THANK YOU

THANK YOU

Click and Collect• 380 stores by February 2016• 70% of e-commerce sales• Initially only 50% were picked up by consumers• 185 stores with next-morning replenishment from the

distribution center (sales up to 9 p.m. were replenished to the stores by 8 a.m. the next morning).

• Expected a 20%+ increase in net profits by converting existing orders.

• Six strong store managers with five-plus years of retail experience to act as change agents.

15

RFID implementation• RFID was launched in October 2015 in five pilot • 5,000-piece inventory of an entire store counted with

99% accuracy in 45 minutes and the average on-floor availability 96%

• 100 stores live by May 2016, • 500 stores by the end of 2016. • The team also added RFID capabilities to the

distribution center:• 100% accuracy of 97% of cartons• Shrinkage reduced by 40% (€2 million)• Leaner inventories and reduced the need for working capital.

16

Ship from Store implementation• May 2016, over 100 stores, 350-plus by the end of 2016. • SFS fast and accurate: from order placement to pick and

pack 30 minutes• SFS 4% of retail sales and as much as 10% in some stores.

Stores were processing 25% of home-delivery orders in the pilot regions.

• In most cases, orders were delivered the next day, or within two days for faraway places, versus three to seven days previously.

• SFS reduced delivery costs in the pilot regions by about 50%

• Expected a 10% to 20% boost in sales due to the increased size availability

• Initially, store staff resisted preparing items for shipment because they were waiting to see if they could sell them in store but “burns stock down, which means we can sell it at the full price rather than mark it down at the end of the season.”

Endless Aisle• New EA capability piloted in 30 stores by 2015• 120 by May 2016. • 600 by the end of 2016
