attune helps complete successful
deployment of SAP Apparel and Footwear Solution (AFS) and integrates
lacrosse businesses ahead of seasonal demands
BURLINGTON, Mass., April 8, 2014 -- attune Consulting,
a premier global solutions provider to the fashion and lifestyle
industries, today announced the success of its partnership with Bauer Performance Sports Ltd. (BPS).
attune worked with BPS to implement the SAP AFS (Apparel and Footwear)
6.5 platform across two companies that form BPS's lacrosse business.
The
implementation has enabled BPS to integrate the companies to meet the
increasing demand and seasonal deadlines associated with purchasing
lacrosse equipment.
"Maverik and Cascade combine to represent one of the largest lacrosse equipment manufacturers in the world," said Anne Marie Doucette,
director, information services, at Bauer. "With attune's help,
expertise, and manpower, we were able to quickly integrate product
management systems across these two companies. For any business
acquisition a seamless integration is critical, but it's more essential
in a seasonal industry like lacrosse."
BPS
is a leading developer and manufacturer of ice hockey, roller hockey,
lacrosse, baseball, and softball equipment, as well as related apparel.
Following the acquisitions of Maverik Lacrosse in 2010 and Cascade Helmets in 2012, BPS established a new and expanding presence in lacrosse, one of the fastest growing team sports in North America.
To
take advantage of the opportunity, BPS needed to integrate the acquired
companies and gain control over key processes – from production
planning and inventory management to sales distribution and financial
controls. While Maverik was running on an older version of SAP AFS,
Cascade was using a legacy system – requiring both a significant system
upgrade and first-time implementation of SAP. attune's team of experts
worked with BPS to implement SAP AFS 6.5 across the companies and create
a scalable enterprise architecture that operates seamlessly with BPS's
existing technology environment.
"Our
goal in working with BPS, as with every one of our fashion and
lifestyle clients, is to ensure the technology solution we implement
will support their growth objectives," said Ingrid Zohar, project
manager at attune. "With BPS, we focused on tailoring the SAP AFS
implementation to address requirements for the successful integration of
their lacrosse business and provide a foundation for the future. BPS's
confidence in the expertise of our team has led to a strong and valued
partnership."
attune
continues to provide BPS with on-going solutions support through its
Managed Services Practice. This service offers a comprehensive portfolio
of business process, technology, training, and support services based
on attune's years of industry experience and knowledge of SAP AFS and
Retail leading practices.
