RPAS - OLR Rapid Approach
OLR has developed the Rapid Approach for Oracle® Retail Merchandise Financial Planning (MFP) and Assortment Planning, a ready-to-deploy solution to streamline planning activities and drive profits. Including standard processes to support and sustain both strategic and financial planning within the client's business environment, this option offers rapid implementation, a lower total cost of ownership, and early return on investment.
OLR’s MFP solution establishes a solid foundation for future growth. With a holistic approach to RMS / MOM integration and support, OLR provides a single team incorporating experts across the application footprint to ensure a result that can be maintained and expanded as business needs require.
Reduce Risk:
Work with a trusted partner to deliver a proven, scalable solution.
- OLR's track record of success means that we will deliver a tested and proven solution that allows faster adoption by the client. OLR’s best-practices approach to core-configuration not only simplifies the implementation process, but preserves the sustainability and expandability of the RPAS applications.
Reduce Cost:
Minimize the total cost of ownership and provide an early return on your investment.
- The OLR Rapid Approach minimizes both the overall duration of MFP implementation and the number of client resources required. Providing a powerful solution that offers a solid return on investment, MFP gives retailers improved visibility to aggregated data through its ability to integrate and incorporate key financial indicators, such as sales, markdowns, receipts, inventory and open-to-buy.
Reduce Complexity:
Execute a centralized plan for the entire organization from a single solution.
- By establishing a single platform, the MFP solution supports top-down, middle-out and bottom-up planning throughout the organization. Granting increased visibility not only reinforces company-wide goals throughout the planning process, it also dramatically reduces the time spent on plan reconciliation and approval.
Realize Value:
Increase profits through dynamic, detailed plans based upon strategic financial targets.
Driven by industry-standards for Key Performance Indicators (KPIs,) inventory management, and combined with a holistic solution built by expert teams, OLR delivers an MFP solution that allows retailers to:
- Develop pre-season and in-season buying plans based on accurate, up-to-date metrics.
- Improve planning down to the SKU / Store level to create fewer over-/under-stock situations.
- Manage items proactively, including receipt flow planning at the weekly level.
- Reconcile bottom-up item plans with top-down financial plans to prevent overstocks and avoid excessive markdowns.
