Cape Union Mart boosts merchandise assortment and operations with Oracle Cloud for Retail
South African retailer Cape Union Mart says that it is optimising its financials, fulfilment, store assortments, and inventory with Oracle Cloud for Retail solutions.
“Establishing the core foundation first was critical to our success. By embracing Oracle Cloud technology, we can scale to meet customer demand with a fresh assortment that is accessible wherever our customers choose to shop,” says Grant De Waal-Dubla, Group IT Executive, Cape Union Mart.
“The dynamic collaboration with our business partners is the best it’s ever been. By moving to the cloud, we will focus more on business processes and adoption rather than worrying about performance.”
Cape Union Mart has deployed Oracle Retail Merchandising Cloud Service, Oracle Retail Merchandise Financial Planning Cloud Services, Oracle Retail Assortment Planning Cloud Service, and Oracle Retail Science Cloud Services running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
The brand is also leveraging Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain & Manufacturing (SCM) and Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
And with the continued adoption of the Oracle Retail platform, it will be able to support more accurate forecasts regarding inventory management and merchandise budgeting by streamlining assortments, buying, and allocation processes.
Cape Union Mart will also look to leverage Oracle Retail Data Store Cloud Service on OCI.
With the solutions, planning teams will be able to deliver recommendations on sizes and styles to get the right merchandise in the right locations to meet customer demand.
“Our development team delivered groundbreaking innovation with Retail Data Store. We have liberated the data and science from the service to open up new possibilities for retailers,” says Mike Webster, Senior Vice President, and General Manager at Oracle Retail.
“We are delighted that Cape Union Mart will be one of the first retailers to embrace the next generation technology in our platform for modern retail.”
