The highlights at a glance
Whether differentiated product lines, business partner portals, agency business, or central regulation: valantic cs4Franchise is designed for associated groups, cooperations, and franchise systems. Our all-in-one SAP franchise solution includes new and customized functions from SAP S/4HANA as well as integrated accounting. It also offers pre-configured end-to-end processes along the entire value chain from suppliers to customers. These include the core processes of article master, collective/variant items, product lines, procurement deadlines, goods distribution, order allocation, seasons, value-added services, distribution curve, and production planning.
Thanks to its complete integration with leading POS systems – there is a pre-configured interface to OmniPOS from GK Software – valantic cs4Franchise addresses the requirements of retail. Among other things, all relevant information can be used directly at the point of sale (POS). Since cash register data and information are available in the data warehouse in a highly granular and standardized manner, precise evaluations and clear reports are possible at any time. With SAP Business Intelligence, companies can perform in-depth analysis and enjoy comprehensive management reporting.
valantic cs4Franchise also offers numerous pre-set functions for agency business and central regulation. The valantic cs4Franchise Portal and integrated store merchandise management based on SAP Fiori In-Store Merchandising integrate all processes of headquarters as well as those of stores, members, and partners – whether networked omnichannel strategies or control of online shops, business partner portals, and call centers. Sales and communication channels can be linked and integrated according to demand and target groups. In addition, campaigns, orders, incoming goods, and transfers can be controlled directly at the POS – optionally also with MDE devices (mobile data acquisition).
Master data management is also included, which supports GTIN control (Global Trade Item Number), information on local and global articles and suppliers, as well as reporting. In addition, valantic cs4Franchise offers an innovative authorization concept and role-based processes.
Direct data exchange with global manufacturers and suppliers provides a decisive competitive advantage in retail. SAP software supports this thanks to its high degree of standardization and it also facilitates the integration of business partners and international expansion.
