The Tile Shop is a leading specialty retailer of man-made and natural stone tiles, setting and maintenance materials, and related accessories in the United States. The Tile Shop currently operates 143 stores in 31 states and the District of Columbia, with an average size of 20,000 square feet.

Since its founding in 1985, The Tile Shop has committed to offering a wide selection of high-quality products, expert staff, and amazing customer service. As The Tile Shop has a long commitment to viewing customers as partners, they were looking to improve their customer experience, automate the sales and order process, and increase their margin on sales. After years of initiatives, homegrown products, and multiple POS solutions, The Tile Shop found DataXstream and OMS+.

After previously investing in a Point of Sale (POS) solution, The Tile Shop found that the solution did not integrate with their order management solution, leaving a siloed system in its place. This disparate approach caused The Tile Shop to strip down to their core SAP ERP – attempting to utilize the cash drawer and payment configuration, resulting in an unsustainable process. The Tile Shop needed a solution that could bring these disparate solutions together.

The Tile Shop recognized the need for greater visibility across the supply chain, improved upselling for a better customer experience, and a high-performance order management solution that meets both growth and performance goals.

DataXstream OMS+ is an advanced order management and point-of-sale solution that leverages SAP data to help your business run better. OMS+ allowed for real-time interaction with the supply chain and significantly reduced system support costs. Built and deployed on SAP®’s Cloud Platform, OMS+ when paired with SAP®’s S/4 HANA, Business Suite for HANA, S/4HC EX or ECC, provided further real-time insight into call centers and products. No other order management / POS product on the market achieves this level of visibility at scale.

Discovering the right solution on SAP APP Store helped The Tile Shop upgrade its order-management system.

OMS+ improves the customer experience, increases order accuracy, reduces the Cost to Service by processing orders faster and shortening the order processing cycle, and minimizing training time for new sales associates.
