Pandora embarks on SAP S/4HANA Cloud digital transformation

Pandora embarks on SAP S/4HANA Cloud digital transformation

Jewelry manufacturer and retailer Pandora is planning to improve its customer experience by using an SAP S/4HANA Cloud digital transformation. SAP S/4HANA Cloud will serve as the digital core of Pandora’s revamped ERP system, which will enable the redesign of the company’s business processes to be standardized, simpler to manage and more connected. Founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1982, Pandora has grown from a single store to one of the world’s largest jewelry brands. The company employs 32,000 people and operates manufacturing facilities in Thailand and retail stores around the world, as well as an e-commerce channel. Pandora runs the business on a fragmented ERP landscape of five systems, mostly Microsoft Dynamics AX, which has become antiquated and was unsupported as of July 2022, according to Suzan van Dijk, senior vice president of global business services at Pandora. To meet modern requirements for system capacity and evolving business requirements, a new ERP system was needed , and Pandora selected SAP S/4HANA Cloud. "We saw the choice of S/HANA Cloud not only as a badly needed technical upgrade from the ERP landscape we were on, but it’s also a great opportunity to simplify our business — to look at our […]

Digital Transformation in Guest Behaviour: The Ultimate Driver of True Innovation in Hotel Technology

The hospitality industry is facing the challenge of maintaining its customer service excellence in the face of guests’ growing expectations for faster service and digital solutions. The pre-arrival experience in travel and hospitality has evolved rapidly with most customers now booking their travel and hotel through digital channels. However, the in-house experience hasn’t kept up due to outdated hotel core technology, which makes it difficult to implement new and better workflows. A decade-long search for a future-proof hotel PMS solution revealed that the needs are much more complex than just being cloud-based or API-first. The author claims the primary system, the PMS, must be updated to truly transform guest experiences using all the digital solutions on the market today. Our industry is rooted in creating a memorable experience for the guests. For centuries hotels have pioneered service in ways that most other industries could only dream of. So much so that when today’s most successful retailers per square foot had to design the experience in their stores – they went to hotels to discover what made excellent customer experiences. But in the last two decades, hotels have met a new challenge to maintain their service excellence with their customers, […]

Product-based IT fuels Lufthansa’s digital CX transformation

Product-based IT fuels Lufthansa’s digital CX transformation

The German airline is putting control in the hands of its customers and data in the hands of its employees — all part of a digital transformation pivot to product-based IT, CIO Thomas Rückert says. Like many airlines, Lufthansa Group had its business upended by the COVID-19 pandemic. By April 2020, with travel bans proliferating, the airline suffered losses of €1 million per hour. Thomas Rückert, senior vice president and CIO of Lufthansa Group, says those early days of the pandemic laid bare that the airline’s digital solutions were not scalable. “The customers all had to go through flight disruptions, all had to go through service centers, which you couldn’t scale up in line with the need fast enough, so it made it very visible and tangible that self-service solutions are an absolute must improvement for the call centers,” Rückert says. Lufthansa’s customer experience (CX) strategy has three pillars, Rückert says: physical, service, and digital. Because Lufthansa’s business is moving people from place to place, the physical side of the customer experience is still the airline’s primary pillar. The company also prides itself on providing the best “service touch” it can to its customers. “You have the service touch […]
