A Consumer Goods Technology Case Study
VF Corporation, a global apparel and footwear company with over 30 brands, faced the challenge of disparate legacy technology systems resulting from growth and acquisitions. Their outdated and heavily customized SAP ERP, along with 71 other systems across eight outdoor brands, created operational complexity, high costs, and hindered growth. They partnered with Consumer Goods Technology to implement a new, unified technology platform to standardize processes and data.
The solution implemented by Consumer Goods Technology was a comprehensive SAP-based platform dubbed "Accadia." This involved standardizing business processes, implementing a centralized Master Data Management (MDM) system, and deploying a new Distributed Order Management (DOM) system. The results for VF Corporation included a drastic reduction in order processing time from hours to seconds, a single global view of data for faster analysis, and the ability to set up new market operations in half the time. Consumer Goods Technology helped VF achieve greater efficiency, improved product availability, and a scalable platform for future growth.
