Case Study: Multinational Beauty and Lifestyle Branding Company achieves near‑real‑time North American sales and inventory visibility with TimeXtender Discovery Hub®

Discovery Hub and Microsoft help beauty and lifestyle brand get a clear handle on North American sales

TimeXtender helped a North American regional office of a multinational beauty and lifestyle brand overcome slow, unreliable reporting from a legacy ERP that hampered planning for 550 US stores. The company needed accurate, timely sales and inventory data to manage growing product lines and multiple locations more effectively.

TimeXtender deployed Discovery Hub® on Microsoft Azure to extract ERP data into Azure Storage, process it via an Azure VM into Azure SQL DB, and create analytical views by brand, product type and SKU—without hard coding. The new architecture delivered near real-time, trustworthy insights, eliminated procurement guesswork, freed funds tied to slow-moving inventory, and improved inventory control and sales decision-making.
