About EVO Group

Established in 2014, EVO is the largest multi-channel distributor of business supplies in the UK and Ireland, supporting more than 50,000 resellers with an extensive catalogue spanning office products, facilities supplies, and technology.

The Challenge: A legacy platform holding back eCommerce growth 

Before Pimberly, EVO relied on a legacy Stibo system that struggled to serve the 70% of overall revenue coming from online channels. The platform lacked the agility to cope with multiple catalogues, websites, and printed materials, and it could not scale to the 90k-plus SKU range. Data was fragmented across six ERP systems acquired over time, slowing launches and creating inconsistencies that eroded reseller confidence. 

Because Pimberly is ‘Software as a Service’, we knew we’d always be on the latest version and benefit from an ever-increasing richness of functionality.” 

Daniel Taylor, Commercial Director, VOW Wholesale

The Solution: Flexible, channel-ready product management 

Pimberly became EVO’s central hub for product information and digital assets, replacing siloed databases with a single, cloud-native “golden record.” Automated import routines normalise supplier files, while 45 configurable workflows ensure mandatory attributes, imagery, and compliance data are completed before publication. Because every field can be bulk-edited in spreadsheets and re-imported instantly, the team can react to market changes—such as price fluctuations or regulatory updates—without lengthy re-builds. 

The Results: Faster Launches, Richer Data, Stronger Relationships 

By unifying product data, EVO cut the time required to release new dealer files by 40%, reclaiming vital selling days each season. Resellers now receive consistent, enriched content across the website, printed catalogues, API and EDI feeds, strengthening trust and reducing support queries. Internally, teams no longer chase information across disparate systems; powerful search and filters surface any asset in seconds. 

“We implemented an API for our resellers—eliminating delays and giving them instant access to the latest product data. Previously, we relied on multiple manual channels that were time-consuming to manage and only updated monthly. This slowed down internal workflows and delayed product launches. It’s reassuring to know our resellers are getting the most accurate, up-to-date information.”

Linda Ellis, Master Data System Analyst, Evo Group 

Conclusion

With a robust data foundation now in place, EVO is looking to deepen its collaboration with Pimberly—streamlining supplier onboarding, enhancing data governance, and accelerating time-to-market even further. These next steps will play a critical role in supporting EVO’s long-term eCommerce growth strategy and delivering even greater value to its reseller network.
