SAP Customer Checkout

SAP specialist Uniorg "cashes in" on new Outfitter stores: Previously known as an online specialist for soccer and sports equipment, Outfitter's new business model envisages the opening of nationwide offline stores.

The Frankfurt and Neu Isenburg locations are the first stores alongside the outlet in Mainz-Kastel, which were successfully launched at the end of 2017. Outfitter was looking for a future-proof, cross-business IT solution for the operation of the store tills that would make it easy to connect additional locations and could also be easily integrated into a traditional ERP solution in the future.

"Because of these requirements, we opted for the 'SAP Customer Checkout' (CCO) checkout software, which initially fulfills all short-term requirements as a standalone solution.

The receipt data is collected centrally on the POS server and can be retrieved at any time thanks to the Hana technology used and analyzed using reports"

says André Hornemann, Head of Back End IT at Outfitter.

"The fact that Uniorg has become our SAP service partner for this is due on the one hand to their many years of experience in the sports environment, and on the other hand to their great expertise in the implementation of SAP ERP and merchandise management projects. In our case, that would be SAP Business One in the future."

Within three weeks, all three checkout locations were ready for SAP operation on schedule, just in time for the grand opening event on November 7 in downtown Frankfurt.
