R²i Express: Rapid Deployment and Benefits

The Client

Toni & Guy USA, provides hair-care services in 250 salons around the world. Additionally, TIGI Linea® Inc., a division of Toni & Guy, manufactures and distributes high-end hair-care and cosmetic products.

The Challenge

To accommodate rapid growth and optimize its business systems, Toni & Guy asked BearingPoint to help implement Oracle® Applications eBusiness Suite to replace its existing fragmented system.

The Solution

BearingPoint helped optimize business process by integrating Oracle Applications models, implementing a back-office inventory system to help with rapid growth, and integrating Oracle applications with the SalonBiz® Point of Sale System (an intelligent case register connected to back-office systems); with minimal disruption to the current the business environment in terms of time, cost, and risk.

The Toni & Guy complex manufacturing system required an integrated scalable enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. BearingPoint’s industry-focused team applied R²i Rapid Return on InvestmentSM and R²i Express methodology to the implementation and upgrade and completed the project in less than five months.

The Benefits

Without R²i Express, the implementation would have doubled the time and cost of the project. Now Toni & Guy’s fully integrated system will easily handle surges in growth over the next five to ten years, with upgrades as warranted. Other benefits realized include: an accelerated ebusiness suite with minimal risk, enhanced functionality, greater scalability with robust Sun hardware, reduced shipping process lead-time, improved process quality, greater visibility across the fulfillment process, and enhanced customer service.
