About Scotts Miracle-Gro:
The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company is a major U.S. consumer lawn and garden company best known for its lawn care, gardening, and pest control products used by homeowners across North America. Their portfolio includes widely recognized brands such as Scotts, Miracle-Gro, and Ortho, and their products are distributed through major retail and home improvement channels. The company operates at large scale across both consumer and professional markets, with a strong focus on lawn health, plant care, and outdoor maintenance solutions.
About the project:
Scotts Miracle-Gro handles a variety of chemicals and, as a result, is required to maintain Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for each product. These sheets were available in their legacy SAP system but needed to be made publicly accessible in order to satisfy regulatory requirements. We integrated directly with SAP to retrieve the files and their associated metadata, and built a public website that allows users to search the catalog of MSDS documents.
In order to get the data out of the SAP system, we worked with our contacts at Scotts to set up a batch export and synchronization routine to ensure that the system we were building always had the most up-to-date files. This gave us more control over search functionality and allowed us to more efficiently serve documents externally.
Finally, as a public-facing website, there was a significant amount of scrutiny required to ensure Scotts was comfortable with the security and reliability of the system. Once those requirements were met, we went live with the website.
We were excited to be part of a safety-related project. Making these files publicly available is important for a number of reasons, and we're glad we could contribute to that effort.
