E-Sourcing Software Data Migration

PLUS Procurement Data Migration

PLUS Procurement Data Migration

The PLUS Procurement Data Migration project was executed for INVERTO AG to transition critical procurement and sourcing data for PLUS, Germany’s third-largest discount retailer, into an upgraded version of the e-contor software. The project focused on ensuring a seamless, lossless, and highly time-constrained data migration over a single weekend. Through strategic planning, data verification, and multiple mock runs, the migration was performed without impacting business continuity.

Problem Statement

PLUS, one of Germany’s largest discount retail chains, needed to migrate its extensive procurement and sourcing data to a new version of e-contor software. The process had to ensure no data loss, maintain structural consistency, and be completed within a tight weekend window to prevent any operational impact.

Our Solution

We designed a precise, time-boxed migration strategy, including in-depth analysis of old and new data schemas, the development of robust migration scripts, and rigorous testing through mock migrations. The final migration was successfully executed overnight during a weekend with full data integrity and zero business downtime.
