Case Study: Schmidt Groupe achieves greater API visibility and omnichannel retail modernization with Google Cloud Platform

Schmidt Groupe Modernizing its retail IT system with Apigee

Schmidt Groupe, one of France’s largest manufacturers of bespoke home living solutions, needed to modernize its retail IT and support a more omnichannel customer journey across ecommerce and showrooms. The company worked with Google Cloud Platform and partner CGI to replace legacy point-to-point integrations with an API-driven approach, using Apigee API Management to gain better visibility and control over its services.

With Google Cloud Platform and CGI, Schmidt Groupe implemented Apigee in SaaS mode, defined API architecture and best practices, and improved monitoring of response times and application issues. The result was greater oversight for developers, stronger security for data and web services, and more standardized API development across the group, with the company planning to extend this with Apigee Hybrid and a cloud data repository.
