    Pantaloon retail is a large Indian retailer with over 450 stores across 40 cities. It implemented SAP software across its operations to help manage its supply chain, product development, sales and customer data analysis. The implementation took around 6 months and cost $10 million, with the key challenges being migrating large amounts of non-standardized data to the new SAP system and transitioning stores to the new platform. While short term benefits were not realized, SAP is expected to provide long term improvements to Pantaloon's performance analytics and business processes.

    5 million square feet of retail space, has over 450 stores
    across 40 cities in India and employs over 18,000
    people.

     Pantaloon was regularly opening stores in the metros,
    to run its business efficiently it aimed at a robust
    transaction management system and an enterprise
    wide platform to run the operations
     After a comprehensive evaluation of different options
    and software companies, the management at
    Pantaloon decided to go in for SAP.
     Implemented by : SAP Team with the help of Novasoft,
    Singapore, currently being used by around 1,200
    employees,Cost of implementation : About $10 million
     SAP retail solutions supported product development,
    which includes ideation, trend analysis, and
    collaboration with partners in the supply chain;
    sourcing and procurement, optimising cost, quality
    and speed variables.
     Managing supply chain, which involves handling the
    logistics of moving finished goods from the source into
    stores .
     selling goods across a variety of channels to
    customers, which requires marketing and brand
    management; managing mark-downs and capturing
    customer reactions, analysing data.
     The key challenges in this project were faced during
    data migration and in managing the interim period
    when the project was underway for about six months.
    Migrating unorganized data to an organized format
    was a challenging task .
     Pantaloon has not been able to see immediate benefits
    from this implementation but this application
    certainly has long term benefits which will be seen
    when the performance of various aspects will be
    analyzed.
     SAP implementation was divided into three phases.
    The first phase involved blueprinting existing
    processes . In this phase, the entire project team
    worked on current processes within the structure of
    the organisation, analysed and drafted them.
     In the second phase, the SAP platform was developed
    with the help of Novasoft’s template after evaluation of
    Pantaloon’s needs and expertise in retail solutions.
     The last phase in this project was for stores to switch
    over to the new system and for current data to be
    ported to the new SAP application.
     For maintaining SAP implementation and its related
    applications, Pantaloon has an in-house team and it
    has outsourced ABAP resources. They are also in the
    process of setting up a SAP Competency Centre.

     Future projects - After the successful implementation


    of SAP for its retail chain, Pantaloon plans to go ahead
    with IT projects such as implementation of WMS with
    RFID, Customer Intelligence and CRM. Inventory and
    Promotions Optimization will be pursued later this
    year.
