Sally Beauty Holdings Taps Perficient to Expand Product Fulfillment Options

Perficient, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRFT) (“Perficient”), the leading global digital consultancy transforming the world’s largest enterprises and biggest brands, today announced the successful implementation of its advanced order management system (OMS) and commerce experience for Sally Beauty Holdings, the leader in professional hair color. The solution incorporates multiple order fulfillment capabilities, enabling Sally Beauty Holdings to efficiently meet the needs of its customers amid the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

To help improve visibility and flexibility of Sally Beauty Holdings’ ordering process, Perficient implemented an IBM Sterling OMS platform to allow for split shipment and automation capabilities while also seamlessly integrating with Sally Beauty Holdings’ existing technologies and websites. This implementation resulted in more advanced fulfillment options and shipping processes. In collaboration with Sally Beauty Holdings, Perficient built a digital roadmap and strategy to elevate the omni-channel commerce experience by incorporating a same-day delivery option and new sales channel opportunities with third-party marketplaces for Cosmo Prof, the retailer’s professional division.

Perficient and Sally Beauty Holdings developed additional fulfillment capabilities to proactively address emerging supply chain challenges and give customers the ability to receive their orders even faster. These improvements included:

• A new ship-from-store ecommerce option currently available at 245 participating Sally Beauty stores;
• Over 2 million shipments have been released from stores since the ship-from-store ecommerce option launched in February 2020;
• Same-day delivery offerings were expanded and are currently available at 1,046 participating Cosmo Prof stores; and
• More than 42,000 shipments have been released from stores since the same-day delivery program launched in December 2019.

“The pandemic quickly shifted our focus to online commerce and alternative fulfillment processes,” said Joe Condomina, Chief Technology Officer, Sally Beauty Holdings. “We knew it would be a tough process, but it hasn’t been difficult. We deployed the technology cloud-first, using the plumbing we already had in place. As a result of the structure of our team and a rock-solid implementation from Perficient, we’ve been able to deploy very quickly.”
