How SAP ERP Is Transforming the Shopping Experience.pptx
1. How SAP ERP Is Transforming the
Shopping Experience
2. The success of any retail business depends mainly on how efficiently the
processes are managed. Retail companies worldwide are successful because they
have found out the secret to managing their business process and operations
skillfully. However, in this era, when retail businesses are generating huge data
across all of their branches globally, it becomes impossible to manage the
processes manually. This is where SAP comes in.
SAP is the market leader when it comes to ERP software. Established in 1972, it
caters to reputed retail businesses like Walmart, Loblaw Companies Limited, and
Home Depot Canada. But that’s not all! SAP offers a variety of ERP software so
that both large and small companies can afford it – both from a financial and
organizational point of view.
3. SAP For Everyone: Why Should Big Retailers Have All the Fun?
There are many different variants of SAP for the retail industry. Depending
on the scope of management, SAP offers different levels of features.
However, SAP ensures a minimum number of standard features for all its
ERP solutions so that businesses of all shapes and sizes can leverage SAP
ERP and up their retail game.
From a high perspective, SAP offers three variants for its retail customers:
4. 1. SAP S/4 Hana for big retail businesses
SAP offers its flagship ERP for large retailers that
need complex functionalities in their software.
This variant of SAP is known and loved for its
modules that extend the native functionality of
SAP S/4 Hana to further enhance the
productivity of retail businesses. For example, a
retail business that has its own logistics arm
would need to be able to manage the logistics
using the ERP. The Logistics Execution (LE)
module empowers such retail businesses to
manage their logistics comprehensively.
5. 2. SAP Business ByDesign
SAP Business ByDesign is a variant of the SAP ERP
that focuses on pre-configured features. It is
targeted toward mid-sized businesses that might
not have the technological bandwidth to set up a
complex ERP all by themselves. The focus on pre-
configured features makes SAP Business
ByDesign very easy to set up for retail companies.
Most features that a retail company would need
are already there in this ERP by default. Hence
the name – ByDesign.
6. 3. SAP Business One
SAP offers a retail ERP solution for small
businesses as well. With SAP Business
One, SAP targets growth-focused small
retail businesses that want to future-
proof their processes. SAP Business One
solution is an ideal choice for a small-
sized retail business.
