Arcadia gets systems makeover with Infor  

Arcadia has selected the Infor CloudSuite Financials & Supply Management solution. As part of a programme to modernise its finance systems, the tech is anticipated to go live for 25,000 users in 2018.

Having previously used a number of systems across the group, Arcadia, which owns Topshop and Topman, required a finance system which would consolidate processes from all business units to facilitate greater visibility, efficiency and more insightful, quicker reporting. Following a tender process, the company selected Infor CloudSuite Financials & Supply Management based on the depth of functionality and ease of use. The low total cost of ownership (TCO), flexibility, dynamism and scale associated with a cloud model were also key to the decision.  

“As we continue to evolve as a business, it is paramount that our systems keep pace. Through our deployment of Infor CloudSuite Financials we anticipate significant time savings, reductions in errors and superior insights which will give us greater agility. This will help to propel our business expansion, as well as give us much slicker, more flexible reporting which is crucial in the fast-paced retail industry,” comments Ian Grabiner, CEO, Arcadia.  “Our relationship with the team at Infor was key to our selection, as it is crucial that we work with companies which truly understand the complex demands of fashion retail.”
