Case Study: W.R. Grace & Co. simplifies carrier integration and cuts onboarding effort with SEEBURGER

Grace Simplifies Operations, Improves B2B Collaboration

W. R. Grace & Co., a specialty chemicals and materials company, sought to simplify its IT operations by improving integration with its logistics carriers. The main challenge was the complexity of managing a wide variety of message types and formats from different carriers, which required considerable administrative effort. To address this, Grace partnered with SEEBURGER to implement a B2B integration solution.

SEEBURGER implemented its Business Integration Suite as a managed service to handle the diverse data protocols. The solution provided standardized SAP connections, transformed messages into required formats like EDIFACT and CSV, and offered a portal for message tracking. As a result, Grace reduced the effort for onboarding and maintaining carriers by 80 percent, significantly speeding up its shipping process and optimizing its supply chain.
