| SAP | Legacy | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2017 | 2017 |
In 2017, De Beers Jewellers implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 to establish a formal ERP Financial backbone for corporate accounting, statutory reporting and treasury management. The deployment focused on supporting the finance organization responsible for DBJ consolidation, monthly close orchestration, preparation of the year end financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and management of the external audit process.
SAP ERP ECC 6.0 was configured to support core financial modules common to the ERP Financial category, including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, fixed assets and cash management, with structured close schedules and standardized balance sheet reconciliation templates. Configuration work emphasized IFRS-aligned chart of accounts, consolidated balance sheet ownership, and controls to support reconciliations for cash, fixed assets, prepayments, creditors and accruals.
Operational coverage extended across the De Beers Jewellers finance function and required coordination with overseas finance teams for consolidated reporting and submission of close schedules to the shareholder. Functional responsibilities linked to the system implementation include statutory reporting, budget and forecast processes, tax compliance, stock management and treasury operations, all exercised through the SAP ERP ECC 6.0 financial modules and consolidation workflows.
Governance and process changes centered on centralizing ownership of accounting policies and month end close procedures, periodic review of accounting policies to maintain IFRS compliance, and formalization of external audit management and internal control routines. The finance team retained accountability for consolidated reporting outputs and aged item resolution, with SAP ERP ECC 6.0 serving as the transactional and reporting source for those governance activities.

| SAP | Legacy | SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central | Core HR | HCM | n/a | 2018 | 2019 |
In 2018 De Beers Jewellers began a global roll out of SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central as its Core HR platform, led by a Global SuccessFactors lead embedded in the De Beers Group program. The implementation was delivered against Anglo American operating constraints for a c60k staff footprint, with the program lead advising on timing, testing, cut over planning and phased delivery across international business units.
The deployment focused on SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central core data model configuration, with functional coverage extended to Time Off, Learning and Performance & Goals. The team signed off a global template model and a country specific localisation approach, and challenged supplier configuration choices to prioritize user friendly HR admin and employee manager self service experiences.
Integrations were coordinated for existing systems and ECC on premise payroll feeds, with detailed technical requirements captured for HRIS connectivity and payroll handoffs. Ongoing BAU support was managed for Employee Central and adjacent modules, and technical coaching was delivered to HR system administrators to increase operational confidence and efficiency.
Governance changes included formal change control procedures for documentation testing and sign off, revised operating model agreements with offshore suppliers, and stakeholder negotiation to adjust phasing and rollout approach. The program managed development budget and resource allocation, established processes to ensure fair prioritisation across business units, and improved supplier to HR team interaction to accelerate delivery.
Explicit outcomes recorded in the program included a renegotiated standard enhancements list that reduced budgeted hours by 30 percent, measurable improvements in delivery speed and quality from operating model changes, and increased communication quality between HRIS and supplier teams. SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central was therefore positioned as the Core HR system of record for De Beers Jewellers with consolidated governance and integration plans in place.

| Oracle | Legacy | Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service | Point Of Sale | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2020 | 2020 |
In 2020, De Beers Jewellers deployed Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service as part of a broader move to modernize in-store customer engagement, aligning the implementation with its existing customer-facing digital assets. The deployment is positioned within the Point Of Sale category and is intended to extend the interactive, consultative experience De Beers established with its Iris iPad application, which is already available in 33 stores across 15 countries.
The implementation centers on Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service to provide a mobile Point Of Sale interface with rapid pricing calculation, an intuitive associate-facing user experience, and the ability for brand ambassadors to conduct discovery and purchase flows anywhere on the sales floor. De Beers paired the front-of-house Xstore Point-of-Service rollout with Oracle Retail Xstore Office Cloud Service for back-office orchestration, retaining standard Point Of Sale functional workflows such as transaction processing, pricing maintenance, and offline resilience where supported by the product.
Oracle Retail Consulting Services is cited as the implementation support resource for the program, and the architecture leverages the Oracle cloud for the Xstore Office Cloud Service. The cloud deployment is described as secure and scalable, intended to reduce on-premises data center commitment, accelerate new store deployments, and shorten upgrade cycles while providing multinational support for cross-border retail operations.
Operationally the solution impacts retail sales, store operations, and customer engagement workflows, enabling brand ambassadors and sales associates to guide customers through discovery to purchase with mobile POS capabilities. De Beers articulated an aspiration to replicate the earlier Iris outcome, referencing a reported 300% ROI in the first five weeks from that initiative, though contemporaneous coverage noted that repeating that level of return was unlikely. Governance and process emphasis in the rollout focuses on aligning front-of-house selling motions with centralized back-office processes delivered via Xstore Office Cloud Service.
