Managing master data in the Retail and Fashion business is tremendously challenging. For most SAP customers, the creation and change of articles remains a very inefficient, manual process. Most retailers still utilize email and spreadsheets with no clear data ownership and little transparency into the process.

Utopia’s Retail and Fashion Management solution extension includes pre-configured data structures, industry templates, best practices, workflows, and user interfaces, specifically for Retail master data objects.

MDG-RFM is the only commercially available solution that addresses the retailer’s biggest challenges related to the management of the article and its attributes. This solution is a critical implementation step for any company considering a migration to SAP S/4HANA.
