Turning Complex Data into an Accessible Marketplace
A new CRM was only worth having if the data from dozens of local ERPs reached it. We built the real-time layer that feeds it, operated it in production, then left a blueprint the team used to take it global.

About the client
Brenntag is the global market leader in chemicals and ingredients distribution. The Germany based international company manages complex supply chains for both chemical manufacturers and consumers by simplifying market access to thousands of products and services. Brenntag operates a global network with about 600 locations in 72 countries.
Why were we there?
Brenntag wanted to integrate a new CRM, SalesForce, by pulling data out of dozens of local ERPs and into a global data marketplace layer, ready to be then scaled to multiple domains and regions.
How we helped
We designed a real-time solution that provides the sales team with instant access to critical business data. Our solution included holistic observability and an incident management process — we didn't just develop it, we also operated it and improved it over time. After completing the integration in two regions, we created a blueprint to expand the solution globally, and trained the team who took over the operations.
The impact we made
The data products we extracted set the foundations of a data marketplace accessed by data scientists, ML engineers, and business analysts.
Technologies we used
“DataChef has shown flexbility in thinking with us as a client and involves the customer in the decision making process across all three technology, people and process pillars”
