eobuwie.pl is a leader in selling shoes, bags, and accessories in Central and Eastern Europe. As the company expands into new markets, its footwear and accessory inventory and assortments grows more complex. To streamline and automate their planning processes and meet changing customer demands, eobuwie.pl recently chose Oracle Retail’s merchandising cloud solution. Now, the company’s category teams will be able to execute a more integrated and intelligent planning process for all product lines and increasing assortments across the brand portfolio.

“Our investment with Oracle allows us to better scale to meet customer demand with a fresh assortment that is accessible wherever our customers choose to shop,” said Szymon Dąbrowski, Commercial Director at eobuwie.pl S.A.

“With the new cloud service, we can improve the planning across multiple channels, markets, and customer segments to better support our growing business. Planners can proactively manage the open to buy process with Oracle Retail Merchandise Financial Planning,” said Wiktor Miernik-Zdanowicz, Head of Trade Operations at eobuwie.pl S.A. “Our goal is to spend less time manually collating data and more time analyzing and identifying profitability opportunities.”

eobuwie.pl chose Oracle Retail Merchandise Financial Planning Cloud Service running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for its unique footwear and fashion planning capabilities and proven track record in the market. The implementation was supported by Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) member Pronos, who demonstrated local market knowledge, solution competencies, and language capabilities. Leveraging a lean delivery approach, eobuwie.pl and Pronos successfully implemented the new cloud service in just 13-weeks.

“The IT and business teams can now collaborate through a centralized planning process to deliver more accurate inventory from a single version of the truth. As a result, we expect the retailer to see improved margins through optimized markdowns and end-of-season stock,” said Pawel Kowalewski, Vice President, Pronos.
