Unilever set about creating a best-of-breed platform for eCommerce that unifies their portfolio of multiple brands on a common operating model. MuleSoft was adopted to enable the connectivity between the eCommerce platform’s multiple tools (NetSuite, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and others) and to access key on-premise systems such as SAP. In addition, their “adaptive integration” team took an API-led approach to remove bottlenecks and support line-of-business innovation. Using API-led connectivity and Anypoint Platform, Unilever’s teams created a network of reusable services, enabling self-service across various brands.
