ECCO Implements Analytics Solution in 119 Stores
ECCO has deployed Manthan Systems' ARC Merchandise Analytics in 119 stores across Europe. The footwear retailer and wholesaler has implemented the business intelligence suite to streamline decision-making and enhance operational efficiency.
"With ARC's robust decision support and good analytics, we are convinced we will benefit as a business," says Michel Krol, managing director of ECCO Europe, Middle East and Africa. "We have been looking to get a unified and central business intelligence enabling us to conduct needed and specific analysis across sales, merchandising and inventory, and we believe ARC will provide our business with the solution."
With over 4,000 branded sales locations in over 90 countries ECCO is one of only a few major retailers to own and manage every step of the production process, so it requires a strong technology backbone to support it. Manthan Systems' ARC suite provides the complete range of role-based analytics and performance management capabilities across all business processes within a retail organization.
ARC Merchandise Analytics centralizes data and introduces a structured, unified and consistent approach into the retailer's decision making. ARC offers multi-currency reporting, inventory-specific reporting, unique merchandise hierarchy, merchandise calendar, financial calendar, financial budgets at store level and the ability to track goods in transit between stores as well as between distribution centers and market.
