“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.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
