Furniture retailer Poco relies on KPS

Furniture retailer Poco converted its accounting system to SAP in eight months, thus laying the foundation for its internationalization. The successful conversion was made possible by the transformation experts at KPS, who worked with Poco's specialists to implement the new SAP accounting system and convert all companies at the same time. With its existing industry solution, Poco was no longer able to keep up with the move into international markets. It was particularly challenging to connect the SAP accounting system S/4 Hana Finance to the existing systems relevant to the industry, such as the furniture management system from Ametras and the Proxess archiving system. In addition, since the accounting system accesses both brick-and-mortar retail and online stores, the systems had to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The solution has also succeeded in simplifying processes and lifting accounting together with controlling onto a common data basis.
