Stibo Systems: Multi-Domain MDM for Retail and Manufacturing
Apptad's Stibo Systems practice runs end-to-end STEP programs for retailers, CPG brands, and discrete manufacturers — multi-domain MDM where product, supplier, customer, and location data have to stay in sync. We design the data model, build the workflows, integrate STEP with the wider stack (SAP, Salesforce, Snowflake, retailer portals), and run it long-term as a managed service.
