2. SAP Business One for Retail
Retailers have a number of hurdles to tackle in
today’s business landscape. To maintain and grow
their position within an increasingly competitive
marketplace, retailers must find innovative ways to
remain competitive that are not based solely on
price. To successfully stay in business and ensure
profitability, retailers must effectively manage
business variables, reduce operational costs,
maximise efficiencies, provide excellent customer
service and work together with suppliers. In order
to keep ahead of the competition retailers must
monitor customer buying patterns and accurately
forecast future trends.
Everyday retailers struggle to compete with
optimising operational effectiveness. They lack the
appropriate technology solutions and are managing
with legacy applications that are not compatible
and non-integrated with their business/accounting
applications.
Retailers need an end to end solution, which
provides them with a real time view of their
operations with centralised control and enables
faster, more accurate, more informed decision
making.
SAP Business One for Retail allows you to make
timely decisions that help cut costs, boost sales
and retain customers. The intuitive, easy to use,
point of sale module leaves sales staff free to focus
on making the retail experience more enjoyable for
your customers.
"SAP Business One for Retail is the most
powerful, innovative, efficient and flexible
SME ERP system for Retailers on the market.
It's exceptionally easy to use and is perfect
for a one store operation, with masses of
room for growth into multiple stores.”
Jon Petrie, Managing Director
DS Music.
SAP Business One for Retail is the ideal solution for small to mid sized organisations looking
for a complete end to end business management solution.

effectively due to lack of business
information
Wasting money on maintaining two
POS systems one for retail and one for
wholesale
3. Retail Functionality
Sell
Offline capability- for uninterrupted trading if your network goes down. Customers don't have to wait
and no sales are lost.
Faster transaction times- reduce the time customers spend in queues and risk of walkouts.
Ease of use- frees store staff time to focus on the customer, rather than on the mechanics of
processing a sale. The intuitive workflows mean there are fewer errors and employee satisfaction is
higher.
Visibility of up to date inventory position- empowers staff to quickly locate products in store, in
other branches or in the warehouse.
Profit
Increase revenue- Optimising customer experience and individual recognition results in repeat visits
and customer loyalty. Automating cross sell and up sell opportunities drives up the spend per visit.
Reduce inventory cost- Automating stock levels, ordering and replenishment within and across stores
allows you to control inventory cost without compromising customer choice.
Lower total cost of ownership- The use of common platforms and infrastructure ensures your system
is scalable, cost effective and future proofed. SAP Business One for Retail is straightforward to
configure, manage and use which reduces ongoing IT and training costs.
Decrease shrinkage- Rigorous monitoring and control of cash handling, discounting and returns
minimises losses due to human error and fraud.
Manage
Instant access to sales and inventory data- gives you the most up to date information with which
to make informed and timely decisions that can be implemented as soon as you decide the time is right.
Full data integrity- gives you peace of mind that you are equipped with all the details you need to
make important business decisions.
Multi store inventory control- lets you manage stock levels, replenishment and purchasing across
stores. Tracking buying preferences across stores gives you the ability to identify best performing lines
and keep them in stock so that customers can always find what they want.
Sophisticated promotions and pricing- can be customised by customer segment to reflect value, by
store to boost regional performance, and by product to stimulate demand. Promotions can be monitored
for effectiveness and updated in real time.
