Apollo Fire Detectors: Digital Transformation

The challenge

Apollo was looking to embark on a digital transformation to include a new website, a new mobile app and a new master data management system (MDM) to streamline their product profile information, which historically sat in spreadsheet silos.

The plan

Having chosen a new MDM solution by the time we joined forces, the brief was to integrate the new system to the website, ensuring visibility of all of the product information and digital assets, such as imagery, literature, drawings, video and audio files. The website itself needed in-built marketing automation and a design refresh to engage better with their target audiences.

After careful review of the market, Apollo chose a leading content management system for their website platform. Profound then worked with Apollo to deliver the website, a brand update and new guidelines, system integration with the MDM and a mobile app for their installers.

Value delivered

Following the implementation of the new platform, Apollo is now working with profound to expand this solution across key regions. The EMEA team is also engaging with a content marketing campaign to unlock the potential of the platform and reach more ambitious strategic goals through digital solutions.

What the client said...

“This has been a great journey for us so far. We selected profound as our digital partner and they have been exactly that; a real partner…. Profound also paid great attention in their design to the personas and user journeys we target – their insight and leadership in those early workshops was an important step in the early elaboration process…In many ways our digital transformation has just begun and this new integrated platform with advanced personalisation and marketing automation provides the marketing team with an incredibly powerful toolkit to better engage with customers and grow the business.”
