Case Study: Groupe Le Duff achieves rapid, .NET‑based integration and automated data flows with Neuron ESB

Serving up flexible integration to merge disparate systems and restaurant properties

Le Duff America, the North American subsidiary of Groupe Le Duff and owner of brands like Bruegger’s, La Madeleine and Mimi’s Café, struggled with a fragmented IT environment after multiple acquisitions. Each property used different systems and development languages, preventing internal and third-party systems from communicating and forcing time-consuming, error-prone manual processes.

Le Duff executed a proof of concept and implemented Neuron ESB, a .NET-based integration platform, then trained its .NET developers with Neuron specialists. Using Neuron’s adapters and publish/subscribe model they consolidated HR, payroll, financial and vendor interfaces, cut development timelines from weeks to days or hours, automated data flows to eliminate manual feeds, and gained reusable, scalable integration for future acquisitions.
