Case Study: Schréder streamlines global outdoor lighting operations with Cegeka and Bluestar PLM

Schréder Realizing a personal customer approach with Microsoft Dynamics ERP

Schréder, a world leader in outdoor lighting, faced challenges managing the complexity of its configure-to-order business across 12 disparate legacy ERP and CRM systems. This inefficient setup hindered collaboration and visibility, obstructing the company's goal of becoming a data-driven organization. To drive growth and improve customer service, Schréder, with vendor Cegeka, embarked on a digital transformation to consolidate its IT landscape using Microsoft Dynamics 365.

Cegeka implemented Bluestar PLM, a product lifecycle management tool fully integrated with the new Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP. This solution connected Schréder's entire value chain, from sales to manufacturing, providing real-time data that streamlined the product configuration process. The integration eliminated inefficiencies, shortened lead times, and provided engineers with crucial visibility, making it one of the company's most successful IT projects and ensuring solutions are produced quickly and cost-effectively.
