King Jouet, a family-owned toy company with a significant presence in Europe, embarked on a project in 2019 to consolidate its data flows. The project, initiated by King Jouet’s holding company, the Prenatal Retail Group, aimed to provide all group entities with a single, modern, open, and scalable ERP solution. The company selected Microsoft Dynamics as its ERP solution in March 2020 and Avanade as the implementation partner. However, King Jouet identified the need for an integrator capable of managing all incoming and outgoing data flows. This was a significant challenge as the company had multiple software applications that needed to communicate with each other, including checkout and store management, warehouse management system (WMS), cash management, e-commerce site, the B-to-B order portal dedicated to affiliates and various other applications such as expense report management or decision-making tools.

MéO, a leading manufacturer of custom-made, decorative, accessible, and efficient wood-aluminum joinery, was facing challenges with its ERP maintenance. Over time, the ERP system had become complex with interfaces to many systems and a wide range of corporate information stored in it. This complexity made the maintenance of the ERP system cumbersome. In addition to this, MéO was looking to modernize its production tools and equip its manufacturing workshops with the right management tools to improve performance. The company needed a solution that could simplify its ERP setup and provide real-time insights to enhance its production efficiency.
