What was the problem?
Michelin needed a shared European portal that could publish consistent tire information while adapting to local languages, seasonal preferences, car types and tire sizes. The challenge was to keep core content unified while making every market experience feel relevant.

How we structured the solution.
One shared catalog, with local content and tire-selection rules kept distinct.
Centralize the content. Keep local flexibility.
Alfresco provides one place to manage product information, prices, promotions, news and events.
Java and Struts apply season, car-type and tire-size rules, while localized pages present the catalog in European languages and reflect local preferences.
Manage content. Guide tire selection.
