In 2020, Ardene implemented Adyen as its Payment Processing solution on its public ecommerce website. The deployment integrated Adyen's payment gateway and client-side checkout components to accept cards and common alternative payment methods at online checkout. Ardene, a Canadian retail company with about 3500 employees, centralized online payment acceptance through Adyen.
The implementation configuration focuses on payment authorization, tokenization for card on file use cases, and settlement orchestration typical of Payment Processing platforms. Adyen's APIs and hosted payment fields are used to reduce PCI scope and to support secure card entry, authorization flows, and lifecycle events such as captures and refunds. Fraud screening and risk decisioning are addressed through Adyen's built-in processing workflows and configurable routing rules.
Operational coverage is website checkout and adjacent finance functions, with governance centered on payment policy, reconciliation processes, and PCI compliance for web payments. Rollout was executed through the website checkout, with operational ownership residing with ecommerce and finance teams to manage payment routing, dispute handling, and settlement reconciliation. This implementation positions Adyen as the core payment engine in Ardene Payment Processing for online sales.

| Oracle | Legacy | Oracle Retail Merchandising System | Retail Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2017 | 2017 |
In 2017, Ardene implemented Oracle Retail Merchandising System to centralize merchandising and inventory workflows as part of a Retail Management initiative supporting international expansion. The deployment targeted merchant and planner workflows and was designed to scale across the retailers more than 400 stores in Canada and the United States, aligning merchandising, promotions planning, and inventory management with corporate buying and store replenishment operations.
The implementation emphasized core merchandising modules, beginning with an item master to create a single system of record and to execute purchase orders. Oracle Retail Merchandising System was configured to manage inventory by color and size, support replenishment to warehouses and stores, calculate actual landed costs from global suppliers, centralize price management, and standardize promotions planning and seasonal buy processes.
Ardene partnered with systems integrator OLR Group to roll out the solution and to ensure streamlined integration with existing information systems, establishing a connection that leverages the retailers legacy sales and customer data. The architecture integrated third party purchase order processing into the Oracle environment to streamline critical PO workflows, and the implementation scope included merchandising, planning, procurement, pricing, and store and warehouse inventory operations across Canada and the U.S.
Governance and rollout began with merchandising as the foundational module, establishing master data controls and process standardization for item management, purchase order execution, vendor cost capture, and centralized promotion configuration. The stated goals are to better serve customers and improve margins, to more effectively plan seasonal buys, optimize vendor relationships, and roll out customer promotions consistently across unique markets while preserving margins through centralized price management.
