Supply Chain EDI Re-Platforming
Volvo Cars · Automotive Supply ChainStaff Software Engineer2019–2023
License-heavy SAP and TrueCommerce EDI workflows created recurring cost, integration friction, and limited engineering ownership.
Generated multi-million-dollar annualized savings while improving adaptability for supply chain operations.
Context
High-throughput supply chain operations needed owned integration layers with clearer domain boundaries and modernization paths.
Architecture
Moved critical EDI flows into full-stack architecture with clearer domain ownership, integration control, and modernization pathways.
My ownership
Staff-level architecture and modernization leadership across owned service boundaries, migration trade-offs, and operational adaptability.
Evidence boundary
Savings are stated at an annualized order-of-magnitude level because vendor contracts and employer financial records are confidential.
Key Tradeoffs
- Accepted migration complexity to eliminate recurring license drag
- Moved workflows behind owned service boundaries instead of vendor-coupled flows
- Prioritized adaptability for operations over short-term migration speed
