Unified ERP Integration for a Leading North American Beverage Company.
This success story highlights how Incepta Solutions helped a global leader in the beverage industry streamline its operations with a successful ERP Integration, merging two Oracle JD Edwards (JDE) ERP systems into one. The client sought to streamline operations across their Canada, USA, and Travel & Retail businesses by unifying these systems, reducing complexity, cutting significant licensing costs, and enhancing its efficiency.
We were brought in to consolidate two separate ERP systems—one for Canada, the other for the USA and Travel & Retail. Our goal was to deliver a unified ERP Integration that would:
- Ensure all data flows and ETL processes work seamlessly across all regions.
- Streamline ETL jobs and automated scheduling to minimize redundancies.
- Update and optimize the Oracle data warehouse to reflect the new structure.
- Consolidate business intelligence (BI) reports for easier access and management.
- Thoroughly test everything, from development through production, to ensure a smooth ERP Integration.
Established as a global wine and spirits industry leader, our client offers a distinguished portfolio of over 240 premium products. With a presence in more than 160 countries, they are a key player in the market, renowned for their quality and extensive reach. Their commitment to excellence has solidified their status as a top choice for consumers and connoisseurs worldwide.

- We updated their Power BI and Oracle BI reports to match the new data flows, so there were no gaps in reporting or analytics.
- Every change we made was rigorously tested in all environments to ensure no hiccups during the ERP Integration.
- We provided all the necessary documentation, including system requirement specifications, test plans, and release notes, to make the transition smooth from start to finish.
