Engagement scope

One connected operating model.

Aligning planning, order flows, and distribution across brands required decisions about both business processes and the systems that support them.

The work

Make the operating model work across brands and partners.

Growth increased the complexity of supply chain operations.

Multiple brands, new markets, and external distribution partners placed different demands on the ERP landscape. The program needed a workable approach to planning, inventory, order flows, and execution across those boundaries.

02 / Approach

The work included program and solution leadership for SAP S/4HANA and SAP IBP demand planning. It also addressed brand integration, 3PL processes, EDI transactions, and the design decisions needed to coordinate business teams and delivery partners.

03 / Delivery

Translate strategy into implementation decisions.

Work included defining operating scenarios, shaping solution design, coordinating integration and testing, and planning deployment across business and technology teams. The emphasis was on clear ownership and dependable handoffs between systems and partners.
