Case Study: Bare Escentuals achieves streamlined inventory management and faster, error-free reporting with Strata Decision Technology

Global Cosmetics Company Goes from Spreadsheet Wrangling to Strategic Analysis

Bare Escentuals, a multi-brand global cosmetics company with more than 26,000 SKUs, faced error-prone, manual inventory processes, limited cross‑organization reporting, and time-consuming spreadsheet consolidation. To streamline channel forecasting and integrate supply chain departments, they selected Strata Decision Technology’s integrated performance management/enterprise planning solution.

Strata Decision Technology unified multiple inventory spreadsheets into a single system, automating data imports to eliminate manual entry and mitigate data discrepancies. As a result, calculations that once took hours now run in seconds, teams no longer maintain up to 20 separate Excel workbooks, and reporting and forecasting are faster and more dynamic—freeing staff to spend time on analysis and business decisions.
