Start small, think big, scale fast was the underlying approach at adidas. They needed to connect their silos across multiple departments, making their platform user friendly and more efficient.

Using Bizagi and an agile methodology meant less development, more efficiency, and cost reduction. adidas standardized processes and made them reusable to deliver automation across various departments including supply chain, marketing, finance, retail and eCommerce. The highly successful initiative reduced the time to market by two thirds when compared with the traditional in-house development.

We connect a lot of systems together with Bizagi… it’s important to model the process first and then the online platform makes it more user friendly for our customers."
