Overview
We partnered closely with supply chain and operations leaders from Schneider Electric to help accelerate digital transformation and overcome data complexity.
Challenge
Schneider Electric wanted to digitise and simplify its specification process for Electrical and Mechanical Customers. Product information, configuration logic and specification workflows were distributed across multiple systems and formats, creating complexity for users and limiting visibility across projects and opportunities.
The organisation needed more than just a new digital tool. It required a trusted data foundation that could reduce operational friction, improve consistency and enable long term innovation.
Key goals
- Audit and integrate fragmented data into a trusted, scalable foundation
- Reduce complexity through data cleansing, standardisation and automated workflows
- Empower Schneider Electric teams with greater visibility, consistency and insight
- Accelerate digital transformation by enabling faster innovation and adoption
Data Engineering
We liaised with Schneider Electric domain experts to understand their business and the challenge they needed to overcome. Together, we partnered with their teams to audit, structure and integrate complex product and specification data into a single scalable platform.
Through collaborative workshops and agile delivery, H&C helped unify disconnected datasets, standardise business rules and engineer streamlined workflows that made specification creation faster, simpler and more reliable for users.
By reducing data complexity behind the scenes, Schneider Electric’s teams were empowered to focus on delivering value to customers rather than managing fragmented information and manual processes.
The resulting cloud-based specification platform provided:
- Centralised and governed product data
- Configuration and validation workflows
- Improved visibility across projects
- A scalable foundation for future digital innovation
Impact
The platform transformed how Schneider Electric managed and delivered specification services globally. This would never have been possible without setting a strong foundation for innovation by engineering the data.
By creating a cleaner, more connected data environment, we accelerated time to value, improved user adoption and enabled Schneider Electric to continuously evolve the platform as new opportunities emerged.
This initiative enabled Schneider Electric to gain competitive advantage over its competitors and deliver greater value to its customers.
Most importantly, the programme established the foundations for ongoing innovation - giving Schneider Electric’s teams the confidence, flexibility and visibility needed to support future transformation initiatives at scale.
