Digital makeover gives cosmetics company beautiful cost control and business insights with SAP Business ByDesign

Before:  Complex  systems add cost and slow  growth

• After 25+ years of growth and  expansion,  Comets  Intertrade had  outgrown  its technology  platform,

which was outdated,  complex  and  not  integrated  across  manufacturing,  trading  and finance

• Slow, manual reporting  was  making  it hard  for management  to track  performance  and make  informed decisions  across multiple  departments  and 30+ locations  nationally
• Lack of real time data  made  accurate  production  planning  difficult, leading  to over  and under  supplies which increased  inventory  costs and  slowed  customer  deliveries

Why SAP  and ISS Consulting  (Thailand)

• SAP Business ByDesign offers end-to-end  financial,  inventory,  logistics,  warehousing  and

manufacturing, in a platform that’s fast and affordable to implement with proven results in Thailand

• SAP Global and Platinum Partner  ISS Consulting was the ideal  partner  as they  are  experts  in using

SAP Business  ByDesign to streamline  businesses,  backed  by  10+ years  of success and awards

After: Realtime  insights  and longterm  business  platform

• W ith financial and operational  systems  all  digitised  and automated,  the business  has seen  a 30%

reduction  in expenses  across  the business since the  implementation

• Efficient software plus full accountability means  teams  are  working  smarter  and faster
