 "BSI Implements ERP Soln For JK Helene Curtis")
Blue Star Infotech, a software solutions and service provider, has successfully implemented Microsoft Dynamics’ IT solutions for JK Helene Curtis (JKHC), a player in the personal grooming industry and part of the Raymond Group. The solution is based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV 4.0, a business management solution for companies. The ERP solution will help JK Helene Curtis meet its expansion needs and streamline the current business processes.
JKHC required a comprehensive IT solution to address its business needs, which included:
• Improving the revenue (20 percent year-on-year) and achieving better bottom line
• Increasing product portfolio to increase market share
• Flexible pricing policies to cater to the growing retail customer segment
• Analysing the forecast v/s actual need and hence, maintaining minimal inventory levels
• Accessing real-time sales data for making quick decisions, which could be based on product mix or regional/ zonal performance
With the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics Nav 4.0, JKHC is now equipped to meet challenges posed by business growth. Most processes are online at the head office in Mumbai and across warehouse locations and offices. With the help of the IT solution, the company benefitted largely in extracting information on a real-time basis. JKHC teams sometimes had to wait for facts and figures till the end of the week or the month. With Microsoft Dynamics replacing the legacy, teams can now perform critical functions like account closing and MIS well within time.
“We worked very closely with Blue Star Infotech – our IT partner, right from the stage of business case preparation. On time and within budget completion of project and realisation of business benefits within a year, have proven the trust we have for each other. Our choice of Microsoft Dynamics Nav was driven by simple user interfaces, low risk in implementation and quick realisation of RoI,” said Vinay Hinge, GM - IT, JK Helene Curtis.
“The deployment of Microsoft Dynamics Nav enabled JK Helene Curtis to quickly automate their key processes, and created a platform for business growth,” said Satish Gaonkar, vice president – Consulting Services Practice, Blue Star Infotech.
“We are happy that JK Helene Curtis has successfully implemented ERP solution on Microsoft Dynamics Nav 4.0 to meet their growing business needs. The company operates in a vibrant industry and, accordingly, its needs are both unique and intricate. The flexibility of our solution has enabled our partner, Blue Star Infotech, to tailor the solution and meet the requirements of JK Helene Curtis, helping them manage their complex operations better,” said Sushant Dwivedy, director - Microsoft Dynamics.
