TIGI and Nexus VAN

Driving Innovation in Supply Chain Integration

TIGI - Creators of Bed Head

TIGI, maker of the popular Bed Head hair care line, is a globally recognized brand known for innovative and trend-setting hair products. In 1996, Anthony Mascolo co-founded Bed Head with a vision to revolutionize the haircare industry. Known for his bold and innovative approach, Mascolo aimed to create distinctive hair products for professional stylists who shared his drive to push boundaries. Established as a trailblazer in the 90s, Bed Head challenged the conventional norms of hairdressing with its unconventional style, gaining fame for its groundbreaking technology and iconic packaging.Today, Bed Head continues to embody its rebellious spirit by refreshing its product line while staying true to its creative and professional ethos. Collaborating with the TIGI Creative Team, they have developed new haircare products that cater to both professionals and consumers, delivering exceptional results both in the salon and at home. The revamped packaging reflects inspiration from diverse youth subcultures, aiming to resonate with customers through music, fashion, technology, and art.

TIGI's Challenge
TIGI's vibrant products can be found in major retailers like Ulta, Sally Beauty, Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Target, Kroger, Meijer, Fry’s, and Publix, among others. With such a vast network of retailers and distributors, TIGI needed a reliable and cost-effective solution to efficiently manage their EDI transactions and seamlessly handle their complex supply chain, which involved numerous trading partners across various platforms. Their previous VAN provider charged excessive fees and lacked the flexibility and transparency they required. As Bed Head and similar products exploded, TIGI had to add more trading partners to its EDI workflow. They were shocked to find the increase of fees per partner, and other onboarding charges they weren’t expecting. TIGI also wanted to improve integration with their internal systems while maintaining fast and secure data exchange with trading partners.
