In 2016, Salling Group implemented SAP Replenishment Planning as part of its Allocation and Replenishment capabilities within a consolidated SAP ERP estate. The deployment supported a retail footprint of more than 1,500 stores across four countries, 11 warehouses, and a transaction volume exceeding nine million daily transactions, positioning SAP Replenishment Planning as a central component of store replenishment and allocation workflows.
SAP Replenishment Planning was configured alongside SAP Forecasting and Replenishment, SAP Allocation Management, and the Unified Demand Forecast component of SAP Customer Activity Repository to enable category-aligned demand sensing and twice daily replenishment runs. The implementation emphasized replenishment orchestration, automated allocation adjustments, and integration of store-level sales signals into centralized demand forecasts to support inventory movement between stores and timely sends to distribution centers.
Operationally the solution was deployed on Salling Group's SAP landscape running on IBM Db2 on IBM POWER servers, with IBM Global Technology Services and IBM as the implementation and operations partner. The architecture leveraged a three layer SAP model and capacity on demand for workload redistribution, with load balancing and resilient infrastructure patterns that supported high availability and real-time data feeds from SAP ECC and SAP Customer Activity Repository into the replenishment engine.
Governance and runbook practices were formalized to support the consolidated SAP approach, enabling a single picture of the truth for replenishment and allocation decisioning across merchandising, supply chain and store operations. Documented results tied to the SAP and IBM infrastructure include USD 520,000 in annual savings from SAP consolidation, less than two hours of downtime in 2019, a nearly 500 day streak without delays in the daily replenishment run, 96 percent hardware reuse after a POWER upgrade, and a 99.94 percent click and collect completion rate, all reflecting operational stability for the Allocation and Replenishment function.
