Transformation meets customer experience

Radically rethink

Unlimited possibilities for customer experience

During the Corona crisis in 2020, online market share grew by 20 years in a just a few months. Some changes in customer behaviour will stay for the long term. The opportunity now:  Rethink your customer experience. How do I set up organisation and processes to become even more customer-centric and agile? Where and how in the customer journey can my best people add a new level of relationship, empathy, humanity and delight to the customer experience? Do I have the right controls in place to navigate agile? How can I link and implement all the issues?

 

With over a million consultant hours in the retail sector - we know your business and link it to the opportunity of new technologies. Think ahead, implement. Throughout the entire company - from all customer interactions to the core business in ERP to finance. Let's change your company together!

Coop Danmark

Case Study Coop

Coop Danmark - Largest S/4 HANA transformation in the Nordics

Coop wanted to face new digital challenges: a modern shopping app, self-checkout, staffless point of sales possibilities, increased involvement of local producers and locally adapted and differentiated assortments, serving multiple sales channels and fulfilment options or even technical support to optimise the carbon footprint. 
Bjørn Dalen, Director IT Systems and Operations @Elkjøp about SAP Commerce

Elkjøp

Electronics retailer successfully defends itself against competitors

KPS and Elkjøp lay the foundation for Next Generation Retail - a complete B2X platform for all countries within the Elkjøp Group. The online customer experience was implemented as a headless single page application, integrated with Core Media and SAP Commerce Cloud. A truly sophisticated customer journey for all touchpoints, the latest technology and an unparalleled look and feel not found elsewhere in Europe.

Brakes Foodservice

A new B2C site - from idea to launch in just one week

COVID-19 posed major challenges for all sectors - but also opened up opportunities. Our client Brakes wanted to change its entire business model within a few days with our support. With the sudden closure of bars and restaurants, the UK's largest food wholesaler initially supported supermarkets' efforts to bring food into shops and then came up with the idea of setting up a B2C website to deliver goods directly to consumers and KPS went into action. After 5 days, Brakes was able to take phone orders for collection, and within 9 days customers could order online from the new web shop in SAP Commerce Cloud and collect their purchase from local distribution centres with the click of a mouse.

Dreams DAP

The advantages of our Digital Acceleration Programme

With our Digital Acceleration Programme (DAP), we benchmarked Dreams against its competitors, as well as the best of breed within the retail space. Using 400 markers, we highlighted where they were winning, losing, and where the best opportunities for improving customer experience, and, ultimately, revenue, was for Dreams. We examined how they could support potential customers through each step, developing the best possible user experience that led to the highest conversion rates. After our analysis, we worked with Dreams and helped boost their conversion rates by 19%.
This is a once in a generation initiative, the biggest of its kind ever at Coop, and naturally our expectations are high. We have decided on KPS as partner to guide us on this journey, based on their experience in the grocery retail industry and a very hands-on approach to make business and IT succeed together.

Bernd Grande, Head of IT @GLOBUS about what distinguishes KPS from other consultancies

Globus self-service department stores

SAP as the foundation for a fully integrated customer interaction platform

Bernd Grande, IT Manager at Globus SB Warenhaus, overlooked the implementation of the retailer's Customer Interaction Platform. 600,000 customers of the Globus loyalty programme 'My Globus', 11 million transaction records and 60,000 voucher records were successfully migrated. All loyalty information is available in SAP CRM LOY and in SAP Marketing. The SAP Customer Data Cloud manages the customer profiles and data protection compliant consents. Via the data warehouse solution, receipt data and totals are transferred to SAP CRM LOY and replicated in all surrounding systems.
KPS has successfully implemented a stable SAP system landscape for our entire customer management in a very short time. The customer data migration and integration with existing systems both went off smoothly and to our complete satisfaction.
