The Challenge: Replacing a Legacy Configuration Landscape

A global leader in process automation sought to replace its legacy configuration system with a modern, flexible solution that could serve as a unified source of truth for product data.

The company required a configuration platform that was ERP agnostic, capable of integrating seamlessly with diverse systems across multiple business units.

The goal was to support digital transformation, improve customer experience, and increase operational efficiency across a complex global structure.

Transformation Journey

Established Upstream and Downstream Integrations

The collaboration began in 2021 with a clear focus on delivering faster time to value.
To accelerate progress, the Configit consulting team was engaged to lead the implementation of the core solution, including modeling in Configit Ace® and establishing key upstream and downstream integrations.

Ensured an Enterprise-wide Comprehensive Approach

This large-scale, multi-year initiative involved eight parallel workstreams across three business units and enterprise IT.
The comprehensive approach ensured consistent processes, unified product data, and a cohesive user experience across the organization.

Created a Modern Digital Ecosystem

By leveraging Configit Ace® as an ERP-agnostic configuration engine, the company has laid the foundation for a modern digital ecosystem that streamlines product configuration and supports integrated front-end experiences for customers.

Future-ready Architecture

The ERP-agnostic foundation enables flexibility and easier integration across platforms.

A majority of our products are highly configured, highly engineered, products.
We literally have billions and trillions of possible permutations that can be sold, and the only way to manage that is to have a strong product configuration platform,
like Configit Ace®."
