A LANSA Case Study
PartyLite Worldwide, a fast-growing direct-sales maker of premium fragranced candles and home décor with 45,000 consultants across North America, Europe and Australia, was struggling with fragmented, slow reporting and peripheral systems alongside a basic ERP. The company needed a real-time, ERP-integrated, multilingual solution that North American developers could deploy quickly for international offices without data duplication or batch processing.
PartyLite chose Visual LANSA to build inventory forecasting, sales analysis, credit card validation and supplier XML integrations, then modernized and began redeveloping ERP modules (notably customer service). The LANSA-based apps delivered rapid rollouts in English, French and German, first-page query results in seconds, faster call-center handling, and very short development cycles (one module redeveloped in about one man‑month), enabling scalable international growth.
