Global cosmetics retailer increases growth margins with seamless POS unification across 50+ countries<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brief<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multi-brand cosmetics retailer accelerates digital transformation by unifying multiple POS systems to a single upgraded solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the client<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The client is a global leader in prestige beauty \u2013 delighting consumers with transformative products and experiences, inspiring them to express their individual beauty. With a diverse portfolio of 25+ brands, they are the only company who focus solely on prestige makeup, skin care, fragrance and hair care. They operate over 1500 freestanding stores and 1,700+ E\/M commerce sites<\/a> in 50+ countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the client\u2019s 25+ global brands had become a part of the client\u2019s portfolio through various acquisitions. This meant that most of the brands provided independent in-store experiences with different underlying CRM and POS systems. The diverse in-store systems meant high maintenance costs, complex license management and vendor agreements. Small changes to the system required complex planning to cascade through the overall landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The client also found it difficult to rollout promotions or omnichannel capabilities globally. The systems also hampered the client\u2019s ability to introduce critical initiatives such as BOPIS (Buy Online-Pickup-In-Store) and BORIS (Buy-Online-Return-In-Store). All of this could impact the client\u2019s charter to delight consumers with transformative experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution | Ensuring continued seamless omnichannel experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The solution was to migrate different brands, retail stores in various countries and disparate content to a consolidated in-store experience underpinned by a single POS solution (Oracle Xstore POS and Oracle Retail Customer Engagement) with minimal disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SkillNet started the engagement by harmonizing the global code base. The harmonization was intended to create a baseline system for all the brands and geographies while maintaining those components that had reuse value. SkillNet\u2019s multidisciplinary agile teams and DevOps engineering helped automate and accelerate different stages of the project. The SkillNet solution also addressed the regulatory and fiscal requirements required by various countries. As a result, customizations across geographies were reduced and the delivery cycles shortened across brand silos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During country wise implementations, a flexible design was created for extensions and services. This enabled reuse across different geographies. The global code base provided multiple layers of functionality which were applicable across regions, specific geographies, store formats and brands. The core functionality for omnichannel capability is being delivered globally. The solution also enabled BOPIS (Buy Online Pickup In-Store), BORIS (Buy Online Return In Store) and OOFIS (Order Online From In Store) features. These have been introduced at country and brand level with minimal disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roll out has been completed successfully for a majority of countries across Asia, Europe and North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results | Digital Transformation supports growth margins<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its introduction, the client has reported robust growth in sales and growth margins due to the seamless omnichannel experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unified POS solution allows the store associates to spend more time with customers on sales floor and this provides them with opportunities to cross sell and upsell products. Since the solution is being driven by services and base configurations, it has also increased customer engagement time and enabled cost savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The single global code base solution has also helped streamline vendor licensing, software upgrades, maintenance costs and provide system support from one single location. Faster release cycles have also helped accelerate the client\u2019s digital initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SkillNet received the \u201cBest Drive in Innovation and Process Transformation\u201d award for its contribution in the client\u2019s digital transformation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
