Aldata Solution To Supply G.O.L.D. To Auchan France

September 15th, 2006 Aldata has reached an agreement with Auchan on the supply of G.O.L.D. software for replenishment optimisation.

Auchan France has decided to implement G.O.L.D. Topase, Aldata’s replenishment optimisation solution, throughout its French warehousing operations with the possibility of extending this to the rest of Europe in the future. The pilot is planned to be completed in 2006 and the full rollout is planned to take place in 2007. The project is managed by a dedicated Auchan business team and Aldata is providing delivery and support services.

Auchan selected G.O.L.D. Topase after an extensive study of the solutions available in the market. A significant factor in the decision was Aldata’s experience in retail and the fact that G.O.L.D. Topase is operationally well-established for both food and non-food products. The Aldata G.O.L.D. Topase solution was felt to be the most suited to the desired business objectives of stock level optimisation and replenishment productivity.

Founded in 1961, Auchan is today one of the world’s leading retail groups. It is established in 11 countries across the world with a workforce of 175,000. Auchan has two retail trading formats: hypermarkets and supermarkets.
