A global retailer found themselves relying on staff working double shifts and weekends to compensate for technology that was no longer fit-for-purpose.
Having grown through M&A they had amassed sprawling and siloed tech stacks with each new brand, resulting in various overlapping technologies, an array of ERPs including Microsoft Navision, SAP Business One and multiple bespoke solutions, and legacy ESBs and custom code providing spaghetti integration. This technology was holding their business back: they could not operate at the speed they needed to.
The challenges our client was facing compelled them to make several big changes across the business.
They invested in S/4HANA to replace their legacy accounting tool and ultimately enable each brand to retire their own ERP and migrate to a single, global instance to enable automated and timely financial reporting and prevent their staff working overtime. This was also the perfect opportunity for them to adopt a composable integration strategy across the business and consolidate their legacy ESBs onto MuleSoft, their selected integration platform.
However, they needed a partner with deep expertise in both SAP and MuleSoft to define the strategy and deliver and support the integration needed for a successful S/4HANA migration.
Unlike other potential partners, the Pace team was extremely valuable to us because of both their MuleSoft and SAP experience, and the way they helped us as an integration team to understand best practices and shift the mindset of the company on integration.
