Unlocking Team Potential: Elevate Before Expanding

“Our goal is to understand and deliver on the needs of the business. As an organization, we needed a partner who could deliver best in class retail functionality in the cloud. We chose Oracle to deliver a scalable and flexible solution,” said Jim Dunlap, chief information officer, Kendra Scott.

“Kendra Scott is a rising star in the jewelry business in large part because it focuses on delivering a unique product, with unmatched customer service. By deploying a modern retail platform, the growing boutique chain can operationalize this focus; placing the customer at the center of decision-making,” said Mike Webster, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Retail.

Kendra Scott chose Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) Gold level member, Logic information Systems to deploy Oracle Retail Merchandising Cloud Service, Oracle Retail Insights Cloud Service, Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service and Oracle Retail Customer Engagement Cloud Service.

“Kendra Scott was experiencing exponential growth, which required a faster time to market with new boutiques. During the initiative, named ‘Project Shine,’ our goal was to help the retailer quickly adopt the new technology and industry best practices to support their business and meet key business priorities as they scaled. Working in close collaboration with the customer and Oracle, we were able to configure a next-generation platform to fuel Kendra Scott’s continued growth,” said Amber Naqvi, president, Logic Information System.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
