A global makeup manufacturer that has 36 different brands, with a presence in 150 countries and 88,000 employees required the support of RGIS. Creating and producing cosmetics at a local level, so that the formulations are perfectly adapted to the needs of the consumers, wherever they live. To achieve that, developed a worldwide network of research, innovation and marketing hubs, one for each of the strategic markets in the United States, Japan, Brazil, China, India and South Africa.
THE CHALLENGE

- The customer was unsure and unaware of stock levels
- Consignments going in and out of the warehouse were unchecked
- Stock levels being undetermined were impacting profitability
- Stock levels being unknown were impacting availability within stores
