REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Jan. 23,
2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Oracle announced that a
leading provider of sporting goods in Mexico, Grupo Martí has deployed Oracle Retail
technology to make goods available to consumers in stores faster.
As part of their implementation project, Grupo Martí has
implemented Oracle Retail Merchandise operations management suite,
Oracle Retail Store Inventory Management and Oracle Retail
Allocation. With Oracle Retail at the core, Grupo Martí can enhance
inventory control to drive better merchandise decision-making and
improve the experience for consumers, helping ensure the right
products are in the right stores at the right time.
Grupo Martí operates over 200 stores under seven brands
including: Tiendas Martí, Martí Outlet, Martí Digital, Clubes Sport
City, Restaurantes City Café, Emoción Deportiva and Smart Fit. As a
leading sporting goods retailer in Mexico, Grupo Martí's business model is highly
dependent on managing large volumes of inventory. Prior to
deploying Oracle Retail, Grupo Martí was managing merchandise
through their ERP system, but found that it could not scale to meet
the demand of today's omnichannel environment. Grupo Martí started
an evaluation of solutions to support retail business with minimal
operational changes. Grupo Martí selected Oracle Retail for their
ability to deliver an easy to implement solution with breadth,
depth and retail rich business capabilities for a modern, digital
organization. Retail Consult, Oracle PartnerNetwork Platinum level
member, was a key player in the success of the Martí Lombardi
project.
"One of the most important outcomes of the project was
simplifying our business processes with a flexible and powerful tool
– made possible with a seasoned implementation partner. The
combination of Oracle Retail solutions with Retail Consult skills
helped to empower the Martí team and made the project viable," said
Alejandro Oropeza, CIO of Grupo
Martí.
As a result of a successful implementation with Retail Consult
and Oracle Retail, Grupo Martí is experiencing positive impacts in
budget optimization, order tracking, vendor communications, as well
as allocation of products in the right sizes, colors and quantities
to stores. Accelerated purchase process and optimized product
delivery is key: historically it had taken three to four months to
get products into stores and this can now be accomplished in a
matter of weeks. Martí's information is now organized to provide
better visibility to make more informed decisions that impact
operations and inventory.
"Martí immediately noticed positive results, due to more
efficient processes, control, and visibility. Budget optimization,
order tracking, and vendor communications have all improved," said
Manuel Martin, CEO, Grupo Martí. "From day one, we experienced an
accelerated purchasing process to get the right product into our
stores in weeks instead of months."
"The Oracle Retail suite of solutions was a perfect fit for
Grupo Martí because they needed broad, Retail-specific
functionality that could be implemented quickly and integrated with
their existing ERP system. As well, Oracle's technology
platform has rich capabilities that make the integrations easy to
implement and help keep them protected for future upgrades," said
Silvia Gomes, partner, Retail
Consult. "With Oracle, we are confident that we can deliver all
aspects of a client's solution to make them successful."
"Offering the right product, at the right moment, in the right
time is key for driving loyalty. Inventory control is crucial to
offer consistent customer shopping experience and engagement," said
Ray Carlin, Senior Vice President
and General Manager, Oracle Retail. "We are seeing sports retailers
worldwide looking for improving their operations and we are proud
to work with Grupo Martí in Mexico
in this transformational journey."
