Case Study: WMH Tool Group achieves reliable, cost-effective hosted EDI and SAP R/3 integration with SPS Commerce

Reducing costs and vulnerabilities of electronically processing transactions

WMH Tool Group, a subsidiary of Walter Meier Holding AG and a leading manufacturer of tools and metal/woodworking products, faced rising costs and operational risk from an internally managed EDI system while needing reliable, 24/7 electronic connectivity with more than 40 retail customers, including Do It Best, Grainger, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Sears and Wal‑Mart, plus integration with its SAP R/3 environment.

WMH moved to SPS Commerce’s hosted EDI SaaS integrated with SAP R/3, eliminating dependence on internal resources and leveraging SPS’s EDI expertise and platform. The implementation enabled continuous, cost‑effective transaction processing with major trading partners, strengthened partner relationships and let WMH focus on its core business rather than maintaining EDI infrastructure.
