SAP for Retail Industry

Our procurement solution automates the load building process, allowing for efficient purchase order creation and release based on vendor tolerances, weight, and amounts. It provides quick access to recommended orders, leveraging historical sales data, forecasts, and store orders. Purchase orders are seamlessly transmitted to transportation, warehouse, EDI, and finance systems via integrated interfaces.  

The Diverter Management solution supports manual evaluations and selections for baseline purchase orders outside the regular process. A Fiori application automates background selections based on forecast data, days of supply, and inventory levels. Buyers can place orders from multiple vendors, select deal prices, and override price and quantity, while the system automates load building and tolerance warnings.

Our retail pricing solution enables retailers to manage promotions and transmit pricing updates to POS systems, covering various discount types such as bonus points, fixed value, and manufacturer coupons. SAP-generated coupons are used to monitor promotional prices, with Fiori applications to manage pricing and overlaps. Additionally, SmartIQ leverages AI/ML for intelligent pricing optimisation.

The Scales Management Application is used for weighing and labelling materials in stores. It integrates with SAP to exchange information, sending scale-related data via batch processing. The system generates interface files for relevant item information, ensuring efficient and accurate labelling and weight management.

Our Tags Management solution includes a Fiori application to maintain and transmit tag information to stores. It supports printing long and short tags for DSD and non-DSD materials, as well as requests for tags related to damaged goods, marketing, promotions, and other needs, with batch processing for efficient tag handling.

The store ordering process supports replenishment through both pull and push methods. Store requirements are sent via handheld devices, converted into STOs in SAP using the allocation process. The Fiori application aids in manual allocation, rush orders, and substitution processes, while also automating profit centre determination for departments.

Our custom Fiori app streamlines the store returns process by enabling users to upload pallet and tote counts via spreadsheet. This reduces manual data entry errors and improves inventory tracking efficiency. The solution also optimises the credit posting process, reducing delays and enhancing overall processing speed.

Abosft and Applexus integrate cross-docking functionality into SAP, eliminating inefficiencies and delays caused by third-party systems. The solution facilitates direct goods handling from the distribution centre to stores, streamlining logistics and improving supply chain efficiency.
