The Challenge
Erin Condren Design, a lifestyle brand known for creating organization essentials, faced a significant challenge when they decided to expand into Amazon in 2018. The company used NetSuite ERP and needed to integrate Amazon orders to automate its order-to-fulfillment process. They selected a large iPaaS provider as their integration platform based on a consultant's recommendation. However, after nearly a year of trying, they were unable to successfully integrate the platforms. The lack of a working integration was costing the company significantly in terms of manual work hours, consultant fees, missing and incorrectly entered orders, and the subscription to a non-performing product. Despite the integration provider's attempts to rectify the situation, the process was not feasible for Erin Condren Design's small team, who needed to focus on their core business.
About The Customer
Erin Condren Design is a lifestyle brand that specializes in creating fun and functional organization essentials for various spaces, including homes and offices. The company was established in 2005 as a stationery business and has since evolved into a leading brand in the organization space. Their product range includes high-quality planners, notebooks, custom organizers, desk accessories, and more. As the company experienced success in the retail and ecommerce business, they decided to expand into Amazon in 2018. The company is headquartered in Austin, Texas.
The Solution
In search of a new integration platform, a NetSuite employee recommended Celigo to Erin Condren Design. The team was immediately impressed by Celigo's complete set of pre-built flows via their NetSuite-Amazon Integration App, which was exactly what they needed. Celigo offered an out-of-the-box framework, a SuiteBundle between NetSuite and Amazon, which was far superior to their previous solution. The team quickly selected Celigo and began the implementation process. Due to their previous experience, they conducted the entire implementation in a sandbox environment before rolling it out to production. Within several weeks, the company had automated order-to-cash processes with Celigo for the US and Canada.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.
