Originally established by Jim Felt, a former motocross mechanic, the company’s roots go back more than 20 years. Since then, Felt has grown far beyond its racing roots, but their guiding principle remains the same: every Felt bike – road or off-road, high end performance to entry level recreation – is designed to make the cycling experience the best it can be.
Now a multi-million dollar global manufacturer, Felt sets the standard for cyclists the world over.
Challenge
As a major supplier of high performance bicycles with a European base in Germany, the company needed to automate and share stock and order information with their UK distributor, with whom they hold exclusive distribution rights.
Felt needed an international solution that would integrate their systems in Germany with their distributor’s systems in the UK, in order to provide a seamless experience for stockists and dealers placing orders domestically.
Solution
The solution comprises complex integration via SAP business management software in order to connect Felt’s systems in Germany to their distributor in the UK. The solution:
• Enables the automation of order processing.
• Provides the ability to share data internationally between the two companies.
• Allows Felt to integrate data from disparate systems and deliver trusted information to their distributor’s applications and processes.
• Enables the end user, when part of the order is supplied direct from Felt, to see it as a single transaction by the stockist/dealer, creating a seamless order process.
Benefits
The solution incorporates full integration to SAP to provide an efficient workflow that complements the company’s existing business processes. Integrating into SAP allows the company to leverage data across their business internally and externally, to improve customer-centricity, sales productivity and operational efficiency.
Key benefits to Felt’s operation:
• Automates formerly manual order processes.
• Helps boost productivity while minimising process interruptions.
• Creates consolidated views of suppliers, parts and products for more efficient procurement and inventory management.
