1The Challenge

A fast-growing national retailer was constrained by a heavily customized, 15-year-old legacy ERP system. Inventory counts were constantly out of sync across their 80+ stores, financial reporting took three weeks to close, and they needed to modernize without disrupting daily store operations.

2Our Solution

  • Conducted a rapid blueprinting phase to map core business processes to standard SAP best practices, minimizing custom code.
  • Executed a phased SAP S/4HANA implementation, starting with Finance and Logistics.
  • Developed custom FIORI applications for store managers to handle inventory receiving on mobile devices.
  • Utilized a parallel-run cutover strategy to ensure zero disruption to live store transactions.
