One definition for everything
Fuuz became the golden record: a work order, a job order and a production order are the same thing in one data model.

One Definition For Everything: Fuuz As The Golden Record
A global Tier 1 automotive supplier, with some aerospace and defense work, replaced Boomi with Fuuz across more than 160 integrations. In six months Fuuz became the system of record across more than 30 siloed systems, including multiple ERPs, HCM, PLM and operations systems.
The challenge
Where They Started
They did not come to Fuuz for MES or WMS. They needed the business to have one definition for everything: a work order, a job order and a production order had to mean the same thing, wherever the work happened.
- More than 30 siloed systems, including multiple ERPs, HCM, PLM and operations systems
- ERPs from Oracle, Plex, QAD, SAP ECC and Infor to AS/400s, across France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Mexico, Spain, China and the US
- Over 160 integrations on an existing integration tool
- The same thing called a work order, a job order or a production order, depending on the system
- Product engineers who could not find a clip, fastener or widget across 40+ sites without looking in 12 different systems
- A plan to standardize the ERPs globally on a clean core, which meant knowing exactly what the business needed
