Challenge
The company faced inefficiencies in its product development and release processes due to reliance on spreadsheets, emails, and manual data entry, necessitating improvements in efficiency, standardization, and ERP integration.
Solution
3DEXPERIENCE with the BIOVIA Enginuity Platform and TECHNIA’s 3DEXPERIENCE-SAP connector helped the company to standardize processes, improve traceability, and enhance PLM (product lifecycle management).
Results
The collaboration led to the automation of manual methods, reduced product development cycle time by 20%, and strengthened operational efficiency, supporting the company’s mission to deliver exceptional fragrance experiences.
The company connects people to their memories and each other through fragrance, offering a wide range of products, from scented wax and warmers to diffusers, portable scent systems, and personal care items. With a strong community spirit, the company supports hundreds of thousands of independent consultants worldwide.
Streamlining product development in the fragrance industry
The company needed to streamline its product development and release processes, which had previously been managed through spreadsheets, emails, and manual data entry. This was a slow and unproductive environment, and the goal was to improve efficiency, standardize operations, enhance product formulation compliance, and ensure seamless integration into the existing ERP system.
Transforming operations with 3DEXPERIENCE and SAP integration
To address these challenges, the company partnered with TECHNIA, implementing 3DEXPERIENCE and the BIOVIA Enginuity Platform along with other associated components, including TECHNIA’s 3DEXPERIENCE-SAP connector.
This comprehensive solution allowed the company to standardize its product development processes, improve traceability, and use PLM (product lifecycle management) effectively. The overall implementation included the development, testing, and deployment phases, focusing on meeting functional requirements by applying out-of-the-box 3DEXPERIENCE solutions.
Realizing operational excellence through automation and integration
The partnership with TECHNIA led to the company’s successful retirement of manual spreadsheet methods, automating the transfer of formulas and parts into SAP. As a result, the company standardized its product development process, significantly reducing the product development cycle time by 20%.
Over nine months, the implementation was rolled out to 65 active users, solidifying operational efficiency and supporting the company’s mission to provide exceptional fragrance experiences worldwide. TECHNIA continues to support the company’s infrastructure, driving continuous improvement and innovation.
