BigCommerce | Professional Services | 1161 | $349M | United States | Bigcommerce | BigCommerce Order Management | Order Management | 2015 | n/a | In 2015, BigCommerce implemented BigCommerce Order Management to centralize order ingestion and orchestration for Order Management business functions. The deployment emphasized an API-first architecture and explicit order lifecycle control to support order capture, pickup workflows, and downstream fulfillment processes. Implementation work included a RESTful API layer built in PHP and a PL/SQL-backed integration pattern, with an internal Angular application to provide business user tools and exception handling. Functionality explicitly implemented included Buy Online Pickup in Store BOPIS support, order import web services to ingest orders from the customer storefront, and backend PL/SQL routines to enrich and persist order records. Integrations were executed using RESTful APIs to connect BigCommerce Order Management with external services, as documented in related development work that integrated with NARVAR for post-purchase tracking, Emarsys for customer email, Riskified for fraud management, and Attentive for marketing, plus an Oracle E-Business Suite instance for order persistence and reporting. These integrations established clear system boundaries between the BigCommerce Order Management application, marketing and fraud tooling, and enterprise ERP data stores. Operational governance centered on API orchestration and database-driven business logic, with the Angular front end enabling business user workflows and exception resolution. Support and enhancement activity included ongoing PL/SQL development to improve reporting and transactional handling inside Oracle E-Business Suite, aligning order management operations across merchandising, customer care, and fulfillment teams. | |

Kaken Pharmaceutical Co. | Life Sciences | 1164 | $572M | Japan | SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Materials Management (MM) | Inventory Management | 2012 | B-EN-G | In 2012 Kaken Pharmaceutical Co. implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Materials Management (MM) under the KAIS project, adopting the B-EN-Gp pharmaceutical industry template to address legal compliance and strengthen internal control. The SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Materials Management (MM) deployment was scoped alongside general accounting FI, management accounting CO, and sales SD, positioning Inventory Management as the central application category for purchasing and inventory control across the company. The implementation emphasized maximizing standard SAP functionality and minimizing custom development, with B-EN-Gp used as the baseline and only a small number of add-on functions introduced. Materials Management configurations included unified purchase order flows for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, centralized procurement processing, and reengineered output forms, while transactional data was routed to an information analysis data warehouse to separate operational ERP processes from downstream reporting. Integrations were explicitly limited to the ERP ecosystem, with ERP linked to workflow engines to strengthen internal control and with data exchange established to JD-NET and the company DWH for analytics. Operational coverage consolidated order receiving from eight branches nationwide into the head office, and treasury and accounts receivable processes were centralized to enable near real-time visibility of financial information through the SAP solution. Governance and rollout followed a policy of standardization, cost reduction, and preparation for in-house maintenance, with B-EN-G acting as system integrator and a planned handover of operations to Kaken over time. The project cut over as planned in April 2012 when the fiscal year switched, was completed on schedule and at low cost, and produced explicit operational outcomes including a 70% reduction in forms, accelerated sales reporting to near next day tabulation, and a shift from monthly to real-time accounts payable visibility. | |
