Discover how SAP S/4HANA Cloud and Business Technology Platform (BTP) brings systems and processes together to deliver differentiated experiences and greater operational efficiencies.

Looking into the future of the retail market

Retailers face a challenging environment with global risks on the rise.  In response, retailers of all sizes are prioritizing sales growth and operational efficiency. They're also looking for ways to reduce risk and develop new ideas.  Sustainability is becoming increasingly important from both environmental and profitability viewpoints and will be a key part of their overall strategies in the years to come.

To be successful in this changing market, retailers need to transform their businesses, leveraging technology that will enable them to adapt and scale with the market. This transformation is essential for good performance and happy customers.  Leaders need to improve their business processes and systems to be more interconnected and adaptable.

By using a clean-core approach to business systems, a retailers ERP system is the central point (single source of truth) that can be extended seamlessly with SAP products and services as well as through integrations to various technologies from different vendors. SAP’s cloud ERP, clean-core approach, supported by SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), provides growth-focused retailers the agility they need to meet new customer demands and respond to future market changes, even unforeseen ones.

Technology Essentials for Key Decision Makers

COOs face the pressure to implement state-of-the-art processes and advanced technologies for digital transformation. These include applying IoT for warehouse operations, and improving inventory optimization, quality, and delivery. COOs need a comprehensive platform upon which to develop and deploy connected software solutions and services, as well as improve the integration between IT/OT.

 CEOs need to ensure their company is agile enough to execute rapidly on key decisions – this impacts every aspect of the organization, people, processes, practices, partners, and solutions. The CEO will continually need to balance innovation with cost, risk, and investment.

 CIOs are at the heart of the required digital transformation and are required to move from old, unsustainable, insecure systems or their start-up platforms, to fit-to-standard-based solutions that will help their organization rapidly adapt to changing business models and readily navigate a turbulent external environment.

 VP of Supply Chain must become a more strategic partner to the business, moving from price-centricity to viewing and managing the complete supply chain, by improving visibility and applying best practices all while supporting the enterprise's changing sales channels.
