The story
In 2016, three major players in Italian retail merged thus giving life to a large-scale distribution giant. The group has grown rapidly and today operates in Europe, North America, the Middle and Far East, in over 18 countries, with headquarters in Italy, a subsidiary in the United States and a network of agents operating in various countries in the Middle/Far East and Australia Competitive prices and great attention to quality are the cornerstone of their strategy and their success Choosing them as a partner means having access to the most large selection of authentic Italian products on the market They also have a network of more than 500 producers qualified according to the strictest rules and regulations in the preparation of products
The Challenge
At the time of the merger, these three large companies had different information systems which therefore needed harmonization in order to be able to provide users and consumers with uniform interfaces and tools. In addition to this, the group also required integration into a single software of the legacy systems in use, with particular attention to the processes of active invoicing and passive invoicing control Being an important Italian company for large-scale retail trade, it also required a centralized order management system for internal users, for customers and suppliers of the entire Italian distribution network
The solution
In addition to accounting and finance, the functions of the logistics and warehouse module have been implemented, extended to new and more performing procedures, tailor-made according to customer specifications. We have expanded the item master data with new tabs typical of the sector and related to both non-food and non-food items The application also manages the fresh product and frozen product from the estimate to the collection Thanks to our intervention it is now possible to analyze the performance of the individual departments along the entire Supply Chain through KPIs and DASHBORDS multilevel (desktop and mobile) that allow the user to analyze the data in a more or less aggregated way
