When passion for light meets digital efficiency.
For perdix, light is far more than brightness. It is atmosphere, emotion, architecture. A feeling.
Since its foundation, the Swiss company from Lucerne has pursued a clear vision: to create lighting solutions that do more than illuminate spaces – they bring them to life.Behind this idea are Georgia Daskalopoulou – known to many as “Frau Perdix” – and Patrick Wirz. Two personalities who combine creativity, an understanding of design and technical precision.
As the company grew, so did the requirements for managing product data, technical information and digital assets.
An increasing number of product variants, technical specifications, Relux data, energy efficiency labels and sales channels had to be maintained, updated and kept in sync. Many processes were handled manually, while coordination consumed valuable time and resources.
Time that perdix wanted to invest where its true strength lies: in lighting design, customer projects and innovation.
This is exactly where the collaboration with xmediaLight began.
Initial Situation
As perdix grew, so did the requirements for managing product data, technical information and digital media assets. Many processes had evolved over time and were still partly decentralized and involved a high level of manual effort.
Product information had to be maintained in different systems and kept in sync. Uploads, data synchronization and updates were often carried out manually, requiring increased coordination between internal departments and external platforms such as Relux or Shopware.
The increasing complexity of the product portfolio posed a particular challenge. Lighting series with numerous variants, technical specifications, energy efficiency requirements and industry-specific data standards placed high demands on data quality, consistency and accuracy.
For perdix, one thing became increasingly clear:
To work efficiently, scalably and digitally in the long term, a central platform for product data management and automated processes was needed.
The desire for a central solution
With xmediaLight, the SaaS solution for efficient product data management and digital lighting design, a central platform was to be created in order to:
+ Services
- Consulting + concept
- Setup of the central SaaS environment
- User and rights management
- Multilingual configuration
- Automated upload and import processes
- Integration of the Relux product portal
- Shopware integration
- Training employees to independently maintain data
- Further development + support
A digital foundation for the
future:
What we particulary value about XmediaLight is its industry-specific focus: the seamless Relux integration, automated data processes and straightforward management of complex product information noticeably reduce our team´s workload in day-to-day operations and give us more freedom to focus on what really matters: high-quality lighting solutions with personality

Conclusion:
The implementation of xmediaLight at perdix demonstrates how a specialized product data management system can specifically support the requirements of the lighting industry.
By centralizing and automating product data processes, perdix was able to:
Result:
With xmediaLight, a central digital hub for all product information and media was created.
Product data, variants, technical documentation, images, Relux data and energy efficiency information are now centrally managed, processed automatically and distributed specifically to the relevant platforms.
Less data maintenance. More room for creativity.
The change was particularly noticeable in day-to-day operations.
Where manual uploads, coordination and duplicate data maintenance used to take up valuable time, many processes now run automatically and systematically in the background.
The direct integration of Relux and Shopware significantly reduces administrative effort and ensures that product information is consistent, up to date and quickly available.
For the perdix team, this means one thing above all:
more freedom.
Freedom for new ideas.
Freedom for customers.
Freedom for light.
