European luxury off-price fashion marketplace with invitation-only membership model
BESTSECRET operates a closed-membership e-commerce platform connecting premium fashion brands to luxury discount shoppers across 27 European countries. The tech stack is heavily SAP-native (S/4HANA, MM, SD, WM, EWM, PI/PO), with recent adoption of Anaplan and Microsoft 365 — a pattern reflecting operational scaling in supply planning and enterprise resource management. Active projects span supply planning solutions, ERP-logistics integration, and advanced ETL pipelines, while pain points cluster around planning accuracy, overstock clearing at scale, and price-change management across 300k+ SKUs, suggesting infrastructure strain as the business grows beyond its profitable baseline.
