From stalled to sprinting: BC data stream rescued

After an incomplete SIT due to stalled D365 migration and months of project delay, elfware mapped and printed the data migration tool chain within two weeks, enabling UAT to begin. Automated transformations, validation filtering, and reconciliation restored stability across more than 100 integrity checks — enabling three successful dress rehearsals, full recovery. and saving the project 6 months +

“We were facing a complete restart. elfware rebuilt the D365 migration stream in two weeks — from raw data to validated loads — and effectively saved six months of programme time.”

Re-platformed 300+ CI/CD pipelines in 2 weeks

A Tier-1 Australian grocery retailer re-platformed over 300 CI/CD pipelines from GoCD and Bitbucket to Azure DevOps. Using elfware’s Enterprise Low Code, after a 6 week requirements and POC all pipelines were delivered in just 2 weeks, with full validation, transformation, and rollout completed in another 7 weeks — without a single rollback.

“elf delivered at least 50% cheaper and faster than traditional methods … quality, consistency and pattern agility that could not be matched.” — Software Engineering Manager

3-day first prototype; seamless Oracle Retail v11→v16 upgrade

A US-based duty-free retailer with 280+ stores upgraded five versions of Oracle Retail MOM, ReSA and SIM. elfware delivered the first fixed-price data prototype in 3days, followed by 5 more iterative prototypes, two smooth dress rehearsals and a seamless go-live. All migrations reconciled 100% in-scope with zero rollbacks. elfware’s low-code automation cut development time by 80–90% and enabled full audit-ready validation ahead of cutover — ensuring a stable, two-week hypercare with no instability.

“Seeing our own data flowing through the upgraded Oracle Retail environment within three days changed everything — it turned assumptions into evidence.”

12-month parallel run, 8 flawless cutovers — zero rollbacks

To de-risk an Oracle Retail rollout, a £4 billion UK e-commerce retailer printed temporary integrations using elfware’s Enterprise Low Code and Data Patterns. The approach sustained dual-platform alignment for a full year across eight phased cutovers — achieving zero data reconciliation issues.

“No other retailer has been able to deliver a parallel run like us — and it would not have been possible without the elves!” — Retail Programme Manager

Data prototypes in 3 weeks; momentum for workshops

We moved a UK fashion e-commerce retailer to Oracle Retail MOM with a 3-week fixed-price prototype covering 50+ core tables. We then evolved 12 major data footprints, embedded end-to-end reconciliation and data quality, and enabled scenario cuts across 20+ environments (with MuleSoft seeding). Cutover ran to an 8-phase plan under a year-long parallel run, accelerating workshops and reducing risk.

“elfware turned what’s usually a high-risk, late-stage activity into a structured, low-risk flow. The early prototype, embedded reconciliation, and parallel-run stability gave us complete control and confidence.”

21-month Oracle Retail programme delivered to plan

elfware delivered a greenfield Oracle Retail implementation for a leading Australian department store in just 21 months despite many scope changes, under budget, and with zero rollbacks. The programme unified merchandising, planning, and inventory management, integrating distribution automation and in-store PDAs. The small team used their expert knowledge and code-printing capabilities to overdeliver and de-risk cutover. The result: a stable Oracle Retail platform supporting multi-country operations and future optimisation.
