Objectives:
Ecobat Battery, the European leader in battery distribution, manages a vast network of complex operations across Europe. Continuously optimizing its customer service and improving the working conditions of its operators requires smooth and efficient logistics, particularly for managing online orders via platforms like Amazon. However, this management poses a significant challenge: data formats vary considerably between different stakeholders.
Solution
To automate and optimize this critical feed, Ecobat adopted WeTransform. This enabled the automatic transformation of order files into the format required by each partner—Amazon on one side and TNT on the other—while ensuring maximum accuracy in data transfer.
WeTransform allows Ecobat to customize its files, providing essential flexibility to manage the nuances of data formats while respecting the constraints of different platforms.
Benefits
- Flexibility and personalization
Adaptability is an essential asset given the differences and requirements of input and output format. - Automation and efficiency
The order feed is now fully automated, eliminating any manual intervention, allowing dozens of orders to be processed daily. - Time saving
Time spent manually managing orders has been reduced by more than 80%, allowing the team to focus on higher value-added tasks.
Automation through WeTransform has been a game-changer for us. What used to take us several hours each week is now fully automated.
Set up
WeTransform automatically retrieves files from Ecobat servers, then applies transformations to prepare the data for TNT. The tool filters orders by status, adjusts the format, adds missing information, and validates data compliance. TNT then returns tracking numbers through the same system.
WeTransform’s intuitive interface allows for configuration changes without a developer and provides complete traceability of sent and received files, simplifying investigations.
Functions utilised:
- Filters
- Reformatting
- Concatenations
- Validation
- Enrichment
- Error handling
Easy Maintenance
Using WeTransform not only saved Ecobat time, but also resulted in substantial savings in development and maintenance costs. If Ecobat had had to develop and maintain a similar solution in-house, it would have required significant investments in technical resources.
Security
Ecobat places great importance on data security and GDPR compliance. By integrating WeTransform, the company ensures that its data feeds are handled in full compliance with personal data protection standards. WeTransform guarantees secure processes and strictly adheres to GDPR regulations, providing Ecobat with a reliable environment for managing its sensitive information.
We particularly appreciate the reliability of Ecobat's system. The files are always in our format, similar to EDI, which facilitates our order processing. This allows us to gain efficiency while reducing the risk of errors.
Support
WeTransform’s support is responsive and efficient. The support team responds quickly to requests and resolves technical issues promptly. Whether for configuration adjustments, optimizations, or usage advice, the support team provides personalized guidance. This provides users with reliable service that allows them to easily get the most out of the tool.
Development cost savings
Devloping an ad hoc solution would have generated substantial costs.
Reduced maintenance
Steering via WeTransform allows for easy and rapid updates at lower cost.
