Professional beauty products distributor Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc., has chosen a new audit system – MetricStream’s Store Audit Management Solution, which will be deployed over MetricStream GRC Cloud.

Improving overall store performance is the goal of using a system like this, which allows a retailer to gain a complete and cohesive view into store performance, security, and more. The system helps to manage store compliance reviews, inventory control, and other operations across its retail locations in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Other benefits include streamlining and automating a wide range of store audit processes, including audit scheduling, data management, audit execution, reporting, and issue management.

Mark Johnston, vice president, Internal Audit, Sally Beauty Holdings, said:

“With our vast network of stores, it became important that we implement a more integrated store audit solution that can provide a top-level view over the status of our stores and their compliance with various regulatory, corporate, and operational objectives. MetricStream solutions are scalable and agile, and will help us harmonize our store audit processes and gain real-time actionable insights into each store’s controls and operational performance.”

Gaurav Kapoor, Chief Operating Officer at MetricStream, added:

“By leveraging MetricStream solutions, our customers are able to significantly improve risk intelligence, compliance, audit efficiency and productivity, while also gaining the data and intelligence they need to make sound business decisions that support superior business performance.”
