Qatar-based Sports Corner, a retailer of top sports and fitness brands, will integrate Epicor enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution with its existing retail point of sale (POS) solution across all of its 12 branches in the country.

Sports Corner will specifically implement Epicor ERP supply chain management and financial management modules. ICTUS Projects, a member of the Epicor Inspired Partner Network, worked with Sports Corner during the selection process and secured the Epicor ERP win, a statement said.

“Epicor ERP was the obvious choice for us because of its ability to efficiently integrate our key business processes, quickly generate reports, support our management team's decision making and strengthen our supply chain through enhanced tracking,” said Meer Hasham Ali, head of Finance for Sports Corner.

“This system will be integral to the smooth running of our retail operations across the country. Epicor ERP also stood out because of its ease of use, out-of-the-box functionality and next-generation technology.”

“Sports Corner has been a trusted name in Qatar’s sporting industry for over two decades so its adoption of Epicor ERP is a great achievement,” said Jawad Squalli, regional vice president for Epicor in the Middle East.

“Qatar is shaping up to be a major player in the region’s rapidly expanding IT space so we are eyeing strategic deployments such as this one to further strengthen our presence in the local market,” he added.

Sports Corner has been supplying Qatar’s sports and fitness industry since 1979 and represents prestigious global brands such as adidas, Champion, Paramount, Lotto, Body-Solid and Stiga.
