Toy Store Multiple Inventory Counts Due to Moving to SAP Software
A Spanish company founded by a group of small toy makers in 1975 that operates under the cooperative regime, required the support of RGIS. It currently has 54 members. With 256 points of sale distributed throughout the Spanish geography, it has positioned itself as the first retail chain in Spain within the Spanish toy and game sector, thanks to an offer that includes more than 6,000 product references, including those that belong to its 16 own brands that it distributes exclusively.
With a staff of more than 1,100 employees and more than 110,000m2 of retail space, the toy retailer has established itself as one of the main retail chains in the toy sector in Spain, with more than 8% market share.
