Case Study: Movado Group Inc. achieves accurate SAP master-data migration and streamlined mass loads with Syniti

How BackOffice Associates helped Movado Group save many weeks of labor and avoid potentially disastrous business disruptions with Quadrate software

Movado Group Inc. faced a high-risk global “big bang” move to SAP that demanded complete, accurate master data from day one, detailed documentation of controls, and a way for non-technical business users to perform large mass loads without compromising SAP security. To address these challenges, Movado turned to Syniti and deployed the Quadrate data-loading solution to prepare for and sustain the ERP transition.

Syniti implemented Quadrate for initial migration, testing and ongoing bulk master/transactional updates, enabling business users to upload Excel files securely while preserving SAP validations and security. The result was a smooth go-live with full business continuity, drastically reduced developer and IT workload, and measurable time savings (for example, an 8,000‑employee load that would have taken ~670 hours manually was completed in one day—saving 84 days), faster corrections (minutes instead of days), and a return on investment in under 12 months. Syniti’s solution improved data quality, increased productivity, and made mass-loading a routine, low-risk activity for Movado.
