SUCCESS STORY
Planning Budgeting Cloud Service
American brand Rag & Bone is a global retailer with footprints in the United States, London,
Japan and Korea. The Rag & Bone brand is sold in more than 700 stores around the world
and they continue to experience rapid growth.
Solution - Rag & Bone, partnering with AdvancedEPM Consulting Inc., developed three
cubes to support their performance measurement and management needs. The first cube
was designed for budgeting and performance reporting on key business lines, including
funds transfer pricing and cost allocations. The second cube allowed for analysis of Rag &
Bone’s Sales and the overall impact of Sales on the organization. Using Smarts List to ASO
cube capabilities, an ASO cube was implemented to allow Rag and Bone to analyze results
across Seasons.
The structure of PBCS allows Rag & Bone to have the following:
• Improved insight into P&L at Store, Country, and Organization level
• Analysis along Wholesale and Retail channels
• Top 25 and bottom 25 product reporting to allow for better analysis
• Seasons reporting and its impact on the organization
• Currency processing and its impact on results
Benefits Achieved
To support their growth, Rag & Bone partnered with AdvancedEPM Consulting and
implemented Oracle Planning Budgeting Cloud Services to enhance the overall planning
processes. This provided transactional level data to measure and manage costs in relation to
key drivers, as well as for human resource planning and reporting. The project was completed
on-time and on-budget.
