For 25 years, the Erwin Müller Group has worked with custom solutions based on the mainframe system "IBM i-Series". "In perspective, the system had arrived at the end of its life cycle. It was no longer easy to meet new challenges, such as growing internationalisation or increasing system integration", recalls Christian Bacher, IT Division Manager at Erwin Müller Mail Order Solutions GmbH. As the project durations were getting longer and longer, keeping things as they were was not an option. In 2012 the mail-order company decided on a software change to Microsoft Dynamics AX and integration via Microsoft BizTalk Server.
"Our goal was to stay as close to our standard as possible and only to made individual adjustments when it seemed economically viable", explains
Adjacent systems – e.g. for inventory management, web shops, business intelligence and material planning – are uniformly connected by means of the integration platform Microsoft BizTalk Server.
Founded in 1987, Erwin Müller Group with brands such as VEGA, Hotelwäsche Erwin Müller and Pulsiva is among the leading wholesalers for the catering and hotel industry. The group has a 720 employees employed at its headquarters in Wertingen, Bavaria and its eight European branches.
