Home Improvement Products Manufacturer & Distributor

The Challenge

Overcoming legacy systems and data silos to meet rising demands for speed and transparency 

A leading hardware and home improvement products manufacturer was under increasing pressure to operate faster, more efficiently, and with greater transparency. Customers and suppliers expected higher product availability, shorter lead times, competitive pricing, and consistent service—while the business was managing growing complexity across products, channels, and distribution models. 

Internally, the organization relied on a patchwork of legacy systems and manual processes that made it difficult to gain a unified view of financial, supply chain, and master data. Teams spent too much time reconciling information, reacting to issues, and working around system limitations—slowing decision-making and limiting the company’s ability to scale. 

The business set out to modernize its enterprise platform and establish a single, cloud-based foundation that could support future growth, improve operational visibility, and enable more data-driven decisions. Success required not only implementing a modern ERP platform, but also ensuring business-critical data could move accurately and reliably into the new environment.

The Solution

Implementing Oracle Cloud and Informatica for a unified, trusted digital foundation 

Argano partnered with the company to implement Oracle Cloud as a unified system for financials, supply chain, and master data—establishing a single source of truth and replacing several legacy platforms. The new cloud foundation was designed around industry best practices to improve standardization, reduce operational friction, and increase agility. 

At the same time, Argano ensured the business had confidence in its data by designing and strengthening an enterprise data conversion and integration framework using Informatica. This framework became a critical enabler of the transformation, ensuring that data supporting core business processes was accurate, consistent, and ready for use in Oracle Cloud. 

Together, Oracle Cloud and Informatica—implemented by Argano—provided a scalable, secure, and future-ready digital core that allows the organization to adapt as business needs evolve.

The Results

 Enhanced visibility, reduced risks, and a scalable platform for sustained growth 

The company now operates on a modern, cloud-based platform that provides greater visibility across financial and supply chain operations and supports more confident, timely decision-making. 

With a single source of truth in place, teams spend less time reconciling data and more time focusing on strategic initiatives. The organization is better equipped to respond to supply chain disruptions, manage growth, and meet rising customer and supplier expectations. 

By establishing a trusted data foundation with Informatica, the company reduced risk during its ERP transformation and ensured that critical business data remains accurate and reliable as the organization continues to evolve. 

Overall, the transformation positioned the company with a strong digital backbone—enabling improved operational performance today while laying the groundwork for innovation, automation, and future expansion.
