Office Depot Europe is a leading expert in workplace solutions. The company operates in seven countries through its two main brands: Viking, which offers business-to-business service via an omnichannel experience, and Office Depot, which operates multi-year contracts with large multinationals.
Over the past 15 years Office Depot Europe has acquired a robust mix of companies to better serve its customers. As a result, the data landscape of Office Depot Europe is vast, with customer and product data stored across a range of locations and applications. What the company needed was a solution to bring all their data together, help them understand where it came from, and make it useful for the business.
This siloed data led to massive inefficiencies around the company. Before implementing Talend, anyone in the organization could access information, cherry-pick specific data, apply their own analytics, and present those results to senior decision makers.
Now that there is a single source of truth for all data, the company has been able to standardize data processes. Business leaders know that they can trust the reports they are given and rely on them for better, faster decision making.
Meanwhile, the company has been able to reduce the number of systems in the tech stack. “We're getting down to one platform for one job: one entry point for our customers to do their online purchasing, one order management system, one fulfillment system,” says Matt Steell, Director of Information and Integration Architecture. “That's where we’ve seen major cost savings out of the overall program.”
By helping to support a culture of data throughout the organization, Talend has helped Office Depot bring relevant information to users faster and do it at a lower cost.
