Podruzhka Brings Strategic Pricing Approach to Russian Drugstore Market
Specialty Retailer Creates Market Agility with Oracle Retail Solutions and Veltio Integration
Redwood Shores, Calif.—Aug 28, 2018
https://www.oracle.com/corporate/pressrelease/oracle-retail-podruzhka-082818.html
Specialty retailer Podruzhka has deployed Oracle Retail Planning and Optimization to engage and grow a loyal customer base with competitive pricing. With the help of Oracle Partner Network Platinum Partner Veltio, Podruzhka streamlined a pricing process that offered automation, best practices and flexibility to respond to the market demand with Oracle Retail solutions. Podruzhka had previously implemented Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting and Veltio Allocation and Execution solutions which led the retailer to further their investment as they sought to improve the accuracy and agility of their pricing strategy.
Podruzhka is uniquely positioned within the Russian drugstore market with 210 stores catered to providing women with inexpensive personal care products, cosmetics, perfumes, jewelry, accessories and cleaning products. Each Podruzhka store carries up to 15,000 SKUs within a compact 140-180 square meter footprint in residential areas, establishing the drugstore as a local staple.
“In the Oracle Retail 4-Dimensions of Retail research, we discovered that 84% of global consumers say that competitive pricing and promotions first and foremost are the most important aspect of their shopping experience,” said Chris James, Vice President EMEA, Oracle Retail. “In Russia, market conditions can change quickly and with Oracle Retail Podruzhka has created ability to manage multiple price zones that appeal to the consumer in the moment of intent.”
“With our responsive pricing approach, we hope to increase customer loyalty through competitive pricing and selling opportunities while respecting the financial targets of the company,” said Alexander Golubev, IT Director, Podruzhka. “Oracle Retail provided us with an industry rich solution with flexibility and scale. Veltio delivered the implementation on-time and on-budget with a deep understanding our business needs.”
“This project was a great milestone for Veltio in the Russian market by highlighting the opportunity of Oracle Retail solutions in regional context. Local market conditions and the crash of the ruble forced Russian retailers to start thinking more about the efficiencies offered by advanced pricing, assortment and supply chain management,” said Kostya Prays, EMEA Business Development Director, Veltio. “We are happy to help retailers like Podruzhka leverage this technology to find a competitive advantage.”

O'STIN Press Release
23/04/2018
Partner Veltio Parlays Data Science and Oracle Demand Forecasting to Automate Manual Inventory Fulfillment Process
Today, Oracle announced that O’STIN has deployed Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting, Oracle Retail Planning & Optimization and Veltio APX Supply Chain Planning to create a product replenishment program that proactively anticipates customer demand. With the Oracle Retail and Veltio integration O’STIN sought to improve the effectiveness of inventory fulfillment across 700 stores throughout Russia to better meet customer demand while protecting profitability. Veltio, an Oracle Partner Network Platinum Partner, drove the implementation resulting in a more accurate planning process that can anticipate consumer demand.
“Disparate silos of customer information, store and product performance prevent retailers from having accurate inventory forecasts,” said Chris James, Vice President, Oracle Retail. “Without this holistic perspective brands risk significant decreased margins by having to continually discount inventory to make room for new seasonal merchandise.”
Prior to the upgrade, O’STIN merchants personally managed a 90,000 line product matrix that included the store, style and color. O’STIN management would manually calculate stock levels for each SKU at every store for the previous four weeks, magnifying a scalability problem as the brand operated at the speed of fast fashion.
“The most effective stock level decisions are based on product performance and stock position. The combined Oracle Retail Planning & Optimization complemented by Veltio APX empowers our planning team to better forecast consumer demand and increase their productivity through automation and exception-based reporting. Now we can rely on data science to predict and automate replenishment based on future sales forecasts,” said Prosvirnin Nikolay, Head of Allocation and Replenishment teams, O’STIN.
“By tuning the high-level replenishment parameters, we optimized inventory to hold the right amount of safety stock to meet consumer expectations and manage the end of season inventory,” said Grechin Sergey, Assortment and Planning Director, O’STIN. “In 18 months, we have rolled out the solution to all stores in Russia, Belorussia and Kazakhstan with Veltio.”
“With the ability to directly integrate with Oracle solutions like Oracle Retail Assortment Planning and Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting in a single deployment, Veltio provides clients like O’STIN with an easy-to-use tool that offers increased automation to help predict product lifecycles, size and store split, and initial allocation quantities to feed the supply chain,” said Costas Malamas, Managing Partner, Veltio.
Implementation Benefits:
- Oracle Retail’s Planning and Optimization suite empowers planning teams to combine disparate data sources, including performance, market, and vendor, and leverage retail science to drive intelligent and localized assortments without the increased overhead of full-time data scientists.
- Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting allows retailers to centralize demand forecasts for their omnichannel enterprise — from operations and vendor collaboration to planning and optimization to marketing and insights — accurately and efficiently.
- Veltio APX Supply Chain Planning is a set of Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server components developed that provide advanced allocation, replenishment and execution functionality. Exclusive to Veltio, this cutting-edge retail science can allocate stock to stores using simple or complex packs while optimizing ROI. Veltio APX calculates order quantities at multiple tiers of the supply chain and can create purchase orders at all tiers to be executed by downstream systems.
