Cost Reduction & Operational Simplification
Case study

Cost Reduction & Operational Simplification

Leveraging our Strategic Sales Programme (SSP)

The challenge

Where the brand started

  • Escalating operational costs due to expansive product lines
  • Complex logistics required by diverse product ranges
  • High marketing expenditure required to promote a wide range of products
  • Inability to invest in new product development due to escalating costs, logistical complexity and marketing spend

The solution

How we delivered it

  1. 01

    AI and analytics-based portfolio analysis

    • Proprietary technology used to identify opportunities to maximise ROI within the portfolio
    • ‘Whitespace’ opportunities identified for brand growth without the need for R&D
    • Partnership approach enabled the brand to focus on driving core lines
  2. 02

    End-to-end management streamlined operations

    • Sales management, from distribution planning and purchase forecasting through to order fulfilment
    • Logistics management: goods collection, warehousing and distribution to agreed channels
    • Compliance management for geographical regulatory and customs requirements
  3. 03

    Sales transparency reduced internal analytics burden

    • Beautynet’s sales portal driving real-time data
    • Sell-out data by market, channel, line, type and size
