OneData for Product Data Cleansing and Harmonization

Customer:

Avon Products, Inc.

Overview:

Avon is a Fortune 500 company with $10+ billion revenue and consumers in 140 countries. Primary products cover the complete range of cosmetics, hair care, skin care and fragrance.

Key Challenge:

Avon needed to identify and consolidate the common products from among ½ million distinct products worldwide. Business transformation initiatives required definition and setup of a standard data portal to enable harmonization between supply chain and marketing units.

Solution:

OneData as a Standard Data repository was setup to start managing core reference entities in a centralized environment. Patent-pending data cleansing algorithms embedded in OneData enabled the consolidation of distinct products marketed around the world into a unique set of centrally-managed products.
