The design and implementation of the Core Model based on SAP IS-Retail ensured the integration of the company's different business units under a single global solution. From the provisioning of suppliers to customer distribution, through the preparation in kitchens.

In addition to the development of the analytical reporting model based on BW on HANA, the BI team implemented the middleware and transactional data with satellite systems (Hybris, third-party ERP's, B2B communication with business partners, B2C self-billing, service surveys, etc.). Especially noteworthy is the real-time integration with point of sale (POS) terminals. Where it also acts as a transactional system for the receip and validation of tickets and sales sessions.
