Globus CR: Modernization of IT in a retail company

Globus CR, v.o.s. took another significant step in the modernization of its IT systems, introducing the SAP Retail solution. The project is part of a global transformation of its systems.

Thanks to the introduction of the SAP system, Globus ČR now has room for development and modernization within the entire omnichannel, i.e. both in the field of classic sales at individual hypermarkets and in the field of online applications for customers.

SAP to support key processes

The extensive roll-out of SAP systems affected key processes across the entire company – from cooperation with suppliers, through logistics, warehouses and goods registration to applications used by end customers of hypermarkets.

Our company, MIBCON a.s., helped implement the modernization and project managed it, which provided consulting and analytical services to the customer’s internal team, trained and tested solutions, and helped with the implementation of individual project milestones.

“Thanks to the cooperation with Mibcon, this huge change succeeded very comfortably, with no impact on our business,” Michaela Reková, coordinator for Globus CR, evaluated the project.

Integration with SAP Process Integration

Furthermore, Mibcon was in charge of SAP Process Integration (SAP PI), i.e. software that ensures communication between key internal and external systems. Here, the Mibcon team implemented over 40 different interfaces.

“In the next phase of the project, we participated in the roll-out of SAP Retail in 15 hypermarkets, where, in addition to leading and coordinating the project and supporting the Globus team, we were involved in key data migrations,” Zdeněk Ira, director of the ERP division, describes the cooperation from Mibcon’s point of view.

“Globus ČR, or the Czech Republic as such, was the third country of the Globus business group to switch to SAP Retail. The current system of commodity management was already very outdated and the exchange for a new system was inevitable,” added Michaela Reková.
