About The Customer
Leatt Corp. is an innovative designer, developer, and distributor of personal protective gear for sports. The company began as a personal project to protect motorcycle riders and has since developed a range of award-winning protective products that are sold globally. As part of its growth strategy, Leatt Corp. decided to expand its reach in the North American online consumer market by adding the NuORDER ecommerce portal. The company uses the SAP Business One ERP system to manage many aspects of its business and sought to integrate this system with the new e-commerce portal.
The Challenge
Leatt Corp., a leading designer, developer, and distributor of personal protective gear for sports, sought to expand its business by integrating an e-commerce portal, NuORDER, with its SAP Business One management software. The goal was to increase its reach in the North American online consumer market and provide a wholesale distribution capability to the business. However, the company faced a challenge in ensuring the seamless integration of data between the two platforms as soon as NuORDER went live. They explored various integration solutions, including those from SAP, but none met their specific needs. The company needed a solution that did not require a high level of technical skills and was suitable for a mid-size company like Leatt.
The Solution
After a thorough evaluation process, Leatt Corp. chose the Flowgear integration platform for its depth of functionality and level of support. The platform was able to meet all of Leatt's integration requirements, including order management, inventory control and updates, pricing maintenance, and customer management. The integration process was completed in four weeks, with the integrations automated and run hourly. Leatt utilized Flowgear’s Professional Services team to supplement its IT team during the project. After the project's completion, Leatt only paid for the integration capabilities they used, eliminating the need for ongoing technical or consulting services. The modern integration platform provided by Flowgear boosted the company's confidence in their data integration capabilities for future needs.

Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.
