Problem

Thule sells in 138 markets and needs product information in many languages. Translating it took weeks.

Approach

The IT firm Nexer linked ChatGPT's translation function to Thule's Stibo Systems STEP product information management platform. Product information can be translated into more than 20 languages. Translated content can be published to the website and other sales channels hourly.
