| UKG | Legacy | UKG Workforce Central Timekeeper (ex Kronos Workforce Timekeeper) | Time and Attendance | HCM | n/a | 2008 | 2008 |
In 2008, Coach deployed UKG Workforce Central Timekeeper (ex Kronos Workforce Timekeeper) as its Time and Attendance solution. Coach implemented UKG Workforce Central Timekeeper to centralize store-level timekeeping and scheduling for retail operations and to support manager workflows across stores and distribution points.
The implementation emphasized core Time and Attendance capabilities including time capture, shift scheduling for two-shift store teams, supervisor timecard review and approvals, exception management, and accrual tracking. Configuration specifically supported manager activities to update and maintain employee attendance records through the Kronos system, and to manage teams of up to 20 associates per manager.
Operational coverage aligned with store operations, human resources, and operational planning, where timekeeping data informed monthly staffing and operating budget planning and day-to-day scheduling to meet order fulfillment requirements and to support returns processing across Retail, Wholesale and Direct to Consumer channels. The system served as the authoritative attendance record consumed by manager reports and workforce planning processes rather than as a point solution tied to a single downstream application.
Governance centered on manager-led execution, including bi-annual employee evaluations, daily positive and corrective feedback tied to attendance and performance observations, training for process changes and new hires, and ongoing process improvement to align staffing with volume. UKG Workforce Central Timekeeper was instrumented to support these governance steps through documented timecard maintenance, exception workflows, and reporting used by store managers and HR.

| SAP | SAP Apparel and Footwear (SAP AFS) | SAP S/4HANA for Fashion and Vertical Business | Retail Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2017 | 2018 |
In 2017, Coach implemented SAP S/4HANA for Fashion and Vertical Business to consolidate Tapestry brands onto a single SAP platform and address scalability, standardization, and acquisition integration challenges. The SAP S/4HANA for Fashion and Vertical Business deployment was positioned as a Retail Management solution to unify manufacturing, supply chain logistics, finance, retail store operations, and eCommerce order orchestration across Coach and the broader Tapestry portfolio.
The implementation delivered core modules for retail and wholesale processes, supply chain capabilities, and finance configuration using standard industry functionality and accelerators. The project prioritized omnichannel order fulfillment and enabled core buy and sell processes at go live, with a phased rollout of advanced capabilities, leveraging the Rizing Fashion Suite and default SAP functionality to accelerate delivery and reduce custom configuration.
Architecturally the program centralized operations into a single SAP S/4HANA instance hosted on a single tenant private cloud to provide compliant data security and scalable infrastructure capacity. Integrations explicitly included point of sale integration and SAP Customer Activity Repository to provide real time visibility across physical stores, concession shops, department store partners, and eCommerce channels, and a strengthened consumer database and analytics layer to support actionable insights.
Governance and rollout emphasized a multiphase approach and internal capability building, including a center of excellence to manage the platform, embedded process engineers and change agents, and stakeholder engagement from design through adoption. The program standardized processes across locations and brands, created a repeatable template for faster integration of future acquisitions, and restructured workflows to reduce inconsistent local configurations while preserving industry best practices.
The SAP S/4HANA for Fashion and Vertical Business implementation addressed explicit business objectives by providing a future proof platform to support global growth, standardizing business processes for manufacturing, supply chain, and finance, and enabling omnichannel customer experiences. Outcomes called out in the program included improved data transformation and analytics, unified real time actionable data to support customer centric operations, and a robust foundation for faster integration of acquisitions under the Retail Management application.
