Footwear retailer Bata has deployed Oracle Retail’s Merchandise Financial Planning, Assortment Planning and Store Point-of-Service solutions in Latin America and Europe.

“To be successful, we needed to leverage our data and automate processes. Only Oracle has the solutions that met our needs for integrated retail planning, execution and control,” says Massimiliano Gerli, Global Director of Information and Technology, Bata Retail. “We started the project in Chile and Italy, and are progressively expanding across the two regions. We selected experienced and committed partners Oracle Retail, Retail Consult and Veltio to support our journey.”
