Vision Direct Group Future-Proofs Operations through Digitalization

With strong growth in all markets and anticipated revenue of more than €50 million for 2015, Vision Direct Group found its existing sales order management, fulfilment, supply management and procurement processes posed a risk to future performance.

The company selected the Mendix development platform to re-build these processes in-house, as an enterprise suite of interconnected digital applications.

The Need for Flexibility

“Vision Direct Group’s future success required scalable, agile, and interconnected systems adaptable to changing product ranges, geographies, and other needs,” said Miklos Parrag, the company’s chief technology officer.

The new software applications are Mendix Cloud-based and designed to scale and adapt quickly as the market evolves.

Rapid Results

Engaging a lean, agile team of developers and a project manager, Vision Direct Group delivered the entire application suite in just four months.

The project included extensive integration with existing systems, such as NetSuite financials, supplier inventories and a courier management system. Given the complexity, Vision Direct Group estimates a traditional code-based development approach would have taken at least three times the effort and time.
