Beyond Technologies: Avril Supermarché Santé goes live with SAP for Retail

Avril takes a long-term approach and invests in a next-generation ERP system
that can grow with them 

MONTREAL, 2017-12-14 16:40 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Avril Supermarché Santé, the leading independent Québec grocery chain
specializing in organic and natural products, has gone live across all their
stores with SAP for Retail. 

Last year, Avril selected Beyond Technologies to help them leverage SAP's
retail solution to propel the organization into a state of digital
transformation. Their rise in demand and ever-expanding customer base made it
necessary for them to choose a solution and a partner that mastered retail
operations for businesses of all sizes with growth aspirations. 

A little over a year later and with a new store opening and a warehouse
relocation throughout the process, Avril now runs every retail operation with a
fully integrated SAP ERP for Retail, powered by HANA, SAP's in-memory database.
The final step to their retail ERP digital transformation journey will be to
integrate SAP POS. Avril is very excited and they are looking forward to making
this happen, in collaboration with Beyond Technologies! 

"Implementing an ERP is challenging for any organization. Given our limited
resources, from both IT and business standpoints, we needed a partner that
understood our reality and showed flexibility. Beyond Technologies' approach
makes SAP affordable for small but growing organizations. We are now equipped
with the same Retail ERP used by our large competitors", says Rolland Tanguay,
President, Avril Supermarché Santé. 

"We are very pleased to have helped Avril improve their operations, once again
leveraging our Retail expertise. Using SAP for Retail solutions will help make
their store operations as well as their supplier and partner relationships
smarter, giving them a clear edge over the competition. Being part of such a
digital transformation is what drives Beyond Technologies", says Alain Dubois,
Chief Marketing & Business Development Officer at Beyond Technologies.
