The SAP for Retail implementation project for Lenta became the first such project in Russian retail market. Its key objectives were to increase the level of service and resource optimization by real-time receipts and distribution documents processing. The main objective of business development was to optimize business processes for delivering the goods to customers at the lowest prices without losing profits or decreasing the quality of products and services.
