> Solutions > attune for retail
Our business is a truly global business, we have to manage a very complex environment. SAP helped us to reduce the complexity of our current infrastructure by providing an integrated and scalable ERP platform. Combined with attune’s deep SAP AFS and fashion experience this enabled us to improve the collaboration with our subsidiaries and also our distribution and retail channels on one single ERP platform. In particular attune’s extension of the SAP AFS platform into a retail solution for wholesale and manufacturing companies that have retail sales channels greatly improved our ROI for SAP. With this initiative attune also helped us to simplify our business processes and to bring consistency and integrity to our company data. With attune we have an experienced and reliable partner along the whole fashion supply chain.

attune for retail

attune’s AFS extension to support vertical business

attune for retail is designed to support established wholesale brand owners who are looking to expand their vertical direct-to-retail operations. With tight integration of centralized business processes and automation of manual tasks, this innovative solution compliments the attune for manufacturers and attune for brands applications — freeing up staff across the enterprise for more customer-centric activities.

attune for retail was built to maximize and augment the power of the SAP Apparel & Footwear (SAP AFS)™ application. Its cost-effective end-to-end process alignment is the result of a unique shared-services architecture for procurement, inventory and distribution: fully controlled in SAP AFS on one platform.

attune for retail eliminates the cost-prohibitive practice of maintaining different data and analysis structures. There is only one ERP system to monitor and support: feeding reliable, streamlined data into SAP BI. Enhancements and updates — related to interfaces, regulations, authorizations, etc. — are also made across the entire unified system.

Within its simplified architecture, attune for retail maintains an impeccable level of data integrity/harmonization. Merchandise assortments can be managed across regions and varying retail business models. Procurement, demand and back-office processes can be aggregated across multiple channels. Requirements related to regulations, modernization and transparency are managed from a central point. Best practices can be leveraged across the enterprise.

With attune for retail, a single ERP system can now integrate financial operations, sourcing/production requirements and business processes across the entire wholesale/retail continuum.

attune for retail provides exceptional visibility and control across all retail distribution channels and company data. This is especially vital when retail is not the company’s core business, and the cost of maintaining two systems is economically unfeasible.
