Characteristics of [email protected]
• STEP (by Stibo Systems) is the content system for bol.com
• Most content is provided by many suppliers in a fixed format. This is loaded automatically into STEP as supplier data.
• The supplier data is automatically translated and transformed into – for bol.com – relevant information: bol.com content.• Match; Make; Promote
• Bol.com content can/will also be enhanced manually. Wizards are created to support this.
• The bol.com content is hence the 'best' content (“Master Data”)

• Time reduced for adding (new) automated supplier content
• Increased fulfillment rates • Less order cancellations • Improvements to bol.com Plaza
(marketplace) made possible
The future
• We are finishing the implementation of STEP MDM for all other remaining product groups
• We will work on templates, standards and other tools to automate product information management further
• We will continue to grow the STEP MDM solution and enhance the data model further.
• bol.com will continue to invest in the relationship with Stibo Systems in order to have our requirements included in new releases of STEP MDM
ConclusionThe MDM journey doesn’t stop.
Growth leads to new challenges.
STEP by Stibo Systems will help us to make this journey.
