Emanuel Fritz, Director Global IT, Schleich
Within one year, Schleich achieved its ambitious project goals to manage all interconnected sub-projects such as EDI consolidation, connection of the SEEBURGER Supplier Portal, API integration and e-invoicing FatturaPA implementation. The following process steps proved to be beneficial and ensured the project’s success.
Kick-off By assembling a team of members from several departments, IT experts, external partners and the responsible sponsor, all integration requirements were collected, evaluated and prioritized. The proof-of-concept was defined and, depending on its success, the subsequent goals and schedule were set.
Project During the project, SEEBURGER Cloud consultants and Schleich’s project staff worked together to make all the connections and evaluate them at the end of the project for completed/open or additional/special project tasks. At the end of the project, lessons learned were drawn and the follow-up project was launched.
Proof-of-concept Initially, three partner connections in the countries with the highest sales (DE, FR, US) served as the proof-of-concept. These included a high-volume, a very complex and a traditional, long-established connection such as the automated conversion of email messages into EDI. After the successful integration into SAP, the go-ahead was given for the implementation.
Rollout wave After the very good experiences in the project team with the onboarding of new partners, the project character should be maintained in the further course. It was therefore decided to continue the next implementation steps as a follow-up project in the same team constellation. In this way, the team continues to benefit from effective meetings and rapid processing in agile rollout waves.
Simplification of the Schleich IT landscape through transformation into the SEEBURGER Cloud replaces Microsoft BizTalk and former & regional EDI providers
As a result of the consolidation of legacy EDI systems, such as Microsoft BizTalk, the pending replacement of ERP functionalities and moving all partner connections to the cloud, Schleich is benefiting from the following services:
With the extremely wide-ranged, ready-to-go SEEBURGER repository of standardized partner mappings, our project was completed in record time. We saved valuable project time and were also able to handle special mapping needs with the know-how of the SEEBURGER Cloud consultants.
