Puma Retail - Online platform for the retail sector

The ever-growing demands on the online platform developed by syreta for the retail sector have now been met with a new version. Numerous new features, improved usability, and a migration to a new generation of application servers make it possible to improve workflows for our long-standing customer PUMA.

What this new version of the PUMA retail platform demonstrates is a principle that applies to all long-term software projects: a good solution is never finished – it continues to evolve because requirements grow.

PUMA has been a close partner of syreta for years. Over this time, the platform has incorporated many new markets, new processes, and new user groups. That a new version is now available with improved usability, new features, and a move to a more modern application server generation is the logical continuation of this collaboration. We are proud of what has been created together – and curious about what is still to come.

What the PUMA retail platform delivers

The online platform developed by syreta for PUMA’s retail division is far more than a simple information system. It serves as a central management tool for store data worldwide — from managing shop-in-shop areas and controlling advertising and promotional materials to communication between PUMA headquarters and individual retail locations around the globe. That such a platform receives a fundamental overhaul after several years in productive use is not a sign of weakness, but of quality: anyone operating software for years in an international environment learns exactly where the system’s limits lie and what a new version needs to do better.

Version changes in enterprise software – why continuity and innovation belong together

The migration to a new generation of application servers is technically demanding — especially when a platform is in productive use across multiple countries. Downtime is not an option, data migration must work smoothly, and new features must not destabilize existing workflows. For PUMA and syreta, this version change was also an opportunity to fundamentally improve usability and to feed new requirements from day-to-day retail operations directly into the platform. A long-standing customer relationship like the one with PUMA is invaluable in this regard: syreta knows the platform, knows the users, and knows the processes — and can therefore implement changes in a targeted way and with minimal risk.
