Supply Chain EDI Re-Platforming
Volvo Cars · Automotive Supply ChainStaff Software Engineer2019–2023
SAP and TrueCommerce EDI workflows were license-heavy — recurring cost, integration friction, and barely any engineering ownership.
Multi-million-dollar annualized savings, and supply chain ops that could actually adapt.
Context
High-throughput supply chain ops needed integration layers we actually owned, with clear domain boundaries and a real modernization path.
Architecture
I moved critical EDI flows into full-stack architecture we owned — clear domain boundaries, integration control, a real modernization path.
My ownership
I led the architecture and modernization at staff level — owned service boundaries, migration trade-offs, operational adaptability.
Evidence boundary
Vendor contracts and financial records are confidential, so savings are stated at an annualized order-of-magnitude level.
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
