Industries
A system at the pace of commerce.
The customer buys where they want, when they want, and compares constantly. Behind every omnichannel promise there is a forecast, an inventory, a margin, a product record and a compliant invoice. From store networks to FMCG flows, we put your SAP core at the service of that machinery, from supplier to last mile.
The context
Margins are won in the detail.
Between purchasing-cost inflation, the online price war and more volatile consumers, retailers work on thin margins where every point counts. Yet many chains still make do with systems separated by channel, product master data that diverges between e-commerce and the store, and inventory no one can see in full. The result: empty shelves, warehouse overstock, markdowns endured rather than chosen. The SAP transformation reunifies that chain, data, inventory and prices included, to make every commercial decision faster and better informed.
The stakes
What is at stake behind the customer promise.
Genuinely unified omnichannel
A single inventory visible from every channel, orders orchestrated between warehouses and stores, network management that follows each point of sale, and an availability promise kept everywhere.
Demand forecasting
Anticipating demand by item, store and season, promotions included, at the pace fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) set, so you buy right and replenish at the right moment.
Optimized inventory
Fewer stockouts, less overstock, fewer markdowns: the right stock level in the right place, decided on shared data.
Margins under control
Knowing the actual margin by item, channel and banner, purchasing costs, logistics and markdowns included, so pricing and assortment decisions are made with the full picture.
Reliable product data
A single product master (attributes, prices, media, compliance) feeding every channel without re-entry or divergence.
Electronic invoicing
Getting ahead of e-invoicing obligations: invoices issued and received in the regulatory electronic format, directly from the core system, with no parallel chain to maintain.
The processes involved
From purchase to checkout.
- Product master data
Item creation and governance, merchandise hierarchies, assortment lifecycle: product data as a company asset.
