Mehran Enterprises, popularly known for their "Just for Men" brand of hair colors, Kryolan make-ups and the Femina institute, besides others, came into existence in 1989 with its Head Office in Karachi, and has its regional office in Lahore and Zonal offices in all the major cities of Pakistan.
Mehran Enterprises has a robust distribution network comprising of around 118 distributors in more than 87 cities. The company also has coverage of the major segment of Beauty Salons & Men’s Salons all over Pakistan, through a separate sales team.
A training institute for the beauty segment professionals was established in the year 2003; a platform for providing training to professionals about conducting product trials, executing product launches, and also demonstration for new products to the masses. Mehran Enterprises has its own skincare & color cosmetic brands - ME - that cater to the needs of the middle income segment (the largest income segment in the country). The company has its retail chain stores, a new concept in the category launched by Mehran Enterprises. Now these retail chain stores are present in all the major cities of Pakistan.
Mehran Enterprises lacked a comprehensive, integrated ERP system, operating a small number of disparate applications. The existing IT architecture comprised a number of decentralized software systems that were not tightly integrated and required significant manual intervention for reconciliation of data.
Their goals are to increase revenue and market share of each of the eight (8) brand portfolios that they carry; Framesi, Sothys, Just for Men, Janssen, Femina, Kryolan, Bioline and Sweet Touch. Achieving these goals required a level of agility that they simply could not reach with their existing systems.
They evaluated different solutions available in the market by local vendors and also those being provided by international software companies. After thorough deliberations they realized that the best fit for them was a BizzTrax, an integrated suite of BizzTrax ERP, including Financials, Inventory, Procurement, Sales Management and an Intelligent Business Dashboard. To optimize complex business processes, the company deployed the BizzTrax, featuring .Net technology to accelerate application response times and enable the company to react quickly to changes in supply and demand.

Business Needs
Mehran Enterprises lacked a comprehensive, integrated ERP
system, operating a small number of disparate applications. The
existing IT architecture comprised a number of decentralized
software systems that were not tightly integrated and required
significant manual intervention for reconciliation of data.
Without integrated workflows and with no automated exchange
of data between applications and processes, the company
suffered from poor visibility into operations. Business processes
could not be monitored efficiently, leading to delays and slow
cycle times in all departments and business areas. The lack of
information integration made it increasingly difficult for Mehran
Enterprises to get the right information to decision-makers on
time, so that they could plan activities accordingly.

Business Challenges
As business transaction volumes increased and data volumes
grew, the company wanted to gain faster, more reliable insight
into all areas of the business. With better integration of
processes, Mehran Enterprises would be able to speed up
workflows and improve productivity.
The objective was to determine the weak and good areas of
business, manage processes more efficiently, and identify areas
where overheads could be reduced.
Their goals are to increase revenue and market share of each of
the eight (8) brand portfolios that they carry; Framesi, Sothys,
Just for Men, Janssen, Femina, Kryolan, Bioline and Sweet
Touch. Achieving these goals required a level of agility that they
simply could not reach with their existing systems. They needed
to respond very quickly to changes in market trends and
consumer behavior, which places very strong demands for

Business Challenges
performance and availability on their business applications. If
they could not extract, analyze and understand current situation
rapidly, they risked missing out on valuable opportunities for
growth.
Mehran Enterprises recognized that a large-scale transformation
effort was required. The company sought to sharpen insight into
its operations and improve functional efficiency. With timely
access to key performance indicators and operational data, the
company would be able to improve decision-making and provide
executive management with all information needed to lead the
organization efficiently and reach its strategic growth targets.
