The Need of an Intelligent ERP System
Stability and flexibility
A digital core is an IT architecture that offers stability and
long-term reliability for core enterprise processes, yet
also provides the flexibility to adapt quickly to new
opportunities, challenges, and regulations. This solid
foundation gives you a single source of truth with tailored
real-time views delivering customer and business
insights and enables flexibility for innovation to
accommodate new business models, new regulations,
and business events, such as mergers or acquisitions.
Immediate response
The ability to respond quickly is an essential part of
managing a retail company. To do this, simulation,
prediction, and analytical capabilities are important
components. Data is critical for gaining the insight to
make decisions. This insight must be at a granular level,
so that decision-makers have the detail they need to
understand trends, opportunities, and risks and quickly
carry out what-if analysis using predictive algorithms.
“SAP S/4HANA affords a unique
opportunity – it is a great
paradigm-busting opportunity
for us to completely rethink
experiences, processes, and
the way we work.”
Dave Carlisle, HPE IT CTO,
Hewlett Packard Enterprise
Company (HPE)
Embedded intelligence
Innovative retailers leverage new technologies to support
their digital transformation strategies and respond
effectively to both encroaching competitors and new
demands of the digitally empowered customer. Improved
processing power is making machine learning applicable
in more and more retail areas, enabling further
optimization and automation of business processes as
well as more impactful, personalized, and contextual
consumer experiences.
Integrated and connected to the outside world
To take advantage of new opportunities and better meet
individual needs, retailers must address end-to-end
(E2E) processes across departments and lines of
business to deliver on new customer experiences,
products, and services. The Internet of Things (IoT) lets
them connect to the outside world, driving unprecedented
efficiency and optimization as well as new levels of
customer connectivity and new retail business models.
Jacques’ Wein-Depot
• 360-degree view of the
customer across multiple touch
points anticipated
• 100% integration between
systems
• Complete digital
transformation of the enterprise in
the coming years
“Our ultimate goal is to be able to
integrate data from all touch points to
get a 360-degree view of the customer,
which will enable us to deliver the very
best service.”
Dirk Bungarz, General Manager,
Accounting/HR/IT, Jacques’ Wein-Depot
Support “Next Practices” with Intelligent Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
Radical change in the retail industry is occurring at a rapid pace. Changes in technologies, in business models, and in
standards and with the ever-evolving customers require constant adaptation. Retail companies must be able to
respond to rapidly changing conditions and offer targeted customer engagement at scale. How does a digital core
with a true single source of truth help?
Enhance and Extend Next-Generation Processes with Intelligent ERP
Bringing SAP S/4HANA® and the SAP® Leonardo technologies together as a digital core results in a more flexible and
intelligent enterprise. To achieve next-generation business processes, retailers need an intelligent ERP solution that can
be continuously enhanced and extended with innovative business services and applications built on emerging
technologies, including machine learning, block chain, and IoT. Intelligent ERP is immediate – empowering business
users with insights to act in the moment; it is intelligent – going beyond automation to predictive suggestion; and it
is integrated – not only between your departments, but for consumers and suppliers alike.

willingness to be flexible when needed.
The project team has proven they are
up to the task.”

SAP Strategy
Strategic Priorities in a Digital Economy
The digital economy is disruptive. Retailers need strategic priorities that drive transformation. SAP supports a reimagined set of end-to-end business scenarios to
support the strategic priorities of serving the digital consumer of today. These are some examples:
Customer centricity
New technology allows retailers to detect, predict, and anticipate unspoken needs. Understanding the profitability impact from start to finish – down to the
single article, and through integration of all process areas – is key to providing the right experience all the way from awareness, to the shopping journey,
delivery, and postpurchase engagement.
End-to-end scenario: Customer-centric assortment planning – Sell the products your consumers want
Digital supply chains
Connecting the end-to-end supply chain from suppliers to consumers’ homes allows retailers to drive efficiency in material flows, better demand and
supply matching, and faster response, offering new opportunities for automated replenishment and new convenient delivery options.
End-to-end scenario: Connected supply chain – Reduce delays and provide superior customer value
Smart store
Virtual reality, the use of digital technology to create immersive simulations, and augmented reality, which let users interact with digital content that is
overlaid on real-world content, allow retailers to create new and differentiating shopping experiences. Customer identification, smart fitting, endless
aisles, gamification – the opportunities are endless – help drive loyalty as well as new revenue opportunities.
End-to-end scenario: Revitalize the store – Deliver brand-building store experiences
Service to the segment of one
The ability to capture and anticipate customer needs in the moment is key to giving customers exactly what they want, when they want it. Sensors
monitor use, consumption, wear, and freshness, alerting consumers to replace, replenish, or repair, thus creating demand that can be met just in time
with the right corresponding personalized offer. Machine learning will drive more-impactful, personalized, and contextual consumer experiences.
End-to-end scenario: Connect to your customer’s lifestyle – Enable immersive customer experiences
Monetizing new customer offers
A superior understanding of customer needs is now possible by leveraging data and predictive analytics, allowing new revenue-generating offers. The
ability to monitor use and consumption with sensors enables new business models, such as subscriptions, pay per use, or outcome-based models.
End-to-end scenario: Ingredient and recipe meal-kit service – Offer personalized meals

Marketing and Merchandising
*Planned innovation
• Volatile market within
fashion and consumer
electronics – any retailer
dealing with highly seasonal
merchandise needs to
manage an increasing
number of products with
rapid changes in the product
lifecycle
• Inefficient, manual processes
for product data maintenance
with no clear data ownership
and little to no transparency
in the process, as well as
high costs through incorrect
master data across the value
chain – impacting not only
the retailer’s bottom line but
also presenting a risk to
consumers if data is not
correctly displayed in all
sales channels
• Inconsistent product prices
and promotion offers, not
distributed properly across all
channels, leading to
dissatisfied customers
• Master data management
and retail transactions
provided little support for
season handling or decision-
making to steer merchandise
flows accordingly in order
to procure and deliver goods
on time
• Master data management for
retail products differed from
master data management of
other industries in terms of
data models and tables, and
maintenance of product data
was complex and not
intuitive
• Decentralized maintenance
of sales prices and
promotional prices in
marketing for online
channels and category
management or
merchandising for the brick-
and-mortar store resulted in
high efforts for distribution
across systems and
consolidation
• New seasonality concepts as
a main driver for product
processes along its complete
lifecycle, from master data
creation to procurement and
sales, price calculation, and
stock management
• On-top distribution curves
helping merchandisers come
up with the right mix of sizes
• SAP Fiori® apps providing a
single friendly interface for
the creation and
maintenance of retail
products and standard
materials
• Tight integration into the SAP
Commerce Cloud solution for
displaying product data to
the consumer
• Centralized storage of pricing
and promotion offers, with
services for retrieval and
calculation to achieve
consistent values in all
channels
• Strong integration with SAP
C/4HANA and execution
based on SAP S/4HANA
• Enhanced customer
experience with
personalization to the
segment of one
• Contextualized marketing
capabilities offering touch
points that serve customers
in what they need
independently and on
location
• Social listening and
predictive insights enabling
smart decision-making
• Machine-learning algorithms
enriching and completing
master data from data pools
and supporting the customer
experience
• Cloud-based service for
consistent calculation of
consumer sales prices and
promotion offers in a
shopping basket across all
channels*
• Increased revenue

• Reduction in cost
associated with data
errors
• Increased return on

Procurement and Private Label
• Difficulty in identifying the
best sources of supply, with
data spread across disparate
sources
• Lack of a robust sourcing
execution process, reducing
realized savings
• Poor contract management,
resulting in negotiated
savings leakages and
compliance issues
• Manual processes, extending
transaction cycle times and
inhibiting the ability to take
advantage of opportunities
for discounts

invoices and delayed invoice
updates
• Instead of conducting one
search for contract documents,
changes in search parameters
require users to return from
contract list to search screen
every time
• There is a lack of visibility into or
information about contract
utilization
• Identifying supply source
requires separate searches by
user in purchase information
records (PIR), contracts,
scheduling agreements, and
other records
• There is an inability to get an
aggregated and enriched view of
spend data across multiple
systems
• To identify erroneous invoices, a
user must go back and forth to
change search parameters, and

Omnichannel Customer Experience
• A wild mix of user interfaces
based on different
technologies, using different
navigation schemes,
hampering the user
experience and employee
efficiency, particularly in the
store
• Little to no decision support
for store employees with
regard to where the inventory
is, what placements are the
best, and which products to
keep in the range or not
• Little information on what
shoppers like and need
• Inability of store to act as a
fulfillment location for
omnichannel
• Lack of visibility into
omnichannel inventory and
order fulfilment that results in
slow resolution of order
fulfillment issues, with risk of
delayed delivery
• User interfaces are
transaction-oriented versus
role-oriented and not based
on the user’s work process;
therefore, they are not telling
the users what they need to
do
• Inventory information is kept
at level of location or in
decentralized store
merchandise management
systems, with no real-time
insight into store inventory
• Sales transactions are the
only source of information of
what shoppers want, like, or
need
• Omnichannel fulfillment
scenarios, such as buy online
or pick up in store, are difficult
to support
• Responsible employee has to
check multiple reports to get a
holistic view of all order
process-related issues with
limited to no monitoring
capabilities
• Digital age user interfaces with
role-based launch pads,
empowering employees with
contextual information, insight
to action, collaboration, and
real-time access to information
• Hands-free ERP using
chatbots and voice command
• Integration into IoT and
analytical services for
capturing shopper interaction
during store time and
eliminating friction
• True omnichannel inventory
and product availability
orchestration including using
the store as a fulfillment
location
• Ability to monitor fulfillment
status of all sales orders
across the whole order-to-
cash cycle
• Personalized shopper
engagement through real-time
customer identification and
localization, with smart devices
based on consent and profile
• Individualized product and
offer recommendations
• Clienteling and “endless aisle”
capabilities based on a 360-
degree customer view and
real-time omnichannel
inventory
• Frictionless shopping with fully
automated checkout
• Nutrition and lifestyle advice
based on individual profiles
and machine learning
• Improved insight and visibility
into the physical store
environment for better in-store
replenishment and
management of assets
• Digital receipt in the cloud for
shoppers and consumers*
• Support for subscriptions and
usage-based services
• Improved customer
satisfaction

All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC / 2 18 / 2 18 Overview Strategic Priorities E2E Scenario Deep Dives SAP Solution Portfolio SAP Value Proposition References ǀ ǀ ǀ ǀ ǀ ǀ ǀ SAP Strategy The Need of an Intelligent ERP System Stability and flexibility A digital core is an IT architecture that offers stability and long-term reliability for core enterprise processes, yet also provides the flexibility to adapt quickly to new opportunities, challenges, and regulations. This solid foundation gives you a single source of truth with tailored real-time views delivering customer and business insights and enables flexibility for innovation to accommodate new business models, new regulations, and business events, such as mergers or acquisitions. Immediate response The ability to respond quickly is an essential part of managing a retail company. To do this, simulation, prediction, and analytical capabilities are important components. Data is critical for gaining the insight to make decisions. This insight must be at a granular level, so that decision-makers have the detail they need to understand trends, opportunities, and risks and quickly carry out what-if analysis using predictive algorithms. “SAP S/4HANA affords a unique opportunity – it is a great paradigm-busting opportunity for us to completely rethink experiences, processes, and the way we work.” Dave Carlisle, HPE IT CTO, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (HPE) Embedded intelligence Innovative retailers leverage new technologies to support their digital transformation strategies and respond effectively to both encroaching competitors and new demands of the digitally empowered customer. Improved processing power is making machine learning applicable in more and more retail areas, enabling further optimization and automation of business processes as well as more impactful, personalized, and contextual consumer experiences. Integrated and connected to the outside world To take advantage of new opportunities and better meet individual needs, retailers must address end-to-end (E2E) processes across departments and lines of business to deliver on new customer experiences, products, and services. The Internet of Things (IoT) lets them connect to the outside world, driving unprecedented efficiency and optimization as well as new levels of customer connectivity and new retail business models. Jacques’ Wein-Depot • 360-degree view of the customer across multiple touch points anticipated • 100% integration between systems • Complete digital transformation of the enterprise in the coming years “Our ultimate goal is to be able to integrate data from all touch points to get a 360-degree view of the customer, which will enable us to deliver the very best service.” Dirk Bungarz, General Manager, Accounting/HR/IT, Jacques’ Wein-Depot Support “Next Practices” with Intelligent Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Radical change in the retail industry is occurring at a rapid pace. Changes in technologies, in business models, and in standards and with the ever-evolving customers require constant adaptation. Retail companies must be able to respond to rapidly changing conditions and offer targeted customer engagement at scale. How does a digital core with a true single source of truth help? Enhance and Extend Next-Generation Processes with Intelligent ERP Bringing SAP S/4HANA® and the SAP® Leonardo technologies together as a digital core results in a more flexible and intelligent enterprise. To achieve next-generation business processes, retailers need an intelligent ERP solution that can be continuously enhanced and extended with innovative business services and applications built on emerging technologies, including machine learning, block chain, and IoT. Intelligent ERP is immediate – empowering business users with insights to act in the moment; it is intelligent – going beyond automation to predictive suggestion; and it is integrated – not only between your departments, but for consumers and suppliers alike. Sharjah Cooperative Society • 9 months project duration – from manual task to automation • 5 days annual stocktaking time from 3 weeks • 5 weeks for design and preassembly phases “Project delivery is very efficient, organized, and transparent. There is a willingness to be flexible when needed. The project team has proven they are up to the task.” Jasim Al Abdooli, IT Department Head, Sharjah Cooperative Society

Retailers need strategic priorities that drive transformation. SAP supports a reimagined set of end-to-end business scenarios to support the strategic priorities of serving the digital consumer of today. These are some examples: Customer centricity New technology allows retailers to detect, predict, and anticipate unspoken needs. Understanding the profitability impact from start to finish – down to the single article, and through integration of all process areas – is key to providing the right experience all the way from awareness, to the shopping journey, delivery, and postpurchase engagement. End-to-end scenario: Customer-centric assortment planning – Sell the products your consumers want Digital supply chains Connecting the end-to-end supply chain from suppliers to consumers’ homes allows retailers to drive efficiency in material flows, better demand and supply matching, and faster response, offering new opportunities for automated replenishment and new convenient delivery options. End-to-end scenario: Connected supply chain – Reduce delays and provide superior customer value Smart store Virtual reality, the use of digital technology to create immersive simulations, and augmented reality, which let users interact with digital content that is overlaid on real-world content, allow retailers to create new and differentiating shopping experiences. Customer identification, smart fitting, endless aisles, gamification – the opportunities are endless – help drive loyalty as well as new revenue opportunities. End-to-end scenario: Revitalize the store – Deliver brand-building store experiences Service to the segment of one The ability to capture and anticipate customer needs in the moment is key to giving customers exactly what they want, when they want it. Sensors monitor use, consumption, wear, and freshness, alerting consumers to replace, replenish, or repair, thus creating demand that can be met just in time with the right corresponding personalized offer. Machine learning will drive more-impactful, personalized, and contextual consumer experiences. End-to-end scenario: Connect to your customer’s lifestyle – Enable immersive customer experiences Monetizing new customer offers A superior understanding of customer needs is now possible by leveraging data and predictive analytics, allowing new revenue-generating offers. The ability to monitor use and consumption with sensors enables new business models, such as subscriptions, pay per use, or outcome-based models. End-to-end scenario: Ingredient and recipe meal-kit service – Offer personalized meals
