SmartOps Retail And Distribution Supply Chain Solutions Awarded Powered By SAP NetWeaver Certification
Industry leading software is one of the first retail and distribution solutions to achieve certification
SmartOps Corporation, the leading provider of enterprise-class supply chain inventory optimization solutions, today announced that two SmartOps retail and distribution industry software solutions have received Powered by SAP NetWeaver™ certification.
The certification enables SmartOps customers to leverage their SAP NetWeaver platform with two additional SmartOps solutions: Adaptive Structural Forecasting™ (ASF) 3.0 and Replenishment Planning and Optimization (RPO) 3.0. SmartOps previously announced the Powered by SAP NetWeaver certification for its Multistage Inventory Planning and Optimization (MIPO™) solution. SmartOps Adaptive Structural Forecasting (ASF) enables customers to achieve quantum-leap improvements in causal, multivariate, store-level, and item-level forecasting. SmartOps Replenishment Planning and Optimization (RPO) determines optimal multi-item, multi-vendor ordering policies, enabling customers to manage and optimize net landed cost.
SmartOps customers can seamlessly utilize ASF 3.0 and RPO 3.0 through the SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0, manage data and reports, and run ASF 3.0 and RPO 3.0 on SAP® Web Application Server Release 6.40. For all of its software, SmartOps achieves Powered by SAP NetWeaver certification through 100 percent Enterprise Services Architecture – not the use of costly "connectors" or middleware required by non-ESA software developers.
"In all areas of technology, the emergence and adoption of standards like SAP NetWeaver accelerate innovation and customer value attainment," says Sridhar Tayur, CEO of SmartOps. "As the retail and distribution industries continue to adopt the SAP NetWeaver platform and implement the SmartOps super-scale retail and distribution planning and optimization solutions, a Powered by SAP NetWeaver certification assures our customers that our software solutions complement and leverage their SAP investments."
