From a new POS system to a new system map
In the early 2020s Cervera realized it was time to replace the POS system. They had no developers in-house and needed someone with deeper technical competence who could review APIs and documentation and give an honest, independent comparison of the options. That is where Commerce Mind came in. When the Norwegian kitchen group Homeco became the new owner in 2021 the scope widened, and instead of many home-made solutions the whole system landscape was taken on at once.
A complete technical overhaul, with no downtime
Since then Cervera has changed PIM, gained a new ERP and finance system, set up new e-commerce environments, rebuilt the site, migrated data and put the new POS solution in place. All of it had to work under heavy load, not least during Black Week, and be carried out while the business was running at full speed. We came in both as an advisory sounding board and as a practical resource, built integrations and used our framework Nexus to hold the flows together. The setup is flexible: roughly half a full-time position, scaled up and down as needed.

Outcome
A renewed system map in just over a year.
- New POS system, PIM, ERP, finance system and e-commerce environments in place.
- Implementation carried out with no downtime, with capacity for Black Week.
- Integrations built and held together with Nexus.
- A flexible, long-term collaboration scaled to need.
The new systems were implemented in just over a year. The collaboration continues, not least now that Cervera and Homeco are looking at further synergies across the group.
You can rely on Commerce Mind, and that is not to be underestimated.
