OVERVIEW

What This Means for You

Retailers need to put the right product in the right place at the right price, across stores, online channels and marketplaces, while protecting margins in a competitive market.

SAP S/4HANA for fashion and vertical business and SAP S/4HANA Retail give retailers merchandise management, assortment planning, pricing and promotions, replenishment and store operations, all integrated with finance. POS and e-commerce data flow into S/4HANA, so stock and margins are always current.

S/4HANA can be combined with SAP Customer Experience solutions for commerce and customer engagement.

Webtel delivers S/4HANA using SAP Activate, starting from SAP best practices and industry content. Fit-to-standard workshops show your teams how processes work in the standard system, so changes are limited to what genuinely sets your business apart. That keeps the core clean, makes upgrades easier and shortens the project.

AT A GLANCE

What Makes SAP S/4HANA Different

One data model

Finance and logistics share one source of truth, including the Universal Journal.

Real-time

Reports and planning run on live data instead of overnight batches.

SAP Fiori

Role-based apps that work on desktop, tablet and phone.

Embedded analytics

Insight inside the transactions people already use.

Cloud or on-premise

Public cloud, private cloud or your own data centre.
