CMS & DXP

Content Management & Digital Experience Platforms

Create and manage websites, product catalogues and portals with content, product data and digital assets connected in one platform.

Your website content. Connected to your business data.

Pimcore and OpenDXP include content management within their platform frameworks, providing a foundation for building and maintaining websites alongside product information, business data and digital assets.

Your team can create pages, update content and publish information through the editing tools configured for your website. The wider digital experience can extend to product catalogues, customer portals and connected services.

Stimulus brings these capabilities together around your content, users and existing systems.

CMS CAPABILITIES

Tools for everyday content management.

Build a content management environment that supports your team from page creation through to review and publication.

Page creation & editing

Create and update pages using editable text, images, links, video and reusable content blocks. Keep everyday content changes within your team.

Reusable content

Maintain shared content in reusable snippets and sections. Use common information across pages while allowing local variations where needed.

Multi-site & multilingual

Support multiple websites, brands and languages within a shared platform, with content structures defined around your markets and teams.

Version history & scheduled publishing

Review content changes, restore previous versions and schedule publication or removal to support campaigns and planned updates.

Content review & approval

Configure editorial stages and approval steps around your publishing responsibilities, helping teams prepare and review content before release.

Navigation & SEO controls

Manage page structure, navigation, metadata and redirects, with XML sitemaps configured to support search engine discovery.

CONNECTED CONTENT

Build pages with the information you already manage.

A connected CMS can do more than store page text. It can present structured information managed in PIM and MDM, together with images and documents held in DAM.

Editors can add configured custom widgets to a page and select the products, brands, office locations or other records they want to display. The widget then presents information from those records using the design and rules defined for your website.

Products & product lists

Display selected products or configured product lists with relevant specifications, images and supporting documents.

Brands & related information

Build brand pages and connect them with related products, logos and other managed content.

Offices & locations

Present addresses, contact details and other structured location information in reusable website components.

Manage information at its source and reuse it across relevant pages. Where widgets reference those records, updates can be reflected without manually re-entering the same information on each page.

Explore DAM

An editor adds widgets and selects records from PIM and MDM, assets from DAM and page content from CMS. A fictional web page displays a product list, brand and office location using that information.

TEMPLATE ENGINE

More control over your content and page layouts.

We use the Template Engine plugin to extend page editing with flexible layout controls and a wide range of reusable widgets.

Create pages, add and rearrange content blocks, duplicate sections and adjust columns, backgrounds and spacing through visual editing controls. Handle everyday content and layout changes without writing HTML or CSS.

Flexible, responsive layouts

Control how content is arranged across mobile, tablet and desktop screens.

Content widgets

Combine text, images, sliders, embedded media, PDF viewers, tabs, accordions and forms.

Reusable sections

Reuse configured sections and snippets to maintain consistency across your website.

Custom data widgets

Extend pages with components that present products, brands, locations and other structured information from your platform.

A conceptual desktop page contains a hero, text and image columns, and a product list. A mobile layout presents the same content vertically. Symbols represent moving blocks, duplicating sections and adjusting columns.

DIGITAL EXPERIENCE

Extend the digital experience.

Connect your website with CRM, email marketing and analytics services to support more relevant customer interactions.

Where required, an implementation can combine targeted content, customer segmentation and behaviour-based actions using appropriate platform components and integrations.

SOLUTION FIT

Is it a fit for your business?

A connected CMS and DXP is particularly useful when your website needs to work with structured information, multiple publishing requirements and existing business systems.

Your website depends on more than page content

You need to present products, brands, locations, documents or other managed records across your website.

Your content serves several audiences

You manage multiple brands, websites or languages and want to reuse information while allowing relevant local differences.

Your digital services need room to develop

You need a foundation that can extend into product catalogues, customer portals and connected services as requirements grow.

For a straightforward information website with limited data or integration needs, a lighter CMS may be a better fit. The choice should reflect your requirements and the investment in implementation, hosting, maintenance and ongoing development.

Stimulus helps Australian manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors assess that fit based on the work the platform needs to do, rather than company size alone.
