ValueCoders built a unified platform for Estee Lauder to reduce errors, speed up launches, and improve compliance across 150+ markets.
Estee Lauder Companies is a global leader in the beauty industry with 25+ brands across 150 countries. Managing such a diverse product portfolio demands precision and consistency. ELC needed a unified way to manage packaging definitions and ensure compliance across multiple markets.
Despite being an industry powerhouse, ELC’s product packaging workflows were hampered by fragmented legacy systems and manual processes. This created critical bottlenecks:
To keep up with global operations and compliance, ELC needed a centralized, modern platform that could standardize, validate, and govern packaging data workflows seamlessly.
ValueCoders, in collaboration with Infosys, designed and delivered a centralized digital platform called PDS that transformed how ELC manages its packaging and product definition data.
| Challenge | Solution Implemented | Result Achieved |
|---|---|---|
| Inconsistent data with no proper version control | Centralized Product Definition System (PDS) with full version control for technical & WIP products | 100% version control across all product variations |
| High error rates in packaging configuration | Real-time validation and standardized workflows for packaging data | 45% reduction in configuration errors |
| Complex workflows for managing multiple product types | Support for all product types (single/multi-mass, multi-WIP, no-mass) | Simplified workflows and improved scalability |
| Difficulty generating regulatory & packaging reports | Automated regulatory & custom reporting with role-based access | Faster, more accurate compliance and audit reporting |
| Scalability issues due to non-standardized data models | Standardized data model with centralized governance | 30% faster time-to-market and improved collaboration |
