CELUM and OpenText Product Traceability complement each other well in organizations that need to manage product-related digital content with strong governance, while also maintaining traceability across product, compliance, and supply chain records. CELUM can serve as the central hub for approved marketing and product assets, while OpenText Product Traceability can provide the authoritative product history, compliance, and traceability context that informs how those assets are used.
Data flow: OpenText Product Traceability - CELUM
When a product record, batch, or serialized item reaches an approved status in OpenText Product Traceability, the related product images, labels, instructions, and compliance documents can be pushed into CELUM with the correct metadata. Marketing and regional teams then access only the approved version of each asset, reducing the risk of publishing outdated or non-compliant content.
Data flow: Bi-directional
CELUM can store and version packaging artwork, label files, and regulatory inserts, while OpenText Product Traceability provides the product, lot, and market-specific requirements that determine which version is valid. Integration ensures that artwork changes in CELUM are linked to traceability events in OpenText Product Traceability, supporting controlled release of packaging content for different regions or production runs.
Data flow: OpenText Product Traceability - CELUM
Product identifiers, batch numbers, expiry dates, country of origin, and compliance attributes from OpenText Product Traceability can be written into CELUM asset metadata. This makes it easier for marketing, e-commerce, and operations teams to search, filter, and reuse the correct asset for a specific product version or market without manual tagging.
Data flow: CELUM - OpenText Product Traceability
Once a product image, certificate, or instruction sheet is approved in CELUM, the asset reference can be sent to OpenText Product Traceability and associated with the relevant product or batch record. This creates a single governed source for downstream use in manufacturing, quality, customer service, and audit processes, while preserving the approved asset version.
Data flow: OpenText Product Traceability - CELUM
If a product recall, quality incident, or traceability exception is raised in OpenText Product Traceability, the system can trigger retrieval of all related customer-facing and internal assets from CELUM, such as safety notices, product images, FAQs, and replacement instructions. This helps teams respond faster with consistent, approved communications across markets.
Data flow: Bi-directional
OpenText Product Traceability can provide the product readiness status, market availability, and regulatory constraints for each launch region, while CELUM manages the launch assets, translations, and approvals. Together, the integration helps ensure that only launch materials aligned to the correct product configuration and market status are distributed to sales, retail, and channel partners.
Data flow: Bi-directional
CELUM approval workflows can be linked to traceability events in OpenText Product Traceability so organizations can demonstrate which approved asset version was used for a specific product, batch, or shipment. This is valuable for regulated industries that need a clear audit trail connecting content governance with product lifecycle and compliance records.
These integrations are especially valuable for manufacturers and consumer brands that need to align product traceability, regulatory compliance, and content operations. By connecting the two platforms, organizations can reduce manual handoffs, improve content accuracy, and strengthen governance across product and marketing workflows.
