关于客户
New York, N.Y.-based Avon is a leading global beauty company with $10 billion in annual revenue. As one of the world’s largest direct sellers, Avon employs more than 30,000 associates worldwide and is sold through more than 6 million active independent Avon Sales Representatives. Avon products are available in over 100 countries, and the product line includes color cosmetics, skincare, fragrance, fashion, and home products, featuring well-recognized brand names such as Avon Color, ANEW®, Skin-So-Soft, and Advance Techniques. The company’s products are primarily driven through the Avon brochure, with nearly 50 million copies distributed every two to three weeks. Avon has a widely distributed supplier and sales base, short product lifecycles, and a constant flow of changing promotions that influence demand.
挑战
As Avon expanded globally, the company faced significant challenges in managing its supply chain due to a lack of centralized information across its global locations. This was exacerbated by the use of varied MRP and ERP systems in different regions, leading to inefficiencies in inventory and distribution management. The manual, ad-hoc planning processes were not supported by enterprise systems, resulting in varying service levels and a surplus of stock. Avon needed better engagement across multiple geographies and disparate platforms to achieve real-time visibility into supplier production availability and move towards collaborative planning and execution.
解决方案
To address its supply chain challenges, Avon partnered with E2open to develop a supply chain solution branded as 'Connect2Avon.' This solution aimed to replace inefficient legacy systems, reduce inventory sustainably, automate system-driven planning for goods and materials, reduce operational costs and obsolescence, and improve profitability and productivity. The system includes several functional components such as Multi-Enterprise Foundation, Collaborative Order Management, Collaborative Inventory Management, Collaborative Supply Planning, and E2open Logistics Network. These components enable seamless integration with backend systems, providing a single source of information for the entire Avon organization and facilitating collaborative planning and execution processes between Avon and its suppliers.

Case Study
Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.
Case Study
Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.

Digital Retail Security Solutions
Sennco wanted to help its retail customers increase sales and profits by developing an innovative alarm system as opposed to conventional connected alarms that are permanently tethered to display products. These traditional security systems were cumbersome and intrusive to the customer shopping experience. Additionally, they provided no useful data or analytics.
