Grupo Boticário Partners With SAP and SAP Ariba to Create Connected, Intelligent Supply Chain
September 18 2018 - 8:30AM
Business Wire
As a leading perfume and cosmetics manufacturer with 4,000
points of sale in Brazil and a presence in 12 other countries,
Grupo Boticário is a global leader in the cosmetics industry
delivering some of the most popular beauty products on the market
today. To ensure it keeps pace with increasing global demand, the
company is teaming with SAP and SAP Ariba to build a connected and
intelligent supply chain. Leveraging solutions from SAP Ariba,
Grupo Boticário has created a simple, digital process through which
it can efficiently manage and collaborate across the entire
source-to-settle in a simple, smart and integrated way.
Although 84 percent of global companies recognize that digital
transformation is fundamental for their survival in the next five
years, only three percent of them have completed digital
transformation initiatives throughout their operations, as shown by
the report SAP Digital Transformation Executive Study: 4 Ways
Leaders Set Themselves Apart. Based on interviews with more than
3,000 senior executives from 17 countries, the study identified a
set of challenges, opportunities, values and relevant technologies
that are instrumental in driving the digital transformation
journey. For example, more than half of the companies in Latin
America and Brazil expect to increase their turnover in 2018 but
are aware that, in the next two years, the speed of change in the
market will increase, generating the need to accelerate their
go-to-market strategy.
Grupo Boticário is well on the path to digitization.
“The world has gone digital and procurement has gone with it,”
said Catalina Manrique, Vice President, SAP Ariba Latin America.
“Innovative companies like Grupo Boticário have embraced this trend
and are powering new ways of thinking and operating that beyond
savings and efficiencies, can create long-term, sustainable
advantage for their business.”
Like more than 3.4 million companies in 190 countries –
including more than 180,000 in Brazil - Grupo Boticário is
connected to the Ariba® Network. And it is using the cloud-based
applications delivered on it to drive an efficient digital process
for managing its spend from end-to-end in an intelligent way that
enables better buying, and ultimately, business decisions.
"We make more than 350 million products every year. That's more
than one for every person in the Brazilian population,” said
Nicolas Simone, CIO, Grupo Boticário. “Running a business of this
magnitude requires a highly synchronized supply chain. And with
solutions from SAP and SAP Ariba, we can build one."
Intelligent enterprises operate with visibility, focus, and
agility to achieve game-changing outcomes. They do more with less
and empower employees through process automation. They deliver a
best-in-class customer experience, by proactively responding to
customer expectations. They invent new business models, and revenue
streams. SAP and SAP Ariba are committed to helping companies do
this and become best-run businesses. To learn more about how, click
