Companies in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical sector operate in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving environment. The entire product portfolio, including new products and innovations, must be managed efficiently and at the heart of the market. New channels, new product ranges and short product life cycles make it necessary to adapt the supply chain solution quickly. Agility in the supply chain is the basis for successful business. Complex production processes with high requirements for quality, audit security and traceability pose challenges for scheduling. In the pharmaceutical industry, the requirements of clinical trials, approval procedures and existing business must be taken into account in capacity planning. Planning for the various CMOs (contract manufacturing organisations) and distribution within the best-before dates is essential.

The French cosmetics industry is home to the largest cosmetics companies in the world. And FuturMaster is the supply chain software used by industry giants such as L’Oreal, Guerlain and Weleda. The solution covers many industry-specific topics such as new product management, promotion management and scenario planning. The tool comes standard with features that take into account local customer requirements for the product portfolio and dashboards for quick, data-driven decision-making.

French pharmaceutical companies also trust in the implementation expertise and quality of the FuturMaster solution: Sanofi, Pierre Fabre and Bioderma use the solution across their entire S&OP department. FuturMaster also offers a flexible and affordable solution package for optimising the supply chain, which is also well suited to medium-sized companies.
