The Challenge

A prominent battery manufacturer and distributor, with a significant market footprint in North America and Mexico, identified opportunities for growth in a competitive environment. To capitalize on these prospects, the company initiated a journey of digital transformation, aiming to elevate its business operations. The focus was on upgrading their existing infrastructure, characterized by a variety of custom applications and outdated systems. They sought to refine their sales processes and make the distributor onboarding process more efficient. Additionally, they aimed to enhance their data management techniques, as critical master data was scattered across several systems, impeding data-driven decision-making.
