Pantaloons: ERP in Retail

The Solution Some of the qualities of SAP retail solutions are that it

supports product development, which includes ideation, trend analysis, and collaboration with partners in the supply chain; sourcing and procurement, which involves working with manufacturers to fulfill orders according to strategic merchandising plans and optimize cost, quality, and speed–variables that must be weighted differently as business needs, buying plans, and market demand patterns change; managing the supply chain, which involves handling the logistics of moving finished goods from the source into stores and overseeing global trade and procurement requirements; selling goods across a variety of channels to customers, which requires marketing and brand management; managing mark-downs and capturing customer reactions, analyzing data, and using it to optimize the next phase of the design process

SAP implementation is not a single phase process. The project was divided into three phases.

• FIRST PHASE: The first phase involved blueprinting existing processes

and mapping them to the desired state. In this phase, the entire project team worked on current processes within the structure of the organization, analyzed and drafted them. This blueprint was later used in the formation of new states of the solution. Since the SAP would combine all the processes, each and every one of these had to be evaluated.

• SECOND PHASE: In the second phase, the SAP platform was developed with

the help of Nova soft’s template which was predefined by SAP after evaluation of Pantaloon’s needs and expertise in retail solutions.

• THIRD PHASE: The last phase in this project was for stores to switch over

to the new system and for current data to be ported. Before the SAP implementation, all the data was unorganized. This data had to be migrated to the new SAP application.
