SAP AG, the world's leading provider of business software solutions, has announced that Kenneth Cole Productions Inc, a leading designer of apparel, shoes and accessories, will implement SAP® software to support its growth strategy and integrate its global sourcing, retail and wholesale operations.
SAP for Retail, SAP Apparel and Footwear (AFS) and SAP Triversity point-of-sale (POS) solutions will provide Kenneth Cole Productions with an integrated, end-to-end view of its multiple businesses.
The announcement was made at the National Retail Federation (NRF) Conference, being held in New York, January 15-17.
The SAP solutions comprise the seamless and best-in-class foundation that will enable Kenneth Cole Productions to increase sales, streamline and optimize its operations and improve customer service. The solutions are designed to coordinate across all aspects of the business, including product development, merchandising, customer relationship management, supply chain and inventory management, store operations and labor optimization as well as financial reporting.
Kenneth Cole Productions will adopt the SAP NetWeaver® platform as the foundation of its system. This base will provide greater process agility and system flexibility, replacing various disparate legacy systems.
Kenneth Cole Productions expects to obtain quicker and better visibility to data across its 85 retail stores and outlets, catalog and Web operations, and to improve its wholesale systems as a supplier to thousands of department and specialty stores worldwide.
