Immersive Journey

Retailers grappling with complex back-end/front-end integrations, inefficient incident handling, and limited support availability face major risks, hindering their ability to respond swiftly to market demands. Without 24×7 support for administrative functions and system monitoring, retail operations are vulnerable to downtime, impacting store productivity and profitability. Inadequate scalability in processes adds to this, further constraining growth potential, limiting adaptation to market dynamics, and the ability to capitalize on more opportunities.

Given today’s digitally adept retail landscape, seamless integration of SAP systems, efficient operational management, and driving human-centric experiences are essential in maintaining agility and meeting consumer expectations.

Our client required end-to-end AMS support for their retail operations, with SAP S/4HANA managing all core modules, including SAP Commerce and MS D365 POS systems. The client faced gaps in their IT service management and business continuity capabilities, including monitoring to maintain operational availability and system health. Additionally, our client sought expertise in implementing new business consulting processes and an improved support process utilizing advanced ticketing tools.

Bosch SDS in action

To enable the client in driving #SmarterDigital outcomes, we implemented SAP IS-Retail and S/4HANA to support their existing core modules in SAP Commerce and MS D365 POS systems – further integrating with AIMIA interface systems for managing non-standard materials, synchronizing sales and operational processes across both online and offline channels. We also ensured round-the-clock support for BASIS and system monitoring and implemented SAP BusinessObjects management reports to yield actionable insights into various aspects of retail operations, such as business finance functions, inventory control, sales performance, and more.

Finally, several key initiatives were undertaken in implementing new business consulting processes:

Leveraged interactive voice response (IVR) across malls to streamline customer inquiries, reservations and event scheduling, improving operational efficiency and customer service responsiveness.
Enabled advanced support for master data management, automation of vendor process for quotation submission, and automated generation of purchase order proposals based on optimal quantities of products to order from suppliers.
Developed a mobile application enabling consumers to browse products, make purchases, receive personalized offers, and track orders conveniently.

Shaping timeless impact

With our consulting-led approach, we not only helped streamline operations and improve consumer interactions but also empowered our client with the flexibility and responsiveness needed to achieve sustainable growth and enhance the overall value proposition for consumers.
