CASE STUDYDigital Transformation & Business architecture
Problem
Faced with increased competition and rapidly changing consumer expectations, a major furniture retailer found that its IT system and traditional business processes limited its agility and ability to innovate. The lack of integration among various IT systems (ERP, WMS, CRM, etc.) led to operational inefficiencies, a customer experience that fell short of expectations, and ultimately, a negative impact on the overall performance of the business.
The need for a digital transformation became evident, not only to modernize operations but also to enhance the customer experience and support future growth. The goal was to undertake a profound overhaul of business processes, supported by cutting-edge technologies.
Solution
The retailer enlisted Trencadis to identify critical business processes in need of transformation. The approach began with a thorough analysis of existing operations to determine high-stakes processes and opportunities for improvement. Trencadis's accreditation with government programs enabled the retailer to undertake its digital transformation with the aid of the Quebec government's Essor program and the Canadian Digital Adoption Program (CDAP) of the Canadian government, thus benefiting from funding and strategic support.
Trencadis then developed a detailed digital roadmap and action plan, highlighting the priorities and key steps of the transformation. A crucial aspect of this plan was the creation of a Request for Proposal (RFP) document that included a detailed list of technical and functional requirements for selecting the appropriate IT solutions, including ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), WMS (Warehouse Management System), and CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems.
Results
Following the digital transformation strategy developed by Trencadis, the retailer proceeded to select the best digital tools tailored to its specific needs, choosing the most suitable ERP, WMS, and CRM solutions. This critical step ensured that the implemented technologies were perfectly aligned with the objectives of optimizing business processes and enhancing the customer experience.
The implementation of the digital plan allowed the retailer to make significant progress in several key areas. The integration of new systems led to the optimization of operations, a reduction in processing times, and a notable improvement in overall efficiency. These changes had a direct impact on customer satisfaction, which translated into increased loyalty and revenue.
Furthermore, the digital transformation equipped the retailer with the necessary tools to quickly adapt to market trends and changing consumer expectations, thus ensuring a sustainable competitive position in the industry. The company is now better prepared to face future challenges, thanks to a solid and flexible technological foundation.
