Case Study: Century Distribution Systems achieves rapid, scalable EDI integration and automated exception handling with EXTOL's EBI

Century Distribution Systems - Customer Case Study

Century Distribution Systems is a global logistics provider supporting brands like Sephora, Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores and Canadian Tire through its proprietary Visibility Management System (VMS). Century faced a growing challenge: supporting hundreds of customers with unique EDI and data formats using multiple legacy tools, which made building and maintaining custom interfaces slow, error-prone and hard to scale—especially for timely exception handling.

Century replaced its legacy stack with EXTOL Business Integrator (EBI), creating a single any-to-any integration platform and staging layer that cut customer interface build time from weeks to days. EBI also automated data cleansing and exception notifications, consolidated EDI and processing resources, improved operational efficiency and scalability, and freed the team to focus on higher-value customer solutions.
