The Customer's Pain

So I met with Scart's CEO and he was frustrated. Their custom ecommerce site kept breaking, the warehouse guys were copying orders between 3 systems by hand (taking 3 minutes per order!). They were spending more time fixing stuff than selling stuff.

The Full Story

When Scart first contacted me, they were drowning in technical debt. Their legacy e-commerce platform was a constant source of frustration - every small change required extensive development work, their warehouse team was buried under manual processes, and they were missing out on modern capabilities that their competitors were already using.

The migration to a modern SaaS platform wasn't just about technology - it was about transforming their entire business operation. We architected a serverless integration layer that connected their new UNAS platform seamlessly with their existing SAP B1 ERP system. This wasn't a simple data migration; we built intelligent workflows that automated invoice processing, customer communications, and document delivery.

The most challenging aspect was ensuring zero business disruption during the transition. We implemented a phased approach where the new platform ran in parallel with the old system, gradually taking over operations as each component was validated. The warehouse team went from spending hours on manual tasks to focusing on strategic growth initiatives.

Today, Scart operates with virtually no maintenance overhead. Their platform automatically handles complex business processes that previously required constant manual intervention. They've gone from being trapped by their technology to being empowered by it - exactly what every successful platform migration should achieve.

My Approach

1

First, I built some serverless functions to connect their SAP system to everything else

2

Made all their systems talk to each other in real-time (UNAS, Google, their accounting)

3

Set up automation so orders create invoices and email customers automatically

4

Got rid of all the paper - everything's digital now, warehouse guys love it

Technical Highlights

Serverless SAP B1 integration handling thousands of transactions

Multi-service API orchestration (Google, OpenAI, UNAS)

Key Lessons

Here's the thing - Scart thought their custom platform was special. It wasn't. It was just expensive to maintain. Once we moved to UNAS (a proven platform) and I built the integrations they needed, they could focus on what they're actually good at: knowing their products and taking care of customers.
