The Customer

With multiple brands offering luxury handbags, footwear, and accessories across a global network of stores in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, the customer had developed an extremely complex legacy environment. The order management systems had become completely siloed across brands and geographies, significantly hindering operational efficiency and creating a fragmented view of the business. Given all these challenges, the company sought to modernize its technology infrastructure to fuel future growth and enhance customer experiences.

The Opportunity


Given that multiple OMS platforms were used across different brands and geographies (North America, Europe, and Japan), this led to data inconsistencies and operational inefficiencies in various areas. They also lacked a centralized view of inventory across stores, warehouses, and vendors, which hampered timely and efficient fulfillment and transparency in inventory management. Multiple outdated applications resulted in high maintenance costs, complex integrations, and poor user experience for both customers and employees. Furthermore, it forced customer service teams to use multiple call center applications, and store associates needed to use several applications to manage store operations which led to high productivity losses and increased training costs.
