and retail ManageMent solution

In the dynamic and very competitive world of retail and wholesale, small to mid-sized companies (SMEs) face unique challenges. No matter the size of your business, a successful company requires vision, execution, and a powerful scalable business platform.

To succeed in an increasingly competitive marketplace, retailers must find innovative ways to compete, ways that are not solely based on price. To effectively stay in business and maximise profitability, retailers must accurately manage variables, reduce operational costs, maximise efficiency, ensure top class customer service, and collaborate with suppliers.

Many retailers face a daily struggle to be competitive due to operational inefficiencies, which, for a large part, can be easily rectified. They lack proper technological solutions and find themselves struggling with legacy systems that are incompatible, non-integrated, or in extreme cases, depending on spread sheets to analyse critical operational data. All of these are extremely inefficient and time consuming. Most retailers need an end-to-end integrated business management solution that can provide them with the real-time insight they need to make accurate and informed business decisions. SAP Business One Retail is an end-to-end retail solution that covers everything from point-of-sale (POS), store management and planning to customer relationship management, online shopping, and completely integrated ERP.

The SAP Business One Retail solution is designed to meet the specific needs of small and mid-size retailers and the set-up can range from a single store to a multi-branch or franchised environment. SAP Business One Retail gives management the power at head office to have complete control over data, access and operations at stores. It extends flexibility at the head office to set up and configure the system from a single location to simplify management. SAP Business One Retail provides retailers with a customisable, flexible, scalable and integrated solution that helps overcome inefficiencies, assists in business process optimisation and provides enhanced, timely management information.

Multi-Branch and franchise

SAP Business One Customer Relationship Management (CRM) helps your business optimize and streamline the entire sales process – from tracking leads to managing sales orders and customer data, to administering after-sales support.

Acquiring new customers is important for any business, but maintaining customer relationships is just as crucial. The SAP Business One Retail solution provides retailers with the tools to turn prospects into customers, grow customer profitability and sales, and increase customer satisfaction.

Many retailers try to apply the same formula that worked in the 1 or 2 stores. Interconnecting stores via multiple systems that do not interact with each other can prove expensive, especially considering the investment required for communication and IT infrastructure, as well as license and support fees.

With SAP Business One Retail, all data is centralized - for ease of access from anywhere, anytime.
