New Yorker
New Yorker extended Microsoft Dynamics AX with a pricing engine, a logistics module and a POS export tool, supporting more than 1,000 stores in 40 countries.
One of the largest European fashion chains
New Yorker is one of the largest European fashion retail chains. The company was founded in 1971 in Flensburg, Germany, and has been growing rapidly ever since. Today it operates more than 1,000 stores in 40 countries and employs more than 10,000 people.
Project Description
New Yorker used Microsoft Dynamics AX as the ERP system supporting the chain’s operations on an international scale. A growing number of countries and stores, complex multi-market pricing processes, and the need to integrate the system with a legacy application and POS terminals in stores required extending the standard Dynamics AX functionality with dedicated modules and tools.
ANEGIS carried out the project in an international, multi-company and multilingual environment. The scope covered price management, warehouse logistics and store operations (POS), as well as financial support. In parallel, the team provided ongoing system support and fixed production errors, and one of the project’s goals was the continuous development of the application through the design and creation of new functionality.
Challenge
- No central price management mechanism for more than 1,000 stores in 40 countries
- The need to integrate Dynamics AX with a legacy application to transmit price changes to stores
- The need to migrate a large volume of pricing data from the legacy application to Dynamics AX
- No dedicated warehouse procedure for managing discrepancies between ordered and received goods
- No export tool for sending data from Dynamics AX to POS systems in stores
- Limited performance of existing functions and forms in the Fashion Logistics and Fashion Retail modules
- Manual import of bank statements requiring automation
Solution
- Development of a pricing engine managing price changes and price storage across all New Yorker countries and stores, integrated with the legacy application for transmitting changes.
- Development of a data migration tool for importing a large volume of pricing information from the legacy application into Dynamics AX.
- Development of a comparison engine matching prices between Dynamics AX and the legacy application.
- Design and implementation of a custom warehouse procedure: a goods receipt system handling discrepancies between ordered and received quantities.
- Development and launch of a POS export tool sending data from Dynamics AX to stores, including location data export logic separated from the legacy process.
- Performance optimisation of existing functions and forms in the Fashion Logistics and Fashion Retail modules.
- Development of automation logic for bank statement import.
- Sales declaration reports for Ukraine and a redesign of carton labels for the warehouse.
Benefit
- A central pricing engine enables consistent price management across all stores and countries from a single place.
- Automated transmission of price changes from Dynamics AX to stores through the integration with the legacy application.
- Efficient handling of goods receipt discrepancies thanks to a dedicated logistics module.
- Operational data sent from Dynamics AX to POS terminals in stores without manual intervention.
- Higher system performance in the key Fashion Logistics and Fashion Retail modules.
- Automated bank statement import eliminates manual work in the finance department.
