Case Study: OEM Bitan Spark achieves 7x faster sales process with OpenLegacy

OEM Bitan Spark Uses OpenLegacy to Reduce Selling Time by 7x

OEM Bitan Spark, a leading importer and distributor of motor vehicle spare parts in Israel, faced the challenge of modernizing its sales process. Its sales force was reliant on calling a central office to check inventory and place orders from their legacy IBM i (AS/400) ERP system, which was inefficient and time-consuming. They wanted to provide real-time mobile access without waiting for a full ERP migration and turned to OpenLegacy for a solution.

Using the OpenLegacy platform, Bitan Spark developed and deployed a tablet application connected directly to its core IBM i system without any modifications to the legacy code. This solution, hosted on IBM Bluemix, gave the sales team real-time access to inventory and ordering functions from anywhere. The results were significant, with OpenLegacy helping to reduce the sales process time by 7x, from 15 minutes to just 2 minutes, leading to measurable sales gains and improved customer satisfaction within three months of implementation.
