Case Study: Pacer Group achieves 50% faster label and barcode generation with Progress DataDirect

Pacer Group speeds label and barcode generation 50% with Progress Software

Pacer Group, a leading distributor of wire, cable, and electrical parts, faced a critical data access challenge after moving to the cloud. Their new systems, including Salesforce, Rootstock, and Microsoft SQL Server, blocked ready access to raw data, slowing key processes like label and barcode generation to a halt. To solve this, they turned to Progress Software and its DataDirect connectivity solution.

The Progress DataDirect solution provided real-time access to the cloud-based data with minimal IT assistance. This enabled Pacer Group to quickly deploy a business-critical application, which resulted in generating labels and barcodes 25-50% faster. The implementation also delivered substantial cost savings of approximately $100,000 by avoiding consultant fees and set the stage for future streamlined integrations.
