SAP CAR (Customer Activity Repository Applications Bundle) powered by HANA

SAP Customer Activity Repository is a foundation that collects transactional data that was previously spread over multiple independent applications in diverse formats. The repository provides a common foundation and a harmonized multichannel transaction data model for all consuming applications.

Retailers can use SAP Customer Activity Repository to gradually transform their system landscapes from traditional database technology to the revolutionary, in-memory database technology.

SAP Customer Activity Repository includes the following features:

  • POS Data Transfer and Audit (POS Data Management)
  • Multichannel Sales Repository (MCSR)
  • Multichannel Sales Analytics
  • Inventory Visibility Analytics
  • On-Shelf Availability
  • Predictive capabilities, leveraging the Demand Data Foundation (DDF) and Unified Demand Forecast (UDF)

      Hello,

      Can the SAP Customer Activity Repository (CAR) be used with standard S / 4 HANA ERP as well as SAP for Retail?

      Hi Kenji,

       

      When you say S/4 HANA are you referring to without the retail switch activated?

      Anyway it depends on your use case. If you tell me the high level scenario I may be able to confirm for you.

       

      Regards,

      Kyle
