Case Study: Kao achieves faster, more efficient sales order processing with BearingPoint's iPad app

Kao saves sales reps 2 hours a day with BearingPoint's iPad sales order app

The global luxury hair and skincare company Kao faced sales and distribution challenges due to a legacy sales order-entry tool that was not connected to its SAP ERP system. This outdated process slowed order fulfillment and delivery. Kao engaged the consulting firm BearingPoint to create a better mobile sales solution.

BearingPoint performed a full analysis and then supported the integration of a custom sales order entry app built on the Mendix platform, connecting it to Kao's SAP backend. This iPad solution provided real-time inventory lookup for sales reps. As a result, BearingPoint's work saved sales representatives two hours per day, enabled quicker shipments, and facilitated over 350,000 sales orders through the app after its launch.
