Values delivered to Vargus
Prior to working with Slize, Vargus had made two unsuccessful attempts to implement their sought after digital platform. Their legacy process relied on static PDF catalogues and siloed systems across regional subsidiaries. The need was clear: unify the brand globally, provide a better user experience, and simplify product discovery for distributors and end-users.
Slize Commerce enabled Vargus to build a flexible, multi-market digital catalogue – not an e-commerce platform, but a sophisticated product experience tool. The implementation involved complex data preparation and system integrations, but the outcome was a scalable solution adapted to their unique operational structure.
Integrated 5 ERP systems and a PIM, supporting 13 global markets.
Localised content, units, and languages to meet regional requirements.
Powerful filtering and selection tools for 500,000+ products.
A single, centralized platform that reflects the global Vargus brand.
Customer Experience
From PDFs to dynamic product discovery
Vargus’ marketing and sales teams now benefit from a responsive catalogue platform tailored for their needs – without the limitations of static documents or fragmented systems. Designed to help customers and partners easily find the right tools, the solution adapts to user preferences by country, language, unit, and application.
Key outcomes include:
- A dynamic, searchable product catalogue replacing legacy PDFs.
- Selector-driven interface matching customer needs to correct units and tooling.
- Faster access to product data and specifications – boosting internal efficiency.
- Improved collaboration across subsidiaries through shared infrastructure.
Internally, the platform has become a key part of Vargus’ brand-building efforts, helping unify global messaging and positioning them ahead of competitors who are yet to digitize.

Future Outlook
Vargus now has a strong foundation to build upon. While not initially focusing on e-commerce, the digital catalogue is already delivering real value across teams – making daily work more efficient and aligning the global brand. As the next step, Vargus sees continued collaboration with Slize as essential to remain competitive in the market and meet rising customer expectations for digital experiences and future e-commerce.
