Case Study: Aritzia achieves 54% faster SAP delivery and reduced business disruption with Panaya

Aritzia Accelerates SAP Delivery Project by 54% and Reduces Business Disruption by Centralizing Test Management

Aritzia, a North American fashion retailer with 80+ locations and a major e-commerce presence, struggled with fragmented test management for multiple SAP and vendor-driven change projects. Teams relied on isolated spreadsheets shared across locations, which were time-consuming, unscalable, hard to audit, and made test reuse dependent on individual users’ knowledge — leaving the company without centralized visibility into overall testing coverage.

Aritzia implemented Panaya Test Dynamix as a unified test and impact-analysis platform, centralizing test management, improving scoping during planning, and streamlining defect communication. The change cut project duration and business disruption by 54% on average (for example, an SAP upgrade fell from 1,607 to 731 hours, saving 876 hours) while enabling test reuse and better function-specific impact analysis.
