The SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse component will create a consistent database of information, offering Ferragamo complete transparency to enable better business decisions. These implementations will serve as the foundation of an enterprise-wide coherent business strategy for Ferragamo, providing the company with a governance model that can be used to rapidly and seamlessly enter new geographic markets as needed.
The first go-live of the new SAP system successfully took place on schedule in January 2011 at Ferragamo corporate offices in Hong Kong, and will be followed by retail stores in Hong Kong and Macau by the end of June 2011. Operations in Taiwan and in China are scheduled to go live by the end of the year.
"With a global and technology-savvy customer base, international retailers such as Ferragamo are under significant pressure to deliver a quality experience to both in-store and online shoppers," said Agostino Santoni, managing director, SAP Italy.
"Only with real-time global visibility and subsequent alignment of internal operations can they meet these expectations. With the new solutions from SAP - from inventory management to data warehousing - Ferragamo will simply run better, faster and smarter. This successful first implementation in Hong Kong sets the stage for a global rollout, one that will support the Ferragamo brand across new and existing markets."
As market leader in enterprise application software, SAP helps companies of all sizes and industries run better. From back office to boardroom, warehouse to storefront, desktop to mobile device - SAP empowers people and organizations to work together more efficiently and use business insight more effectively to stay ahead of the competition.
