Case Study

Streetwear Brand Implements SAP S/4HANA® Fashion to Enable Exponential Growth

This company became an influential global streetwear brand and revolutionized the market by collaborating with well-known fashion brands. However, legacy systems prevented them from growing like they wanted to.

Objectives

Implement a scalable platform to manage exponential growth.

Implement repeatable and proven processes, automation, and standardization to improve efficiency.

Real Time Visibility

Gain real-time reporting and analytics to optimize inventory management.

Challenges:

To support explosive growth, the company wanted to consolidate multiple legacy systems and adopt a modern, integrated solution.

  • Legacy Systems: The company used multiple systems and Excel-based documents for master data and daily operations. The legacy ERP system couldn’t handle the new company growth.
  • Manual processes: Manual processes in the warehouse and business operations offices were consuming immense manpower.
  • Lack of visibility: As the company expanded, staff found it harder to find necessary data and insights to help them make decisions.
  • Lack of integration: The legacy system was unable to process huge volumes of inbound orders and POS to financials.
  • Inventory Management: Available-to-sell inventory data had to be manually uploaded to e-commerce systems. Free stock data was unavailable.

  • Rizing was the prime solutions integrator for the global SAP rollout of retail, logistics, and finance processes in the US, UK, France, and Japan.
  • The company used Rizing’s preconfigured solution for SAP S/4HANA® Fashion as the proven practice template and project accelerator.
  • Rizing integrated ECOM/OMS and WMS to manage huge order volumes during weekly launches and drops.
  • All of the SAP environments are hosted on a private cloud with safeguards built-in to handle order volume peaks.
