Ezibuy is Australasia’s largest fashion clothing and home catalog company. Since beginning operations in 1978, the New Zealand-based retail outlet steadily grew and expanded its retail operations. In 1992 Ezibuy opened numerous outlets in Australia and now processes an average of 9,000 purchases per day. The company offers a comprehensive line of fashion and homeware collections which include three distinct brands - Capture, Emerge and Grace Hill- plus the extended choice offered by exclusive brands Glory, Together, Apart and Urban.

Pre-Migration IT Infrastructure

• For the past 15 years, EziBuy had been using DataFlex and Pervasive® database technologies through the DataFlex for Btrieve product line.
• In order to expand their web operations and to improve reporting performance, they needed to consolidate their database into a single RDBMS system with all their ERP systems accessing a single database.

Key Challenge

• Online order processing needed to be expanded.
• Reporting process was in need of streamlining.
• Information was difficult to replicate between systems.
• Business was growing faster than system could manage.

The Solution

• Increase of 100% in orders processed through the web
• Reduction in average order cost
• Increase in average order size
• 5 times increase in order processed per minute
• Faster reporting from a single consolidated database
• Achieved 24x7 operation goal!
