CASE STUDY
“ Instead , my team considered a hybrid integration approach . This decision was driven not only by the necessity for a compliant governance system , but also by our imperative to uphold our existing expertise in local systems like HR . To ensure the new ERP would thrive in this unfamiliar environment , we realised HEB could only gain trust by innovating around a stable core .”
HEB implemented Boomi ’ s integration platform as a service ( iPaaS ) to establish hub and spoke integration patterns between its local applications , including payroll , timesheet , inventory management , and equipment maintenance systems . Adopting the ERP ’ s data structure as its data standard , HEB mirrored its local patterns with the global ERP stack to form hub-to-hub connectivity . This approach established seamless communication between both companies and established re-usable integration patterns .
“ Despite the ERP project ’ s complexity , our ‘ slot ’ in the larger global rollout was kept to the same stringent 12-month timeframe . But with the Boomi Enterprise Platform , we had a tool that enabled us to deliver on time , plus create design interfaces that had reuse value – it can effectively replicate what we achieved in other parts of the world with similar local guardrails , regulations , and operational requirements ,” said Van Der Walt .
HEB also implemented Boomi Master Data Hub ( MDH ) to deepen collaboration and precision .
