“With industry cloud solutions for retail from SAP, we can
give shoppers real-time visibility of which products are
available in which stores – so they can get the items they
need, at a time and place that’s convenient for them.”
Christoph Kastaun, IT Director, Tchibo GmbH
To fuel growth and profitability in a highly competitive market, Tchibo must offer
customers a seamless experience across all channels. The first step was modernizing
and simplifying core business processes with SAP S/4HANA.
Next, the company worked with CAS Concepts and Solutions AG to implement the SAP
Customer Activity Repository application, integrating it with all sales channels – from
in-store point of sale (POS) systems to e-commerce – as well as the company’s SAP
S/4HANA digital core. Real-time inventory visibility enables smarter inventory planning,
helping Tchibo to optimize stock levels and reduce waste. Crucially, it also enables
Tchibo to provide click-and-collect services, offering customers the flexibility and
convenience to pick up orders at their local store.
With the SAP Omnichannel Promotion Pricing solution, Tchibo can now embed consistent
promotional price calculation logic, delivering a consistent shopping experience that
fosters customer trust and loyalty. It also lays the groundwork for future promotional
strategies, including customer and location-specific pricing.
