News Facts

    footwear brands including UGG(R) Australia and Teva(R), has
    implemented a broad suite of Oracle Retail Merchandising, Planning and
    Stores Solutions to centralize and improve operations as the company
    drives global Direct to Consumer (DTC) expansion across multiple
    brands and channels.
--  With more than 70 UGG concept and outlet stores worldwide and plans to
    grow to more than 200 in the next five years, Deckers is using the
    Oracle Retail platform to help streamline operations and, improve
    performance. Deckers goal is to provide consumers with a seamless,
    consistent experience in stores and online.

Actionable Insight Boosts Store Performance

 
--  Deckers is using the Oracle Retail platform to glean real-time insight
    into item and store sales, which helps the DTC team to forecast demand
    more accurately and to promote and allocate inventory accordingly.

    single, integrated platform, Deckers has a more complete view of
    global sales and the tools to localize assortments, pricing and
    promotions based on consumer preferences, groups of stores and
    regions.
--  Replacing a collection of separate regional systems with a single,
    scalable platform also enabled Deckers to standardize transactional
    data to simplify integration and avoiding increased maintenance and
    support costs as complexity grows.
--  Deckers completed the implementation including deployment to stores in
    North America and Europe in 15 months and in 2013 will deploy the
    point-of-sale, central and back office system to stores in China and
    Japan.

    merchandising and stores platform, equipping the business to
    continually optimize performance and improve the customer experience
    across all channels.
