Crafting Brilliance: Equation’s Role in Hera Couture’s Global Bridal Evolution
Navigating Complexity: Achieving Clear Direction
Hera Couture, a distinguished bridal fashion design, retail, and wholesaling business that has grown organically over 15 years, found itself facing new complexities as it expanded across multiple countries and currencies. With an ever-growing inventory and a diverse international clientele, the traditional ways of managing operations were no longer sufficient.
A Strategic Shift: Embracing Cin7 with High Hopes
To streamline their order management, Hera Couture selected Cin7 Omni for its ideal balance of sophistication and pricing. However, the initial implementation partner’s subpar onboarding left them simply shifting their existing processes onto a new tool. This misstep not only heightened business risks but also failed to deliver the critical insights needed to truly understand and manage their operations.
Finding the Solution: Equation’s Transformative Intervention
Realising the need for a turnaround, Hera Couture turned to Equation. They engaged Nicole to address the onboarding challenges and to institute best practices for data management. Over nearly a year, Equation helped to realign their systems, ensuring that the data now accurately reflects the true state of the business.
With Equation’s guidance, Hera Couture achieved:
✔ A revised workflow that integrated best practices.
✔ Clean, reliable data that provided a true and accurate picture of their operations.
✔ Enhanced visibility into financials, enabling smarter strategic decisions and reduced business risks.
Achieving Excellence Through Perseverance
When asked about their experience with Equation, the Hera Couture team had this to say:
“We engaged Nicole to help us overcome our substandard onboarding to Cin7, to teach the team best practices and to fix our data to more accurately reflect the actual state of the business. This was not a small undertaking, and we suspect that many other consultancies would have told us to start afresh. Nicole didn't. She committed to seeing this through over a period of almost a year and got us to a very good state. We now have a clearer understanding of our margins, asset and liability positions, enabling more accurate cash flow forecasting, which helps us make strategic decisions and plan ahead.
"We are immensely grateful. Nicole is very responsive and always has time for us, no matter how trivial the questions are. Highly recommended!”
