Company profile

World-leading supplier since 1947

The inventor of the modern football, SELECT, has been synonymous with quality and innovation for over 75 years. With a complete product range, they provide everything from balls and equipment to care and support products, serving clubs and retailers across 50 countries.

Serving a global market, SELECT had outgrown data spreadsheets and local asset storage. To tackle their growing need for data accuracy, error reduction and automation, SELECT enlisted Kontainer.

The challenge

Improving

Data & asset control

SELECT faced inconsistencies and inefficiencies due to managing over 6,000 SKUs and 400 data variables. Their assets and data were spread across the company, resulting in challenging version control and correction management.

Local partner and expert D.tails consolidated 4 websites and 4 shops into a single, uniform Shopify solution across SELECT and DERBYSTAR with different languages, currencies, sizes, color specs, and more.

The transformed digital ecosystem required a central platform to receive, manage and output data. And a user-friendly frontend platform for internal teams, retailers, agencies, press, and more to access assets and brand material.

The Solution

Systems connect via Kontainer

SELECT’s asset and data management is coherent. Additionally, everyone loves the DAM interface, which allows internal and external users to self-serve, enabling them to manage their data in one place.
