Top-Kniga selects Oracle Retail applications

Oracle Retail merchandising, planning and data warehousing applications from software solutions provider Oracle have been selected by Top-Kniga, a wholesaler/retailer of books in Russia, to help increase sales, performance and customer service levels across its six wholesale warehouses and 500 stores in 180 cities in Russia, through more effective inventory management.

Top-Kniga, which sells over 3m books each month through its Litera, Las Knigas and Knigomir brands, selected Oracle Retail as the most suitable solution to meet its requirements, following a market applications analysis. The project will focus initially on implementing the Oracle Retail Merchandising System, Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting and Oracle Retail Data Warehouse modules, with Deloitte acting as implementation partner.

Top-Kniga expects the Oracle Retail platform to help improve its forecasting capabilities, provide real-time data and analytics for management and automate stock replenishment, helping to boost inventory turnover and profitability.
The Oracle Retail applications deployment will support Top-Kniga's strategy for improving customer service, sales and efficiency. It is expected to enable the company to bring new stores and locations online quickly and extend its offering of services and printed media books and products.
