Better Procurement Processes
Following the SAP implementation, planning results will be integrated into ORSAY's procurement process. Time is of the essence, as ORSAY's assortment reflects the very latest trends sourced globally. The SAP solution will provide the flexibility for ORSAY to easily manage the challenge of short product lifecycles and long delivery times.

Supply Chain Transparency
ORSAY's supply chains vary considerably from country to country and will be monitored using a tracking and tracing functionality from SAP. The supply chain will be completely integrated through the SAP NetWeaver technology platform, providing the transparency needed for ORSAY to guarantee its customers an extensive merchandise assortment with a wide range of options.

Manage Stock and Strengthen Customer Loyalty
Using SAP Enterprise POS to connect POS transactions and back-office functions, ORSAY will be able to optimize its customer service and increase the productivity of store processes. To enable end-to-end integration, ORSAY will use store merchandise management functionality from SAP to incorporate the POS transactions in its business processes-either online or offline. In addition to the POS transactions, the retail solution will also connect to all store and human resource processes to optimize store staffing.

With the SAP POS Data Management application, ORSAY will have detailed information about customer buying behavior, and can effectively plan and launch promotions in their stores more dynamically. Efficiently managing stock and strengthening customer loyalty requires flexibility in responding to changes; SAP solutions enable ORSAY to monitor the entire lifecycle of its products, respond to changing circumstances and continuously develop new service offerings for the stores to provide to their shoppers.

"Today's retailers are faced with an uncertain economic environment and by customers who are smarter and more demanding than ever before," said Verlin Youd, senior vice president, Global Trading Industries, SAP AG. "Midsize retailers can increase their competitive edge with an affordable, world-class solution from SAP that can be implemented quickly to support future growth. SAP understands the industry challenges and provides retailers of all sizes with solutions that help them become best-run retailers."
