Cosmax Transforms Entire Warehouse Operation
Cosmax, the leading manufacturer of cosmetics in Korea, has enjoyed considerable growth over the last four years and continues to roll out new products at the rate of 2,700 each year. The company enjoys unprecedented success as the leading manufacturer of cosmetics in Korea.
The Challenge
Cosmax lacked strict standards of procedure (SOPs) across warehouse management processes and had inadequate visibility across the supply chain. The company needed to maintain inventory accuracy at all times by dramatically improving picking process as well as the management and storage of returned goods.
