Harry Kubetz, Senior Vice President of Operations of Kenneth Cole Productions, said, “We look forward to a partnership with SAP and to building systems that can support our growing business and worldwide operations.”

The initial phase of implementation will include SAP's integration services and solutions for retail merchandise management, workforce deployment, financials, business warehouse, POS data management and SAP Triversity POS solutions.

Once completed, the SAP solution will enable Kenneth Cole Productions to expand its presence in the retail and wholesale markets and to manage its brand portfolio to maximize profitability.

Jim McMurray, Senior Vice President, Retail, SAP America Inc, said, “Kenneth Cole needed an integrated business platform capable of supporting a fast growing midmarket retail business that was flexible enough to gradually roll out across the rest of its business, as needed.”

“SAP will provide Kenneth Cole Productions with an end-to-end, open, integrated solution that fits its current and future needs. SAP software will serve as a foundation that supports future opportunities for store openings and worldwide growth,” Jim added.

Kenneth Cole Productions Inc designs, sources, and markets a broad range of footwear, handbags, and accessories under the brand names "Kenneth Cole New York," "Kenneth Cole Reaction," "Unlisted," and "Tribeca," as well as footwear under the licensed trademark "Bongo."

The company has also granted a wide variety of third-party licenses for the production of men's, women's and children's apparel as well as fragrances, timepieces, eyewear, and several other accessory categories.
