Successful Go-Live of ERP 6.0 SAP for Retail at Ernsting’s family with Implementation by IDS Scheer
Integrated processes from corporate planning through to individual stores
Saarbrücken, April 1, 2010
Based in North Rhine-Westphalia, fashion specialist Ernsting’s family has implemented ERP 6.0 SAP for Retail with the aid of IDS Scheer to fully integrate its planning processes into the procurement and merchandise management process. The innovative chain store operator deploys products, such as SAP MAP, purchasing lists, markdown management, POS DM, and central PI/XI to maintain a competitive edge. The processes were modeled using ARIS.
Ernsting's family GmbH & Co. KG has more than 1,470 stores and is growing at a rate of around 80 outlets a year. To ensure that the product offering is continuously optimized and tailored to customer requirements, Hans-Dieter Ernst, managing director of the Ernsting´s family holding company (EHG Service), is driving forward process integration, innovation, and transparency, along with embracing new technologies.
Efficient processes begin at the planning stage with the definition of KPIs for planning processes, such as expansion planning, store planning, capacity planning, and sales planning. Ernsting´s family opted for integrated planning in SAP BI. At the same time, planning processes were extensively redesigned to enable integration into logistics processes, such as procurement (detailed range planning in the purchasing list, ordering), merchandise management, and markdown management. Technical integration of non-SAP systems at Ernsting´s family (e.g., POS software, online store) was performed via the PI/XI integration platform.
“With its industry reference processes, process modeling in ARIS, and integration with SAP Solution Manager, IDS Scheer was able to offer a comprehensive methodology. The Business Process Management framework that we established with the help of IDS Scheer’s consultants has boosted transparency within the organization. Thanks to the new processes, Ernsting’s family can adapt more efficiently to market changes and safeguard its competitive edge,” says Hans-Dieter Ernst, managing director of the Ernsting´s family holding company (EHG Service).
“Ernsting’s family entrusted us with a major project that highlights the importance of process management to this customer. The project comprised an extensive, integrated solution based on SAP Retail that ranged from planning and procurement right through to the store level. A fully process-oriented methodology based on Retail.PerformanceREADY plus one-stop service are delivering measurable customer benefits and supporting continuous performance improvement,” says Josef Bommersbach, member of the IDS Scheer Executive Board.
