"So we had deadlines, we had needs, it was crazy, but Introv got things done"

As the pioneering luxury brand from China, Shanghai Tang now runs an international network of 48 boutiques, including two mega-flagships: the Shanghai Tang Mansion on Duddell Street in Hong Kong and the Cathay Mansion in Shanghai.

The brand started as a bespoke tailoring atelier in 1994, with a mission to be the global curator of modern Chinese chic, drawing the legendary craftsmanship of traditional Shanghainese tailoring and rich fabrics to craft impeccably cut clothing.

“We have different subsidiaries across the world but the main office is in Hong Kong, so most of the operations are running in Hong Kong or also for other subsidiaries. One-World really helps us out a lot.”

– Riccardo Mastellone, Transformation Manager, Shanghai Tang

Challenges:

• All existing business applications were scattered and not well-integrated. The company lacked a single platform to centralise all operation processes.

• Due to change of ownership, the company decided to rebuild the entire ecosystem of business applications, from ERP to accounting, CRM, POS and loyalty systems.

• Tight project deadline was the major challenge. The entire ERP platform needed to be completed in 3 months’ time.

Project Goals:

• To build a single platform which centralises and synchronises all operation processes

• To enable Hong Kong headquarter to manage all subsidiaries around the world
