Our Lobster_data software allowed us to offer the plastics and tool manufacturing specialist Hess a holistic solution for its previously heterogeneous IT landscape.

Hess’s challenges stemmed from the incompatibility of multiple ERP systems within their landscape as well as time-consuming troubleshooting and error resolution processes in combination with the incompatibility of the legacy system and the company’s international expansion plans.

We were able to offer the company a solution that offered a range of benefits: transparent, flexible and scalable data exchange; the inclusion of a large selection of formats and protocols as standard; a central monitoring tool; the ability to consider deadlines and receive warnings in case of field errors and faulty EDI settings (e.g. delivery note to be sent before delivery). The option to have non-IT experts deliver their data integration strategy using a single no-code tool allowed Hess to quickly drive the transition from VDA to EDIFACT. Now, the company can now convert over 40,000 data sets every month.
