Manthan Systems Foray's Into Asia

Manthan Systems, an Indian software product vendor, recently announced its entry in Asia with the Philippine retail conglomerate Robinsons Retail group as its first customer in the region. Robinsons will implement ARC retail business intelligence platform across its multiple retail store brands.

ARC is a retail data warehouse and an integrated BI suite specifically architected for the retail industry. Robinsons operates several retail store brands including Robinsons Department Store, Robinsons Supermarket and Robinsons Appliances.

Speaking about why Robinsons chose ARC, Thelma G Roxas, vice-president and CIO said, “Among several characteristics of the ARC solution, we found its data model driven retail-centricity to be a key differentiator and of significant value to our retail businesses. In a proof of concept, we found our business users unanimously favouring ARC’s rich analytical environment, its actionable utilities and easy-to-use user interfaces to other options.” He further mentioned that ARC’s pre-built enterprise connectivity with its key operational system - the JDA ERP platform, Data Warehouse scalability and its ability to be deployed rapidly have proved to be major advantages.

Anand Sri Ganesh, director of marketing at Manthan Systems said, “We are extremely delighted to have extended ARC’s success in the North American and European market to Philippines through a successful partner network. We hope to replicate this success by bringing the best of retail business intelligence to other markets in the Asia Pacific region."
