GLOBUS BELIEVES IN LOBSTER.
Our collaboration with Globus allowed us to offer Germany’s largest chain of DIY hardware stores an efficient data integration tool that met their IT modernisation requirements – Lobster_data. Outsourcing challenges due to complex stock replenishment processes and time-consuming bug resolution practices were quickly addressed. The heterogeneous IT landscape that was once littered with silos and media disruptions was connected to form a seamless system.
But the company saw even more benefits from working with Lobster_data. Reintegrating purchasing and supplier management processes allowed Globus to save time and money. As a central server, Lobster_data was able to coordinate all ERP processes online and across all stores. In a network with over 50 suppliers, the middleware delivers reliable, seamless data processing and supports a tracking system thar collates all data from order placement to delivery to supplier reporting.
From a technical perspective we also connected the company’s systems to Oracle DB and SAP. At Globus, Lobster_data supports countless data formats such as EDIFACT, ORDERS, DESADV, SLSRPT, INVRPT, INVOIC, CSV, PDF and XML and integrates a range of protocols including FTP, X.400 and AS2.
