SAP SE has announced the pre-assembled version of the SAP HANA Customer Activity Repository rapid-deployment solution to simplify the implementation of this multichannel data application in the cloud. The solution helps retailers to merge relevant customer and inventory data that previously were spread over multiple siloed applications supporting the shift from product to customer-centric enterprise.
“By providing best practices-based implementation content and proven risk-reducing implementation methodologies, we support retailers to achieve their IT and business goals faster and simpler with the SAP HANA Customer Activity Repository rapid-deployment solution,” said Elvira Wallis, Senior Vice- President, Solution and Knowledge Packaging, SAP. “Connected customers are redefining shopping through online channels, mobile technology, and social networks and SAP is able to provide businesses the platform to help ensure easy and fast implementation to analyze customer’s data, helping minimize disruption to the business and driving innovation.”
The application provides high-speed predictive analytics, delivering a single calculation of customer demand across all channels and helps to gain real-time visibility and analytic data through in-memory technology. The point-of-sale (POS) data transfer and audit enables customers to transfer and audit all of their POS data quickly and efficiently.
The solution helps retailers by providing invaluable insights to pinpoint assortment, promotion and pricing decisions, and helps ensure inventory availability and gain a complete view of customer’s data. It provides a unified view of the customer, helping retailers to drive consistent experiences across all channels and improve business efficiencies, profitability and brand perception.
