Within a very short time we have all 5 chains represented in the promotion planning apps.
So we are doing great, thanks to a well-built solution by retailsolutions and good testing by our end-users.

The introduction of PMR promotions and planning tools has optimised our promotional functions in the Support Centre and our stores. We have gained many efficiencies and are already coming up with new ways to potentially add to these functions to enhance other areas of our promotional activities. Vendors are excited to use the new portal functionality and are enjoying the immediate visibility this provides them to assist with funding allocation and forecasting of upcoming promotional activity.

Delivering the migration from classic PMR to the new PMR on CAR has significantly improved the solution integrity for our Promotions business which has given us a future-proof platform that enables future strategic initiatives. Working with such a strong collaborative approach with the Axfood teams, retailsolutions were able to challenge our existing customisations, duplication and complexity, and deliver a far more simplified, efficient and time saving solution, on time and within budget.

The relationship we have built with retailsolutions and the expertise they provide, has been fundamental to the success of this project and hopefully many more to come.

Head of Department Price & Assortment at Axfood IT

retailsolutions had a fantastic team, from architects to projects leads, business analysts and developers. Not only do they know the solutions they work with so well, but they know the industry. It's this understanding of the industry and its processes that is crucial when designing new solutions.

The PMR project was a real pleasure to be part of.

retailsolutions really took their time to understand the business process, which means they also suggested changes in the system that would make the business process itself more efficient.

I think that was an important part of this successful implementation.

Business Retail Process Specialist

By upgrading PMR to the CAR platform, we now have a future-proof solution to continue to build our promotion process on. retailsolutions, as usual, delivered a well-executed project and helped us with a solution that worked smoothly from day one.

Nina Krantz,

Business Process Owner

Spending quite some time on the design workshops really paid off. We have a great solution that not only saves time for the business, but also results in less errors, meaning less work for all, greater confidence in the solution and therefore more happy end users.

There are many factors to why this project went live so successfully, but the team collaboration between retailsolutions and Axfood business and internal IT was certainly a key factor.

We went for a ‘big bang’ go live, which is not the usual Axfood way to do things, but what a remarkable go-live we had! Amazing cutover planning and great teamwork lead to a seamless go live, leaving the team set up to handle the initial production defects with nothing to do!

We are pleased with the quality and speed of ongoing support provided by the retailsolutions team and the benefits of having a consistent partner bring to the overall experience of deploying a complex project like PMR.

From an Axfood perspective, it has been a great experience working with retailsolutions. The team has really done an excellent job and I think we would not have had such a successful result without their knowledge and skills on SAP PMR, retail and promotions.
