In 2010, General Optica implemented SAP Business Suite, deploying an ERP Financial platform to support critical organizational processes and to underpin a new Point of Sale rollout across its retail chain. The SAP Business Suite implementation was positioned as the management tool for core areas of the business and to act as the cornerstone of sales and store management during the rollout of the new POS system.
The implementation covered functional modules for purchasing, product and customer marketing, logistics production and control, and finance, with SAP Business Suite configured to manage product configurations and the end to end sales process. The new Point of Sale system was developed to manage the full range of products and configurations, and to orchestrate replenishment and store level logistics tied to SAP master data.
Architecturally the project established SAP Business Suite as the central management platform integrated with the new POS layer, and it included the implementation of coexistence interfaces to operate during the period when the new system and the old system ran in parallel. Reporting and analytical capability was provided using the SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse component, delivering sales analysis by product, customer, and store, and supporting operational queries across the estate.
Operational scope covered the companys 210 owned establishments and 38 franchises and provided the processes necessary to manage the organizations five million customers.

In 2015, General Optica implemented tt Knowledge Force as a Digital Adoption solution to support learning and development and to operationalize standardized training across its retail estate. The rollout began with training all end users at the company headquarters and employees from the first three branches, covering roughly 200 people, before moving to a train the trainer model that certified 32 training leaders to scale instruction across 235 branches and then to the remaining approximately 1,600 branch employees.
The implementation of tt Knowledge Force included creation of user manuals and interactive e learning modules, translation of generated content into other languages, and structuring of training content into role adapted courses. Content was organized in a tree structure and published on an internet portal, enabling direct access from end users workstations, while course design emphasized role based learning paths and modular course composition.
Operational integration delivered context sensitive online help directly within the SAP environment, enabling employees to access procedural guidance from the transactional systems they use. The deployment therefore combined a web published knowledge portal with in application help integration, covering HQ functions, branch staff, and frontline retail operations.
Governance and rollout followed a staged, trainer led approach, with centrally determined interactive training manual structure and locally executed training waves led by certified training leaders. Course publishing, translation workflows, and role mapping were used to control content versions and to align learning pathways with business roles and responsibilities.
The stated outcomes from the tt Knowledge Force deployment included a significant reduction in time required for courseware creation and employee training, a reduced need for the number of trainers, and lower travel expenses for trainers. General Optica leveraged tt Knowledge Force to centralize Digital Adoption assets and to scale consistent training across its retail network.
