IBA Group Assisted an Enterprise Retail Company, Nikora Trade, in the SAP S/4HANA Enhancements Implementation
IBA Group successfully completed several projects integrating external IT solutions with the SAP S/4HANA for Retail system for Nikora Trade. As a result, one of the leading retailers in Georgia significantly improved and modernized its core business processes in merchandising, inventory management, and assortment planning.
The IBA Group team was tasked with integrating SAP S/4HANA with a planogram management system to enable the automatic transfer of sales and product movement data. It’s a critical process in retail, allowing managers to better analyze the necessary KPIs, create more accurate sales plans, and consequently increase profitability.
Additionally, the team was also in charge of the Warehouse Management System integration using SAP capabilities and secure data exchange technologies. It ensured end-to-end automation of warehouse processes, including expiration date control, which improved inventory accuracy, processing speed, and transparency of operations in real time.
The work carried out was of high quality, within the agreed timeframes, and with consideration for the specific business processes of our retail network. We highly value IBA Group’s expertise in SAP solutions, their attentiveness to customer requirements, and their willingness to jointly find optimal solutions.
Thanks to the implementation of these enhancements, Nikora Trade was able to improve the transparency of its goods flow management, ensure daily automatic exchange of up-to-date data between systems, reduce the amount of manual operations, and minimize errors.
We are happy to support Nikora Trade in implementing these projects. They will make one of the largest Georgian companies even more technologically advanced and modern. I hope this successful implementation becomes the foundation of our long-term cooperation.
It’s also important to note the level of emotional comfort that was present during the project. This was largely due to the high level of project management organization and the engagement of both parties. We look forward to continuing our successful cooperation, including developing integration processes and further supporting the implemented solutions.
