Relaxo Footwears Takes Huge Strides to Improve SAP User ManagementOct 19, 2017  —  

Relaxo Footwears Limited -- the largest footwear manufacturer in India -- produces roughly 600,000 pairs of shoes each day, which are sold through 900 distributors promoting 11 brands and 300 retail outlets in 125 cities across the country.
