Case Study: L'Occitane Group achieves automated real-time FX risk management with Kantox Dynamic Hedging

How L'Occitane Group optimised their FX risk management with automation

The L'Occitane Group, a global manufacturer and retailer of sustainable beauty and wellness products with operations in 90 countries and over 1,300 owned stores, needed to remove manual FX processes to increase efficiency, security and free its treasury team to focus on strategic hedging. To achieve this it partnered with Kantox, deploying Kantox Dynamic Hedging® (Currency Management Automation) to modernise its end-to-end FX workflow.

Kantox implemented an API integration between the L'Occitane Group’s ERP/TMS and Kantox Dynamic Hedging®, automating exposure monitoring and trade execution according to customised business rules. As a result, Kantox enabled real-time visibility across 15 currency pairs, eliminated manual processes and operational risk, and freed treasury time for higher‑value work — hedging €368,066,198 of exposure and delivering €188,683 in forward points savings.
