As a result of a successful implementation with Retail Consult and Oracle Retail, Grupo Martí is experiencing positive impacts in budget optimization, order tracking, vendor communications, as well as an allocation of products in the right sizes, colors and quantities to stores. Accelerated purchase process and optimized product delivery are key: historically it had taken three to four months to get products into stores and this can now be accomplished in a matter of weeks. Martí’s information is now organized to provide better visibility to make more informed decisions that impact operations and inventory.
“Martí immediately noticed positive results, due to more efficient processes, control, and visibility. Budget optimization, order tracking, and vendor communications have all improved. From day one, we experienced an accelerated purchasing process to get the right product into our stores in weeks instead of months,” said Manuel Martin, CEO, Grupo Martí.
