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
What they built on Fuuz

## A Golden Record Across The Business

### 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.

### 160+ integrations on Fuuz

Boomi was replaced by Fuuz data flows connecting ERPs, HCM, PLM and operations systems.

### Operational apps on the platform

Teams built operational apps on Fuuz instead of using the legacy tools native to each ERP ecosystem.

### Part search with Claude

Product engineers ask Claude for an item by attributes and ranges, and get a list of candidates from the Fuuz data model.

### Launch management in one place

The entire launch project runs in Fuuz: notifications, alerts, triggers, PLM integrations and feedback loops to supply chain in procurement software and ERP systems.

### Manufacturing BOMs, faster

Manufacturing BOM development moved from weeks to days or less in most cases.

## What Changed

### One definition across the business

Fuuz is the golden record, so the same thing means the same thing in every system and every country.

### A pathway to clean core

The business could identify its needs quickly and address them even faster in Fuuz, which opened the pathway to standardizing its ERPs globally on a clean core.

### Search 40+ sites in one place

Finding a clip, fastener or widget no longer means looking in 12 systems. Engineers ask Claude and Fuuz returns candidates.

### Weeks to days

Manufacturing BOM development dropped from weeks to days or less in most cases.

### Five months to a few weeks

Design-to-production BOM time for plant-level pilots and PTRs, historically about five months, came down to a few weeks.
