Retailers today face a data-driven world filled with complexities.

Disparate systems, data silos, and lack of real-time insights can hinder decision-making and customer satisfaction. This is where Magic Software steps in. By leveraging robust data management capabilities, Magic not only integrates systems but also empowers retailers to unlock the full potential of their data—creating actionable insights, improving operational efficiency, and delivering unforgettable customer experiences. We chose four leading customer stories that have already succeeded, showcasing the transformative results and real-world impact of smarter data management.
Christofle: A Legacy Polished by Technology
For Christofle, a luxury brand renowned for its silversmithing and exceptional tableware, delivering a premium customer experience was non-negotiable. But as their operations expanded, so did the complexity of their systems. Synchronizing Microsoft Dynamics 365, Oracle JDE, Magento, and a marketing platform to create a unified customer journey seemed like an insurmountable challenge.
With the Magic Integration Platform, Christofle transformed its operations. The brand achieved a first-class customer experience, enhanced its marketing campaigns by personalizing them based on customer behavior, and simplified its global inventory management. Costly development cycles became a thing of the past. According to Saad Moumou, Director of IT Systems, “We had to improve communication between systems ourselves.” Magic Integration Platform made this ambition a seamless reality, preserving the luxury experience while adapting to a digital-first world.
New Flag: Beauty Meets Business Efficiency
New Flag, a rapidly growing beauty distributor operating in 80 countries, faced a dilemma. The very success that had propelled their growth had also resulted in data silos and disjointed systems. Integrating their ERP system, demand planning tools, and e-commerce platforms was critical to maintaining their momentum.
Magic Integration Platform became the glue that held their digital ecosystem together, connecting Microsoft Dynamics 365, Anaplan, Spryker, and ShareFlex. The transformation was profound. New Flag centralized its data hub, enhanced security, and reduced manual workloads and errors. End-to-end business processes became a reality, enabling the company to innovate with confidence. Christian Engl, Associate Director IT Product & Operations, described Magic Integration Platform as “the heart of our IT,” empowering New Flag to stay agile and resilient in an ever-changing market.
Creed Fragrance: Modernizing a Timeless Brand
For over 260 years, Creed has crafted iconic perfumes celebrated worldwide. But scaling a legacy business to meet modern demands required reimagining its IT systems. Coordinating manufacturing, e-commerce, logistics, and reseller management across multiple geographies posed a significant challenge.
With Magic Integration Platform and Magic EDI services, Creed built a robust, interconnected ecosystem. Standardized cross-application processes and automated workflows became the norm. Real-time business activity monitoring provided unprecedented visibility. “The Magic Integration Platform facilitates interoperability in record time,” said Neil Store, Director of IT Systems. Today, Creed’s operations flow as smoothly as their legendary fragrances, ensuring that their heritage and innovation coexist seamlessly.
King Jouet: Toys, Tech, and Transformation

Magic Integration Platform stepped in to unify King Jouet’s operations. Centralized data communication and real-time updates revolutionized their processes. Productivity soared, collaboration across the organization improved, and the company gained better control over stock and delivery timelines.
