Oracle Corporation has announced that Academy Sports + Outdoors has implemented Oracle Retail solutions to reportedly create an IT architecture that could keep pace with the company's expansion. Earlier 2015, the retailer completed its move to a full suite of integrated, standards-based Oracle solutions including Oracle Retail Merchandising System, Oracle Retail Price Management, Oracle Retail Sales Audit, Oracle Retail Invoice Matching, Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting, Oracle Retail Store Inventory Management, and Oracle Retail Allocation. The Oracle Retail solutions created an opportunity for Academy Sports + Outdoors to document and streamline legacy system integrations and upgrade processes based on modern best practices.

The resulting foundational data model and integration architecture ensures faster adaptability and scalability for the future. This implementation gives Academy Sports + Outdoors the flexibility to upgrade and add new capabilities more readily, which in turn allows the company to efficiently optimize inventory and margins across regions and channels.
