The Solution
Making the transition seamless for shoppers and employees
In 1963, Carrefour was the first chain to bring the hypermarket model to France, opening a 2,500 sq m store that offered its customers the previously unseen combination of self-service shelves, a vast range of products, and free parking spaces. Since its foundation, the group has grown into one of the world's largest food retailers and has continued to innovate.
Carrefour Belgium maximizes customer experience with SAP data in BigQuery
Carrefour Belgium’s migration strategy has been to lift and shift its legacy SAP ERP Central Component (ECC) environment before doing a greenfield implementation of S/4HANA on Google Cloud, a process that is already underway. Currently, the HR module has been upgraded to S/4HANA, with retail operations to follow.
