Moreover, the number of companies using exceeded 400. In this issue of Nebim News, I would like to share with you the product strategy of, which constitutes the backbone of Nebim s growth strategy. More Comprehensive and Integrated Taking into consideration the requirements of the retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers, we aimed to provide more industry-specific features in comparison to other ERPs, and therefore to be more comprehensive and to offer all these features integrated on a single ERP platform. was introduced in Enabling operations abroad to be managed from the headquarters in Turkey with the multi-language and local currency support; allowing companies to manage multiple sales channels varying from their own stores to franchise stores, from export operations to e-commerce; providing companies with a functionally much richer product and price management than Nebim Winner thanks to the Merchandise planning applications; real time accounting integration and finance management were among the features rendering comprehensive. To make a comparison with s first edition introduced at the launch in 2011: We have enabled to become more comprehensive with added novelties such as TMS/IFRS support, human resources, export/import applications, a new POS interface, data gathering and cleansing features to enable CRM operations, parametric discount campaigns, combined product and inventory management, richer language support for operations abroad, installment sales and support for after-sales delivery, further out-of-the-box reports and queries, a new financial budgeting application, Dashboards designed according to user roles for business intelligence, and Merchandise Planning applications.

We can name features for eyewear retailers, new mobile applications, e-invoice and e-ledger applications, CRM and CPM features as examples to the applications that we plan to develop until the end of the year. In summary, we are continuing to render more comprehensive in terms of function, the industry, and the countries it supports. Open to Change and Progress Another design principle we targeted as we promoted in 2011 was that easily supports companies to grow and to change their business processes. Therefore, s industry properties and its parametric structure were developed in order to easily conform to the companies changes in business processes, their developing sales channel structures, and increasing product range. continues to adapt to companies increasing rquirements with the integrations effectuated since its launch. Within the last two years, Nebim V3 was integrated with many e-commerce applications such as from Inveon, RND, and Bilginet; 3rd party logistic systems such as Ekol, Conmar, Ulustrans, and Barsan; workflow systems such as eba; analytical platforms like IBM SPSS; door counting systems; secure payment systems like VeriFone VPlatform. Thanks to its open structure and Software Development Kit (API support), continues to grow in the field of openness to change. Faster Implementation s third design principle was its speed of implementation compared to other ERPs. Longside industry-specific features and properties which are based on the software architecture, e.g. the parametric structure, thanks to the Nebim V3 implementation methodology, that covers all project phases from preparation to business analysis, from set-up to user trainings, from system testing to live usage support; it can be rapidly adapted according to companies requirements. In a nutshell, we continue to develop as we remain loyal to the three basic principles that I have summarized above. Hope to see you again on the next issue of Nebim News NEBİM HABER AĞUSTOS 2013

As a group that continues its operations with employees, we took our relationship with Nebim a step further, following a collaboration we have had for many years, and we kicked off the Nebim V3 ERP project. Çamlıca, who don't do these three things. For this, many properties, like well-developed reporting techniques and distribution, feeding, transfer, and the reportability of products, stand out. When compared to last year, the fact that we can reach the data on mobile platforms, instantly, will help us better manage our business. Çamlıca, who also talked about the importance of 's fast and flexible service, and understanding for Orka Group, said, The Nebim team's post-sales loyalty to its customer, and the fact that they have taken notice of all kinds of Şevket Çelikkanat İpekyol Information Technologies and Logistics Director Erkan Arslan Süvari Product Management Expert Cem Mergen Consultant Vedat Şengöz Dagi Accounting Deputy Manager Kerem Topuz North Atlantic Managing Partner Neda Seçkin VeriFone Retail Solutions Sales Director reloaded to and reported.

Merchandise Planning at İpekyol with Supply Chain Director Özlem Tektaş Çelikkanat and Retail Director Onur Tusa Baykal of İpekyol, whose transition to ERP was important news for the industry, shared details of the projects, and the point arrived at in 2013, with Nebim Planet participants. Özlem Tektaş Çelikkanat, who presented first, made an introduction by saying We started using Nebim V3 live in When 2013 arrived, AĞUSTOS 2013 NEBİM HABER 09

12 from nebim we started the Merchandise Planning implementation, of which we had always dreamt. We defined the planning in four main functions: Channel plan, category plan, range plan, and assortment plan. And we divided these functions into two phases. We will start using the first phase, which involves the channel and the category plans, and then the next phase will follow right after that. Onur Tusa Baykal, who joined the presentation at this point, said, For us, one of the interesting aspects of this project was how we would handle the 'Like for Like' concept. At this point, Nebim offered us the 'like-store concept' solution. When we are about to open a new store, as we tell which one of our stores it will resemble, we can immediately see the details on that screen. Baykal continued his speech by saying, Nebim's planning application automatically displayed the sales data that are subject to normalization as if we have sales every week. Nebim developed the possibility to act upon it for special dates, such as holidays and vacation days, according to the course of each week. This way, we have the opportunity to forecast where our plans are headed in the upcoming weeks. We now have a complete normalization process, as we can see how it was last year and and how we must intervene manually this year. Özlem Tektaş Çelikkanat, who took the floor once more, mentioned 's advantageous properties and said, Instead of making all KPI's on gross income, average prices, discounts, and promotions in both channel and category plans, one by one, we can now enter them in one screen and have them used in all of the plans. It is an important property that our category and channel plans match. It is far more practical for us to bring the two plans side by side and to determine the company plan that is aligned with this plan, automatically distributing it to the channels and categories. The Nebim V3 Merchandise Planning application has very flexible, with user-friendly screens where the retail and sales teams can do channel planning separately. İpekyol Retail Director Baykal emphasized the flexibility of and said, Before Nebim V3, we couldn't speak a mutual language when we visited our stores; one store detailed the data with seasons and the other without; we had a problem focusing. Nebim carried us ahead, coming back to us with Dashboards. All the stores started seeing the Dashboards automatically as well. For example, all our managers receive the monthly sales report, simultaneously, so we do not have to create reports over and over. provided us with simplicity on this matter and some product-based conveniences. Çelikkanat, taking the floor for one final time, talked about the Bestseller report they use the most at İpekyol. Çelikkanat concluded her presentation with the statement, We can assign a certain criterion for each product and classify the products as the best, mediocre, and bad with the Bestseller report. The design team, the stores, the visual team, the sales team, and product management all use this report. Before, this was a difficult report to obtain. Even creating it took one hour then. Now it arrives automatically every morning. E-Trade Web Site integrated with at İpekyol Another speaker from İpekyol, Information Technologies and Logistics Director Şevket Çelikkanat shared with the Nebim Planet participants what was required for an e-trade Web site, how the necessary system should be built, and how İpekyol achieved this in integration with ERP, in his presentation. Çelikkanat mentioned that they are proceeding with RND in the visual department and with Ekol Lojistik in shipments, and that these three parties need to be able to work in an integrated manner for the operation to proceed in a healthy manner throughout the sales and post-sales processes. While summarizing the process, Çelikkanat explained that they make automatic transfers from through the product integration; whether the customer is on Nebim V3 is checked on the order; they keep the customer single; send the shipment order to Ekol Lojistik; the 10 NEBİM HABER AĞUSTOS 2013

13 panorama courier is integrated; when the shipment information arrives at RND, it is merged with all the necessary bank information and transferred to ; and all these integrations happen in real time. Product Management at Süvari with and Retailing Abroad The next speaker at Nebim Planet was Product Management Specialist Erkan Arslan from Süvari, which has a total of 108 stores in Turkey and abroad. Arslan began his presentation by mentioning that as Süvari, they started retailing in Arslan said that Süvari, which increased its number of stores after four years and needed a different product range, met Nebim with the requirements for management of campaigns and category groups. Arslan, who talked about the Nebim collaboration that started in 2001 and about the requirements that emerged as a result of the increased number of Süvari's stores at the end of 11 years contributing to their development and growth, said, The reason for our transition to Nebim V3 is Süvari's target of increasing stores abroad by the year We were aiming to create a big impact with instant touches on the operations abroad, just like we do domestically. In that sense, Nebim V3's multi-language option, and the local currencies abroad capability geared us towards. Now, our stores in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine can complete the transactions much faster with their own alphabets on POS and Store screens. They also have the opportunity to work with local currencies. For example, a transaction completed in Russia, using rubles, can be seen in TL at headquarters. Next, Arslan elaborated on the Discount Campaign application, which is an important application for Süvari. He talked about the multiple campaign options and the capability that makes it possible to simultaneously manage different campaigns at different locations. He continued his presentation by discussing the Product Restock and Transfer transactions and informed capability: We encountered these (functions) regarding the need to gather all the missing products in one store. The capability enables us to restock all the size breakdowns in the stores that have accelerated sales, with one small touch. Before, we could complete the shipment process in 48 hours by obtaining the data from 150 Excel tables, one by one. After 's Product Allocation application entered our lives, we decreased this duration to 24 hours. It saves us a significant amount of time. Arslan, who finally talked about the projects they are currently running with, concluded his presentation with the words, Another project we are running with Nebim is planning. We have a big operation regarding campaigns, with stock codes, on a stock code basis, and RPT and transfer projects. One of our biggest objectives is to be able to give information about these operations at Nebim Planet 2014, after we complete them. The Knacks of Information Management in Retail from Cem Mergen Cem Mergen, an expert trainer in the retail world, made a point of the importance of making decisions based on numbers and information during his presentation, called Managing Information in Retail. Cem Mergen, who talked about the relations between the speed and quality of decision making and the success and the risks taken, later mentioned the knacks of analysis processes. Mergen shared with the participants the importance of categorization and classification, as well as comparison and elimination in the analysis process. Finance Management and Accounting at Dagi with Dagi Accounting Deputy Manager started his presentation with the assessment, Dagi and Nebim's encounter happened due to the need for faster data management, with the increase in the manufacturing and business volume in AĞUSTOS 2013 NEBİM HABER 11

14 from nebim We determined that Nebim was the software company that could best meet these needs. In the beginning of 2012, we started using, live, at all our sales points and in all our processes. In April, we started using it, integrated with manufacturing and supply. We use at every point in all the processes of our brand from its manufacturing, its raw material, to its sales. Şengöz, who mentioned the importance of controlling the balance in the cost center usage, as well as presentation of the data to the management in a report, after being compared and checked, indicated that supported them on this matter. Şengöz said, We can say that we were saved from pages of trial balance, thanks to. We managed to distribute the costs of departments, such as finance, human resources, administrative affairs, which we call the Back office within our headquarters, and where we follow up on the costs of the points-of-sale at our headquarters, our stores and our branches separately, to these departments, taking their share from the revenue of the sales points with the properly assigned ratio. Looking at the items to be distributed, we were able to allocate them automatically, based on the turnover or the cost of the goods sold, depending upon how we would like to have it, also indicating the subbreakdowns of the cost centers located in our headquarter offices. We detailed all the sales, the turnovers, the expenses, and the expense portions that those points receive from the headquarters by creating a cost center hierarchy structure. Şengöz talked about another project that increased the productivity on the financial side and summarized, All our bank transactions, such as money orders, electronic funds transfers, depositing money, withdrawing money, are run through. We integrated the sales by the POS used at our sales points with. We can check whether there are any mistakes in the bank commission amount, or the service charges, by comparing the future and past POS revenues and creating reports to present to management. Şengöz, who finally mentioned another project that is very important for Dagi, shared the details, Account aging and closing off debts and receivables was a very important project for us. We can obtain the past and the future balance of the customer's term in detail, and cumulatively, with the aging report. This way, our colleagues, both in the finance and marketing departments, can check this report to see when the term of the collection from the customer is due and when the past term was, separately and in detail. During audits, when the auditors ask us for reports, we can create them in, instead of in Excel, and very easily present them. CRM and The Importance of Knowing The Customer From North Atlantic The second part of Nebim Planet started with the presentation called CRM and The Importance of Knowing The Customer in Retail by Kerem Topuz, the Managing Partner of North Atlantic, which is a consultancy firm in the field of CRM. Topuz defined CRM as an approach to understand the impact of a customer's behavior and how to increase the company's value by understanding the value of the customer base.
