Case Study: Findus France achieves real-time operational dashboards and 20% productivity gains with Talend Data Services/ESB

Delivering fresh food straight to the freezer

Findus France, a leading frozen-food manufacturer known for rapid product innovation and strict traceability, needed to renovate its information system to support growth, connect with retail partners and ensure continuous cold‑chain control. The company’s challenge was to deploy Business Activity Monitoring for real‑time operational dashboards and alerts, interconnect more than 30 management systems (with hundreds of interfaces planned) and add new partner interfaces without compromising availability.

Findus chose Talend Data Services/ESB—validated via a pilot with partner ACSEP—for its openness, connector library and EDIFACT/EDI support. The rollout delivered real‑time dashboards and stronger error management, enabled plug‑and‑play addition of connectors, produced reusable modules, and achieved about a 20% productivity gain in interface development; roughly 50 interfaces are currently being built with plans for 200+ further integrations.
