Middle Eastern retail group goes live on 12 Oracle Retail applications with OLR

Al Tayer, a diversified group with retail operations spanning luxury and lifestyle segments, has completed the latest phase of a major IT overhaul, after going live on Oracle Retail v13, implemented and supported by retail systems implementer, OLR.

The project was successfully implemented on time and under budget by a combined project team, and included Oracle products for merchandising, warehouse management, store operations, replenishment and the retail data warehouse.

Al Tayer Group’s chief information officer, Brad Henderson, commented: "Implementation of 12 Oracle Retail applications simultaneously, within a period of 12 months with a smooth transition of all retail operations, is a milestone that we’re pleased to have accomplished.”

New software drives business transformation

Al Tayer Group has been undertaking a business transformation driven by the implementation of the new systems. Automotive applications were successfully implemented in June 2009 followed by Retail Applications in November 2009.

The latest phase extended to merchandising, warehousing and store operations, with the Oracle Retail suite serving as the backbone for these critical retail functions. "We introduced ORL midway through our project to help the business requirements for expertise, quality and timeliness," stated Henderson.

"OLR consultants worked with our team to implement a full set of retail business processes supported by Oracle Retail functionality. The implementation of this project will provide a platform to cater to continued growth and drive significant value through efficient retail business processes, process controls and greater visibility over a diversified retail business model.”
