Fragmented software
The information lived in several separate ERP systems that were not connected to one another.
Supermarkets and fast food
A unified system that brings together the fragmented ERP software of Makao

The problem
What was not working
The chain ran its operations across several different ERP systems that did not talk to one another, while activities essential to daily work had no software of their own and were tracked piecemeal. There was no unified view across all the sites.
Activities without software
Processes essential to daily operations had no dedicated software and were handled manually.
No unified view
Combining data from the sites required manual transfers and double entry.
The solution
What we built
We built a unified system that brings the information from the various ERP software together in one place and adds modules for the activities that have no dedicated software — tailored to the real processes of the chain.
- Consolidating data from the various ERP software into a single operational view
- Integration via API keys, with no manual transfers between systems
- Custom modules for the operational activities that have no software of their own
- Unified access to the information across all the sites of the chain
- Tailored to the way Makao works, with no compromise to a third-party system
