The Customer's Pain

Scart was drowning in maintenance work. Their custom e-commerce platform required constant fixes, the warehouse team was buried in manual tasks, and simple feature updates took months. They needed to escape their legacy platform but couldn't afford business disruption during migration.

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.
