Case Study: Société Financière de Distribution achieves automated, secure nationwide provisioning and improved logistics with Axway Synchrony

Automation, improved logistics, transparency and security with Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) from Axway

Société Financière de Distribution (SFD), the retail-distribution subsidiary of SFR operating 300 “Espace SFR” stores across France, needed to modernize its IT to support rapid growth in a highly competitive mobile-retail market. The company required an upgraded architecture that delivered stability, dependability, security and automated, timely provisioning so stores received accurate stock, pricing and transaction data 24/7.

SFD deployed Axway’s EAI solution centered on the Synchrony platform (with Automator, Transfer CFT, Integrator, Sentinel, Gateway and Managed File Transfer) to automate nightly transaction extraction, ERP enrichment, logistics provisioning and BI feeds—Synchrony now handles about 95% of data flows and 120+ formats. The implementation delivered a fully automated supply chain, faster and more reliable deliveries, transparent, measurable service via dashboards, stronger security with zero downtime, improved stock management and superior SLAs.
