FatFace migrated from a highly customised JDA version to a standard configuration during transition to a new national distribution centre. Socius24 managed the upgrade, dual-site operations, e-commerce pack-and-ship configuration, and process standardisation under tight time and budget constraints. The project supported six seasonal lines, next-day e-commerce fulfilment, and zero disruption to store or customer deliveries.
