Project Summary

Zaven implemented a web-service API integration for Installation Made Easy (IME), enabling real-time integration with a large retail partner and interfacing with IME’s SAP and EDI systems. The integration automated data and payment reconciliation, reducing manual accounting work. The vendor acted as a partner, delivering on time and on budget, and their work is projected to run $80–$90M through the API with an expected ~$10M revenue improvement versus the prior method.

Key Challenges

  • Real-time integration with a retail partner's accounting systems
  • Integrating with big-box retail partners requiring SAP and EDI connectivity
  • Working with a legacy codebase and internal business processes

Project Deliverables

  • Web service API integration
  • SAP integration
  • EDI integration
  • Data and payment reconciliation automation

Project Solution

Zaven implemented and integrated a web-service API between IME and a large retail partner, using web services to exchange data. They interfaced the API with the client’s SAP and EDI systems to enable seamless data and payment exchanges and automated reconciliation. The vendor provided project management and QA support; the engagement included a named project manager and ran from February to April 2020 with an approximate spend of $25,000.

Project Outcome

  • We should be running $80 million–$90 million dollars through this API
  • We expect to see growth of $10 million over the prior method
  • The team delivered on-time and on-budget
  • The vendor acted as a partner, owning and understanding the solution
