Schuitema NV, is a Dutch holding group which owns the country’s leading and fastest growing chain of independent supermarket retailers - C1000.

The company is responsible for providing its retailers with a wide range of products, services, and expertise, including the delivery of goods, promotional initiatives, human resources and salary administration, financing support and store remodeling.
Schuitema is using Project Phoenix from Jumar Solutions to transition its main in-store retail application to a modern, componentised, client-server architecture.  The Project Phoenix software is enabling Schuitema to achieve this new architecture in a highly automated and structured fashion. The re-architected Gen™ application will deliver better integration, improved maintenance and, most importantly, allow Schuitema to move to centralised and web-enabled services. This will both reduce costs and allow Schuitema to provide future proofed applications to its franchise holders.

During the course of the project Jumar supplied Schuitema with 'out of the box' productivity-enhancement software and tailored Project Phoenix automated re-factoring software, together with coaching, project management and project execution services in the Netherlands.

The initial analysis and re-architecting pilot phases of the project have been successfully completed, resulting in an automated and efficient transition process which is currently being applied to approx. Gen models with Schuitema which make up the retail application. Over 4,000 blocks of code are being transformed to meet the new architecture – a task which would not have been cost or time effective without the automation and accuracy delivered by the Project Phoenix software.  The project is forecast to be delivered on time and within budget in 2007.
