Our Projects

Soennecken eG is celebrating its 150th anniversary.  A remarkable milestone for a cooperative that continues to evolve, including in its digital infrastructure.

Our collaboration focuses on SEEBURGER BIS, system integration, and the structured implementation of scalable, reliable processes. One of our early joint efforts was the migration to BIS6, with a strong focus on automation, standardization, and long-term maintainability. You can find more details in our project reference.

Currently, we’re supporting the D365 ERP rollout at Soennecken, aligning new ERP structures with existing B2B and EDI communication flows. The goal is to ensure seamless integration between legacy interfaces and future-ready data processes.

In March 2025, we had the opportunity to attend Soennecken’s internal trade fair (s. picture above).

A great moment to recognize long-term cooperation and mutual trust in digital transformation initiatives.

Congratulations to the entire Soennecken team – we look forward to the next chapters of this collaboration.
