Case Study: Valora achieves centralized real-time POS management with SAP Point-of-Sale by GK

Centralized real-time management with SAP Point-of-Sale by GK

Valora, a Switzerland-based retail group and market leader in convenience stores, faced the challenge of centrally managing its 2,500 fragmented outlets. Its outdated, end-of-life store software could no longer be supported, and it needed a future-proof, SAP-compatible point-of-sale (POS) solution to efficiently manage various retail banners across multiple countries. To address this, the company chose to implement SAP Point-of-Sale by GK from vendor GK Software.

The solution provided by GK Software was a centrally hosted POS system that integrated seamlessly with Valora's existing SAP architecture. This enabled real-time monitoring of all international stores from a single location. The implementation was rolled out to over 1,300 stores in Germany and Switzerland, resulting in significantly optimized POS processes, a considerable drop in error rates, and a reduction in employee training time to just a few hours.
