Customer Case: Starboard

About

Starboard is a leading global water sports brand headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand. The company sells paddle boards, windsurf boards, and SUPs worldwide through a B2B e-commerce platform. With 25 years of experience in board design and development, Starboard sets a very high standard for quality and provides innovation and unique designs to surfers around the world.

Case Description

No central solution to manage the whole ecosystem – finding “one source of truth” for product information management ended up being extremely tedious.
ERP systems presented limitations in terms of lacking media support, such as images or videos, for product information.
Keeping track of updates across all data within Google Drive, Dropbox, and other spreadsheets became overwhelming.

Action by Bluestone

Bluestone PIM provides Starboard with flexibility and ease of collaboration between teams. The solution itself proved to be extremely easy to use. The scalability of the solution allows the company to grow globally. Starboard’s products are very seasonal and require constant updates. Bluestone PIM works very well here because of its adaptability to the specific business niche.

Results

Starboard highly values the importance of having an all-in-one solution for their business and recommends Bluestone PIM for managing product data across multiple shop fronts and customer-facing applications.
Starboard is now able to integrate and sync with leading composable commerce and CMS platforms.
Bluestone PIM has significantly improved Starboard’s data management, saving much time for the teams.
Adopting a PIM software based on MACH principles signifies a modern software stack built on microservices, ensuring flexibility and scalability compared to a monolithic solution.
