Success StoryRecognizing the need to integrate their information in a single, consistent and secure database and ensure information credibility and traceability, Arezzo&Co saw in SAP AFS the opportunity to have an integrated platform that would allow raising the level of corporate governance and adopt the best practices in the company's processes. This project was among the three best SAP projects awarded by ASUG Impact Awards 2015, the largest and most traditional award in the ASUG Brazil community, aiming to highlight the most successful cases in the SAP universe.

ChallengesThe implementation scope contemplated a range of innovative SAP solutions (AFS, EWM for fashion, Vistex, GRC Inbound with grids and POSDM). One of the project's main challenges was to raise awareness throughout the company on the scope of the project, managing expectations and changes to work in an environment integrated to SAP. Some precautions were taken to ensure the project's success, as strictly complying with the methodology and placing in the daily routine some principles to reduce uncertainty and mitigate risks, as simulating solutions from the BBP phase, minimizing new developments, planning several test cycles with a significant number of activities, allocating a team with dedicated and experienced key users, as well as maintaining a strict change management process during all phases of the project.

Considered one of the most challenging projects in its history, always investing in innovation and technology, Arezzo implemented an innovative set of SAP solutions (including ERP with AFS) to replace existing technologies, in order to align the existing infrastructure to AREZZO&CO group's expansion strategy.

FH was chosen as Arezzo&Co's main partner, by offering great experience in implementing quality projects, with over 1,500 SAP projects developed in more than 25 countries. The efficient work methodology, advanced technology and solid knowledge in IT also made a difference in this decision. Looking ahead, one of the main motivations of Arezzo&Co to invest and carry out this project was using a solution with a single and integrated platform to raise their level of governance and adhere to the best market practices. The implementation of SAP AFS at Arezzo&Co by FH enables preparing the company for new and global challenges.

This success story is recognized as the first project with the approved solution EWM for fashion in Latin America.

The Project consolidated SAP as the main technology platform of the company, providing a more robust infrastructure and eliminating possible obstacles for business growth.
