About The Customer
Mondi Packaging is a growth-oriented supplier of packaging solutions and high-performance materials. The company employs around 14,000 people in 124 sites worldwide. In 2004, the group revenues were well over two billion euros, of which 630 million were generated by the bags business unit alone. This division manufactures paper sacks tailored to the individual needs of its customers. Mondi Packaging Bags is the world leader by market share in this industry sector and a pioneer in its quality and service offering. The company has set itself some demanding objectives, including extending its leadership position in innovation and ensuring that all management decisions have a positive impact on competitiveness, as well as on the bottom line.
The Challenge
Mondi Packaging Bags’ site acquisition strategy resulted in a heterogeneous IT landscape structure that was rapidly becoming too complex. Over 20 different back-office systems were running on a wide variety of platforms and with varying software release statuses — all systems needed to be connected to the sales portal. The company was also planning to gradually implement SAP systems in all of its larger production sites. The challenge was to create an integration layer to connect all company systems and all of its customers’ procurement systems to the sales portal.
The Solution
Mondi Packaging needed to create an integration layer to connect all company systems and all of its customers’ procurement systems to the sales portal. Using the webMethods product suite, customer procurement, accounting, production planning and control systems are now connected to the portal to underpin Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment standards. The sales portal is a globally accessible, open supply chain management infrastructure that was developed using the webMethods product suite. Customer procurement, accounting, production planning and control systems can be easily connected to the portal to underpin Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPRF) standards. Customers can search all Mondi Packaging Bags sites for their stock levels, turnover, current order status, and of course they can also enter new orders.
