Feldschlösschen Getränke AG

Always up-to-date and close to the market with automated price lists

Switzerland’s leading brewery and largest beverage distributor automates the creation and maintenance of its price lists for the Wine and Spirits division using myPUBLISH. In addition to printed versions, both price lists can now be created digitally in a very short time and made available internally.

For the sales team, the two price lists TheBottle (Wine) and easyDrink (Spirits) form the basis for daily customer interactions in the gastronomy and event sectors. Before introducing the system, up-to-date price lists were no longer available: customers had to be referred to the webshop, and price changes were difficult to implement. Today, the digital price list is a major advantage for Sales Managers. With the automated solution, a small team can now achieve in minutes what used to take weeks.

A whole range of advantages

Optimal Sales Support

Instead of referring customers to the webshop, Sales Managers can now use digital and printed versions of the price lists with an attractive layout and inform their clients through all relevant channels. Ongoing updates ensure that the current product range and correct prices are always communicated.

Always Fast and Up-to-Date

Before the solution was implemented, price list updates happened at most twice a year — far too infrequent in times of rapid price changes and fluctuating product availability. Now, the price list is updated twice a month. Changes and adjustments reach the market much more quickly and can be implemented more effectively.

Saves Time and Money

Thanks to the automated process, no additional help is needed to create the lists. The external agency can now focus on creative tasks rather than producing Excel-based lists. Where employees used to spend weeks on price lists, data maintenance now happens alongside daily work, and the creation takes just minutes.

Automatically Localised

All price lists are published nationwide in three languages. While translation used to be a laborious manual task, it is now fully integrated into the system. For each new or updated item, the system automatically requests and stores a translation for each product. Output into the three language versions happens fully automatically without manual intervention.

Top Data Quality and Process Reliability

Previously, all changes were entered manually into an Excel file used by the external agency to create the price lists. Today, the solution is directly connected to the SAP system. All data is centrally maintained, and the system automatically places products into the layout — without copy & paste or manual steps.

Full Service from Planning to Print

With a single tool, Feldschlösschen now manages all product information and images, including maintenance, updates, and translations. The system enables automated price list generation at the push of a button based on templates. With the connected lettershop, not only digital PDFs but also printed price lists can be produced.

Sustainable Collaboration and Continuous Development

Feldschlösschen has long relied on the publishing expertise of n c ag, valuing a longstanding and trusting partnership. A price list solution based on myPUBLISH has been in use since 2009 for various divisions.
When myCATALOG, a new database publishing solution from n c ag, became available, the Wine and Spirits division chose to implement the new solution based on the existing system. The system is still being continuously developed, introduced in new areas, and adapted to evolving requirements.

Solutions for every need

myPUBLISH seamlessly integrates modular software solutions, offering Feldschlösschen an intuitive publishing portal with excellent user-friendliness and minimal support needs.

Flexible Media Asset Management

With myASSETS, Feldschlösschen uses a highly flexible Digital Asset Management system. All images of offered beverages — such as product shots, packshots, and labels — are stored and managed centrally. Marketing teams can update or add new product images. The system automatically links content to product data in the PIM and prepares it for publication in the price lists.

Consistent Product Data and Price Lists

The product information management (PIM) system myCONTENT is connected to SAP via an interface and retrieves product information. New products or updates arrive daily, are enriched in the PIM, translated into three languages, and approved. Users also define the price list structure here: which assortments appear in which chapters and what templates are used.

Automated Price List Creation

With myCATALOG, Feldschlösschen creates all required price lists using predefined templates. Not only the name but also the content is set — including clearance sales or promotional lists. The system monitors correct page numbers and chapter placement. In the final layout planning, marketers visually check and edit layout and content before generating the price list at the push of a button.

Michèle Binder, Feldschlösschen Getränke AG

Trade Marketing Manager 3PP/Wine/Spirits
«With myPUBLISH we have a full-service solution. We maintain data, manage technical data streams, generate price lists, and even print them via the lettershop — all in one tool. That’s rare and very convenient, as we no longer need to coordinate with various specialised agencies.»

Sustainable Development

Since 2009, Feldschlösschen has used a publishing system from n c ag to produce various price lists. When the Wine and Spirits division wanted to automate its previously manual process, it made sense to build on the existing solution. On one hand, myPUBLISH already included the necessary integration between PIM and SAP. On the other, myCATALOG offered a modern database publishing tool that perfectly met both process optimisation and design requirements.

In the first step, the wine list TheBottle was rebuilt from scratch with all required templates, categories, and automations. In the second step, it was adapted to the specific needs of easyDrink (Spirits) — implemented quickly and reliably with ongoing support and training from n c ag.

The system continues to evolve: every month brings new improvements and updates, such as coloured icons for product status or synchronised changes in layout planning. Major updates are also in progress — such as integrating the PIM with the webshop and rolling out the new solution to other departments still using the old publishing system.
