Information
Summary
FTZ is a B2B auto-parts and tools reseller, which serves the majority of the Danish market with aftermarket parts, offers 3 million products and had a yearly net sales in 2020 of 2.3 billion DKK.
I was deployed to design and develop a cloud- and data integration-platform to serve as a layer between their legacy systems and their concurrently developed webshop. In addition, FTZ needed a structured and transparent way to manage, modify, and extend business critical third party data. Because the project was the customer’s entry into cloud based solutions, it included setting up all initial infrastructure and pipelines, effectively preparing it for future projects.
The delivered system transformed, warehoused, and served core business data from third-parties on all european car models, auto parts, and their respective relationships whilst also allowing FTZ to inspect and maintain the data. Furthermore, the system exposed e-commerce functionality and data from legacy systems.
Additionally I took on Lead role for the final six months, facilitating SCRUM as well as onboarding of new team members, reporting to management, and serving as the customer’s primary contact.
