The retailer has deployed Oracle Retail Merchandising Financial Planning, Oracle Retail Assortment Planning and Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service solutions to expand its presence in 39 countries across Europe and the Middle East. It currently operates 680 franchise and owned stores.

Oracle Retail Assortment Planning will assist the company to reduce the number of SKUs per collection and open new product streams.
