Accelerating the Supply Chain With Integration

Business Goals

AMCAP provides third and fourth-party logistics for a range of automotive manufacturers.

AMCAP wanted to improve customer experience and also be better prepared to adopt newer technologies and integrations as the market evolves.

The company’s IT transformation strategy featured integration as a critical part of staying competitive in a tough financial climate.

Integration Challenges

Its 250 employees use various warehouse management (WMS) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to manage the national operation.

AMCAP needed to accelerate its supply chain from order thru to delivery, but the company was using a series of custom, ad hoc integrations that were slowing down its business processes. The hand-coded integrations were also making it difficult for AMCAP to access and manage critical data.

How Boomi Helped

AMCAP operates in a time-sensitive industry that relies on to-the-minute accuracy.

By using Boomi to transform its IT and data from a traditional, on-premise model to a modern and flexible hybrid infrastructure, AMCAP was able to streamline its supply chain to boost its ability to deliver on-time, with full visibility into its operations.

AMCAP is also using the Boomi platform to integrate its back-end systems with the SAP Ariba network. This will provide touchless transactions to its key mining industry customers and increase internal efficiency.

Results

Using Boomi to replace ad hoc integrations allowed AMCAP to aggregate and streamline its bespoke on-premise applications into a unified environment. The organization now has:

• A central, unified interface for access to multiple inventories, saving staff time and increasing data accuracy
• Full transparency and visibility into the information from all systems
• Accelerated order-to-delivery times by replacing weekly stock updates with real-time information
