Both the Support and Consulting teams were pivotal to the success of our project. I can wholeheartedly recommend Lobster and Lobster_data, in particular, to other companies.

HUMMEL BELIEVES IN LOBSTER.
As a software provider, we supported Danish sportswear company hummel in optimising its company-wide data integration. Challenges ranged from the lack of connectivity between the e-commerce system and the PoS to insufficient data on stock availability to the inconvenience of being unable to have customers collect online orders from the PoS.
By introducing Lobster_data, hummel saw a range of improvements. The connectivity between hummel’s 10 in-house systems improved significantly and the four legacy systems were all replaced with one single solution – namely Lobster_data. The central middleware is now able to receive vast volumes of EAI and EDI data before converting and forwarding it. The actual implementation time for the software was so fast and efficient, the company was able to cut its time-to-market by 50% and come in under budget on the forecast project costs.
