Retail Intelligence Suite for a BlueChip Retail Giant
Levi Strauss & Co, a Fortune 500 company and the world most iconic jeans manufacturer also known as the originator of blue jeans has its offices and retail stores established in more than 80 countries worldwide with Revenues surging $4.5b. The company is known for working with vendors having strong values/ creative and intelligent solutions and partners only with businesses compliant with the latest information security practices.
Problem
In late 2018, a new Governmental compliance was introduced in which all retail companies were mandated to report their sales in real time to the Central Regulator’s portal. LS & Co to-date is using its 20-year-old legacy system at the retail stores to manage Point of Sale operations. This change in regulation resulted in a big problem LS&Co as at that time there was little or no support from the existing legacy POS service provider. On top of it, the regional IT team based in another country, could not effectively communicate/ establish a solution with the Regulator’s IT dept. In 2019, the Global LS&Co IT team contacted Txend to provide a solution to this problem.
Solution
Txend developed a state-of-the-art platform Retail Intelligence Service Component (RISC) to cater all of the problems of the customer. The solution was platform agnostic and existed independent of the existing POS system, and robust enough to cater thousands of requests from a chain of stores across the country simultaneously at one time. While reporting transactions in a real-time basis, there were challenges in reconciling these between POS, RISC and Central Regulatory system. Txend provided a solution for that too, which was seamlessly integrated with all three solutions and performed reconciliation without hassle. This had a great impact on LS & Co. team as there efficiency was enhanced significantly. In addition to this, RISC provided interactive dashboards for reviewing and analyzing Sales activities across 100+ outlets in the country. LS & Co. went live with RISC in 2020 and is running their operations smoothly since then.
