Client Overview
Tapestry, a New York-based luxury fashion conglomerate, embracing brands like Coach, Kate Spade, and Stuart Weitzman, faced a major challenge: enhancing operational efficiency in its core enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, SAP S/4HANA. The company sought to automate complex, manual processes within SAP, aiming for a 'clean core' that would improve flexibility and reduce labor-intensive operations. This initiative marked a step towards Tapestry's strategic focus on brand-building, customer-centricity, and disciplined execution.
Tapestry, aiming to enhance efficiency within its core enterprise resource planning (ERP) technology, SAP S/4HANA, employed the use of UiPath, a prominent automation solution. With UiPath, the company was able to automate complex and labor-intensive processes within SAP while maintaining the flexibility and integrity of its core system. This allowed for more scalable and efficient operation.

Utilizing UiPath, Tapestry could automate tasks in many operational areas such as finance planning and analysis, cost centers creation, lease management, sales and order reconciliations, store space management, and invoicing. This not only allowed for more efficient operations but also freed up their staff to focus on more intellectual, creative roles and deliver enhanced customer service.
