Within six months, thanks to a seamless collaboration between Boomi and partner IFS, SATEBA built a modern IS that automates workflows and uses real-time electronic data interchange (EDI) to streamline processes between major business functions from production/supply chain to finance/accounting, HR/payroll, and more
Boomi, the intelligent connectivity and automation leader, today announced that SATEBA, a European leader in the design and supply of concrete rail infrastructure parts, implemented the Boomi AtomSphere™ Platform to overhaul its information systems to both accelerate growth and develop sustainable railway solutions in support of decarbonization initiatives.
Following its independence from the Consolis group and its acquisition by TowerBrook Capital in early 2021, SATEBA sought to accelerate its digital transformation by modernizing its IT systems to improve its operational efficiency and capacity for innovation. To do this, the company needed to structure and streamline the transfer of information between applications to provide rationalization and data quality to the major business functions, including production/supply chain, finance/accounting, and HR/payroll, as well as specific software as-a-service (SaaS) solutions the organization utilizes.
Operating in ten countries across Europe, SATEBA relied on Boomi’s integration platform as a service (iPaaS) to harmonize all its processes, establish real-time data flows, and ensure the implementation of common tools for its 16 production sites and engineering center within just six months. For the project, Boomi worked closely with the enterprise resource planning (ERP) software provider IFS and integration partners.

“At SATEBA, we are moving from an old digital scheme that required a lot of data entry, to a hyper-optimized scenario that improves our daily efficiency,” said Vincent Fournier, General Manager France & Business Development Manager of SATEBA Group. “We now have a fully integrated application system with the Boomi AtomSphere Platform working as the gateway, from order receipt to invoicing, all accessible in real time for better business visibility.”
The IT department and management team at SATEBA selected the Boomi platform due to its ease of use, low-code approach, and speed of deployment. While modernizing its information systems, a critical priority for SATEBA’s IT department was to guarantee the operational continuity of the 16 production sites, as well as ensure connectivity and data access for the approximately 230 users of the centralized platform, for the benefit of the organization’s 1,000 employees who are often in the field.
Beginning in 2021 at the start of the deployment of the new ERP, SATEBA worked with Boomi, IFS, and integration partners Fekra and BeeBay to build Boomi flows that would standardize the processing and optimize the transfer of data between applications. In total, more than 25 application interface flows, including 20 real-time data flows, were first implemented in a pilot phase in Finland. After the successful pilot project, which took less than six months, SATEBA accelerated the rollout to the rest of the organizations’ 16 sites throughout Europe and its engineering and testing center.

“SATEBA undertook an ambitious endeavor to build an entirely new information system from scratch, in a very short amount of time,” said Pierre Oudot, Senior Manager, Boomi South. “Thanks to the seamless collaboration between Boomi and IFS, as well as our platform’s powerful capabilities, SATEBA was able to quickly and intelligently connect a very complex set of IT systems, applications, and data sources across multiple business units and geographic locations – all while keeping critical business operations running to accelerate growth.”
