Brown Shoe Supports Growth with New ERP Platform
Brown Shoe Company Inc. chooses SAP to provide its core enterprise resource management platform (ERP) for the organization. The implementation of the SAP solution is expected to support Brown Shoe's growth strategy while streamlining and transforming day-to-day operations for the company's integrated business model.
"The anticipated multi-year implementation of the SAP ERP application is an integral step in Brown Shoe's efforts to create an interconnected business model and leverage our inter-company synergies to better meet the needs of our customers," says Ron Fromm, chairman and CEO of Brown Shoe. "As a proven, scalable operating platform, SAP is expected to be a key enabler toward reaching our strategic goals of becoming the leading fashion footwear marketer."
The company will utilize SAP's industry-specific solution -- SAP Apparel and Footwear Solution for Consumer Products package -- to help manage its supply chain. The company also selected business intelligence solutions from Business Objects, an SAP company, to help close the loop between business strategy and execution. This application provides tightly integrated solutions that are expected to collectively address the organization's business needs and are intended to enable Brown Shoe to meet its long-term growth and strategic expectations while remaining customer focused.
