CONGRATULATIONS TO BQ FOOTWEAR ON KICKING OFF THEIR ERP SAP BUSINESS ONE IMPLEMENTATION JOURNEY WITH CMC CONSULTING

On May 4th, 2024, in Da Nang, the signing ceremony for the ERP SAP Business One (SAP B1) project between BQ Production - Trading Company Limited and CMC Consulting Company Limited took place successfully. The implementation of SAP Business One, a comprehensive and internationally standardized enterprise resource planning system, will empower BQ to optimize operational processes, manage information centrally and transparently, and provide effective decision-making tools. This project marks a significant step in the company's digital transformation journey, aiming towards sustainable development and affirming the position of the BQ brand in the market.

BQ is the leading footwear brand in Central Vietnam with the mission of delivering "Best Quality" to consumers. After more than 20 years of continuous efforts to expand its operations, BQ footwear is now present in 43 provinces and cities with a network of over 200 stores and dealers nationwide. This rapid growth, along with the extensive network, has also placed significant pressure on the company's management system. Fragmented processes and a complex information system resulted in untimely information updates between departments, leading to confusion and errors. These challenges hindered the collection and preparation of statistical and management reports, impacting the decision-making of the company's Board of Directors.

At the ceremony, Mr. Phan Hai, Director of BQ and Head of the ERP Project Steering Committee, shared the company's vision and development strategy. After 20 years of establishment and growth, BQ is entering a new phase with greater aspirations. Despite achieving certain successes, Mr. Phan Hai acknowledged that BQ remains a modest brand compared to the vast potential of the 100-million-people Vietnamese market. He believes that the application of information technology, particularly the ERP management system, will be a strategic step for BQ to enhance management capacity, control risks, and achieve sustainable development, reaching further goals in the future.

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thuyet, Consulting Expert and Deputy Head of the ERP Project Steering Committee, also shared his thoughts at the ceremony. He mentioned that 15 years ago, he had the opportunity to discuss with Mr. Phan Hai the importance of ERP systems for business development. Choosing the right solution and a reputable provider are crucial factors for successful implementation. Mr. Thuyet believes that after careful consideration, BQ's leadership team made the right decision in choosing CMC Consulting as their strategic partner. The company highly appreciates CMC Consulting's capabilities and experience in ERP implementation and trusts that close collaboration between the two parties will be the key to ensuring project success.

The SAP B1 solution implemented for BQ integrates essential modules such as purchasing, sales, inventory, retail chain management, and finance & accounting, along with the company's existing Haravan, Kiot Viet, e-invoice, and CRM systems. Additionally, the system provides detailed management reports and intuitive dashboards, enabling BQ's leaders to easily track key business indicators and make timely and accurate decisions. This integration promises to bring transparency, efficiency, and optimization to all of the company's activities, from purchasing and sales management to inventory control, financial management, and customer care. The new system not only ensures information security and accessibility but also eliminates duplicate data entry, minimizes errors and risks, and provides accurate and timely data for analysis and reporting.

In this strategic collaboration, BQ and CMC Consulting believe that the ERP SAP B1 project will be a resounding success, contributing to BQ becoming a leading footwear brand in Vietnam and expanding further into the international market. The event demonstrates BQ's commitment as a pioneer in Da Nang in applying technology to enhance operational efficiency and affirms CMC Consulting's reputation as a provider of comprehensive digital transformation solutions for businesses.
