SAP S/4HANA Fashion and Vertical Business

SAP S/4HANA Fashion and Vertical Business is a comprehensive ERP solution designed to help retail businesses meet the demands of the digital economy. With a simple and intuitive interface, it provides access to all areas of businesses by combining all fashion processes such as wholesale, retail, production and e-commerce on a single platform. The Vertical Fashion platform provides retailers with the flexibility and agility needed to deliver seamless customer experiences; retailers can easily adapt to rapidly changing business requirements and report in real-time by function, region, category, channel and product.

SAP S/4HANA Fashion, designed to provide real-time data access and to use this data in decision support mechanisms, has been produced to combat complexity, facilitate digital transformation and provide the highest level of simplicity. We can see in this context that the simplification motto that comes with S/4HANA continues in the Fashion product. The solution is built on SAP's HANA platform, which is SAP's in memory database technology with embedded analytical functions. With SAP fiori, an HTML5-based development interface, it offers a singularised high user experience on different devices and platforms.

The redesigned business suite, which supports fashion core processes end-to-end, from master data to supply assignment, provides agility and flexibility not previously available. Fashion companies can reinvent their processes from the front office to the back office, gain insight into operational data and empower their people with faster and better decisions and real-time information.
