Case Study: Avon achieves real-time supply chain visibility and reduced inventory with e2open

Avon Calls on E2open for Better Supply Chain Performance

Avon, a $10 billion global beauty company and one of the world’s largest direct sellers, faced a complex supply chain shaped by short product lifecycles, frequent promotions and millions of brochure-driven orders. Growth across regions exposed fragmented systems (four regional ERPs), manual planning and a lack of centralized data, causing inventory imbalances, distribution inefficiencies and inconsistent service levels.

Avon implemented E2open’s Connect2Avon—a phased, cloud-based multi-enterprise platform with collaborative order, inventory and supply planning plus logistics connectivity—to create a single source of truth across suppliers and regions. The system eliminated many manual processes, delivered real-time visibility and exception alerts, and enabled system-driven replenishment; results included lower inventory, better adherence to manufacturing schedules, faster, more informed decisions and stronger supplier collaboration.
