Delivering a unified experience for multiple brands

Knack Systems has been part of the ongoing digital eCommerce transformation initiative for Pentland Brands since 2017. We designed a global template and delivered a B2B commerce solution for over 5,000 distributors at Pentland in under six months. Once the template and foundation was set, each brand was brought on in 8- to 12-week increments. In less than a year, all brands were operational on SAP Commerce for B2B with integration to backend ERP.

The Knack Systems team also launched B2C solution for Pentland's brands, such as Endura Sports and Ellesse, is rolling-out in multiple countries. The initiative included multiple languages, currencies, and backend SAP integration for order fulfillment, logistics, reverse logistics, and more.

Re-platforming from multiple disparate custom platforms to SAP Commerce Cloud enabled Pentland to deliver an integrated, unified digital brand experience to their B2B and B2C customers. Knack Systems collaborated with Pentland Brands to develop a consolidated internal digital Center of Excellence for the organization, which allowed Pentland to in-source their eCommerce support and create a cohesive digital team.

Furthermore, Pentland Brands experienced a reduction in customer inquiries and fulfillment errors as a result of the backend integrations.

Knack Systems also implemented one of it's unique solution - SeasonOne. With this solution,  Pentland brands' B2B customers can view stocks real-time, order and stock-up in a few clicks, have easier access to all brands and manage accounts easily.
