Thule
Thule, a Swedish based company, has long been a market leader in providing high-end equipment and racks used to transport sports and other gear. While the company was very successful selling their products through a global network of dealers and distributors, their Oracle ERP system was not able to effectively meet the demands of customers who routinely dialed in with orders and inquiries.
