In the 1990s, many companies jumped on the ERP bandwagon to consolidate their major business operations under one technology umbrella. Those systems enabled a shift in how organizations automated and integrated business systems.
Today, we’re seeing those same companies replace their legacy, on-premises systems with new cloud-based SaaS solutions that can be managed and scaled more quickly.
One of the clearest benefits of these modern SaaS solutions is how easily they can be integrated with one another. Cloud-based integration solutions, like Boomi AtomSphere, enable a massive shift in how organizations can automate and integrate business processes.
Integrating a company’s business systems enhances the ways data can be leveraged for better business opportunity planning and forecasting. And just like we saw in the 1990s, companies are using this shift to seek a competitive advantage.
Automate Supply Chain Processes with NetSuite Integration
Boomi customer RHD Tire is a $100 million wholesale tire distributor that supplies more than 90% of car dealerships and individual and franchise tire retailers in the state of Michigan. Although they started as a one location retailer, RHD has recently expanded its operations dramatically.
Despite this rapid expansion, RHD was operating with a variety of location-specific customizations of its proprietary DOS-based point-of-sale software. This hodgepodge of systems could not keep up with RHD’s growth.
Turning to Boomi for help, RHD upgraded to NetSuite through the Boomi AtomSphere Platform, which has automated all the business processes between RHD and the tier-one tire brands it carries, including Goodyear, Bridgestone, Michelin, Continental, and Pirelli along with specialty makes like Hankook, Yokohama, and Toyo.
The near-immediate impact of that automation of supply chain processes has been impressive, including:
- 10% consolidation in delivery routes
- $325K lower vehicle and labor costs
- Centralized purchasing and inventory management
- Increased efficiency in stock-picking
- Reduced lost inventory
Achieve a Single Source of Truth with Salesforce Integration
Another Boomi customer, Azur, is a disruptive insurance technology company launched in 2015. Azur took a best-of-breed approach to selecting IT systems rather than an all-in-one ERP application. This gave the company great functionality, but integrating all the various solutions was a challenge, especially as it onboarded newly acquired companies as part of an aggressive growth strategy.
The team at Azur depends upon daily forecasts driven by real-time financial information to provide its insurer customers accurate quotes and claims data. It turned to Boomi to integrate systems onto Azur’s Salesforce platform to deliver a single source of truth.
In addition to supporting its customer-facing operations through Boomi integration, Azur has also been able to connect a range of IT applications, both legacy and new, eliminating human error from manual data entry.
