Before the implementation of the new store apps, order management and inventory was challenging, complex and time-consuming. Business processes had to be managed cumbersomely across different systems, portals and apps.

  • Consolidate multiple apps and portals into one single point of entry for all ordering

  • Adopt an entirely new way of working

  • Provide significant amount of relevant information to users at the touch of a button

SAP Fiori- and Neptune software applications

  • Improved store efficiency due to process automation

  • Reduced working capital due to reduction in overstock

  • Reduced wastage leading to increased profits

  • Reduction in complexity

  • Free up time to focus on in-store customer experience

The store apps we deployed together with retailsolutions were received so well that store managers and franchisees have actually called me to tell me how happy they were with them and how much easier it makes their lives.
Usually, they are a bit harder to please.

Thanks to Neptune based store-apps from retailsolutions, we massively simplified inventory management, increased automated replenishment with SAP F&R and reduced costs. Stores now have increased availability, reduced waste and more time to serve customers.
