Case Study: Sally Beauty modernizes ERP reporting with Tahola

An ERP system in need of a makeover

Sally Beauty worked with Tahola as their legacy IBM AS400 ERP system became outdated and could no longer support business growth or new reporting needs. As part of its digital transformation, Sally Beauty needed a modern replacement for its finance and reporting environment, including a new data and analytics foundation.

Tahola delivered a SQL Server data warehouse and IBM Cognos Analytics reporting solution, integrating data from Microsoft AX, Slimstock, WMS, and JDA while preserving historical data. The implementation went live over a weekend with no reporting disruption, expanded business reporting, improved the speed of critical information production, and supported future Europe-wide integration planning.
