Case Study: Make Up Store achieves centralized global supply-chain control and optimal inventory management with LS Retail

Make Up Store - Customer Case Study

Make Up Store is a rapidly growing Scandinavian cosmetics chain founded in Stockholm that expanded to over 130 shops in 20 countries and grew turnover from SEK 45M to SEK 130M (2003–2008). Rapid international expansion created complex supply‑chain challenges — varying local regulations and cultures, frequent product turnover, and the need for centralized control with flexible in‑store operations.

Make Up Store implemented Microsoft Dynamics NAV with LS Retail to unify POS, inventory and financials. Real‑time POS updates drive purchase proposals, improve stock availability and reduce tied‑up capital, while built‑in reporting, shrinkage control and returns analysis support better strategic decisions. The result is a reliable, user‑friendly global solution that centralizes supply‑chain control, keeps stores stocked and provides actionable customer and sales insight.
