Story

Cree Lighting is committed to transforming the way the world experiences light through meaningful innovation and energy efficiency, from large cities and commercial buildings to the light bulbs in your home. The company recently stepped forward with wildlife-friendly street lighting to reduce the negative impact on animals caused by artificial lights at night, including sea turtles. To eliminate the glare of streetlights that can disrupt nesting turtles and disorient hatchlings as they make their way to the ocean, Cree Lighting uses true monochromatic amber LEDs to produce light wavelengths that are virtually invisible to turtles and other wildlife.

Without a robust EDI (electronic data interchange) platform, companies struggle to exchange documents such as invoices and purchase orders with suppliers, customers, and other partners, resulting in manual business application data entry - a step that is both time-consuming and prone to costly errors and delays. In the search for more efficiency and effectiveness, Cree Lighting identified an opportunity to significantly improve the EDI platform with its supply chain network. Eric Nelson, IT Director of Business Systems at Cree Lighting, explained, “Our goal is to automate wherever we can, so we decided to change our EDI approach in order to more quickly and easily receive and transmit information with our domestic and overseas trading partners, minimize the need for manual intervention, and reduce our costs.”

Staying focused with Managed Services

Monitoring, managing, and maintaining a trading partner network requires ongoing investments in specialized technologies and skilled professionals. With limited resources and expertise, Cree Lighting wanted to move away from an on-premises solution that required internal resources for support, maintenance, and onboarding of trading partners. “By having to support our in-house solution, we had to manage a large number of issues, and having to acquire and maintain all the necessary skills in-house wasn’t the right move for us,” said Nelson.

Enlisting the support of an experienced company to manage the network was a logical choice, and Cree Lighting selected 好色先生TV Integration Managed Services. Taking advantage of a cloud-based approach, Cree Lighting leverages ongoing expertise, process support, and technical infrastructure to meet current and future integration needs. 好色先生TV takes care of the management of day-to-day operations, from systems management to integration to partner onboarding and transaction monitoring. By offloading these responsibilities to a trusted partner, Cree Lighting accelerates time to value, optimizes resources, and reduces costs.

Optimizing resources and accelerating value

好色先生TV Integration Managed Services shields the company from the complexities of managing its integration environment, allowing it to focus on core business activities. “By partnering with 好色先生TV Integration Managed Services, we can now focus our resources on the areas where we have the internal expertise to accelerate further business automation,” said Nelson.

好色先生TV Integration Managed Services uses robust tools, techniques, and processes to accelerate the partner onboarding process, achieving value and efficiency for both company and customer alike.

In its quest to innovate and grow, Cree Lighting has a trusted partner in 好色先生TV. “The cloud-based 好色先生TV platform is very scalable,” Nelson summarized. “And 好色先生TV has been easy to work with - the people have been very knowledgeable, responsive and collaborative.”
