Challenges
Through a modern supply chain, Bondi Sands mission is to bring confidence and the iconic Australian lifestyle to their worldwide community all year round. As manufacturers of the world’s leading self-tanning brand, owned and made in Australia, Bondi Sands, distributes to over 45,000 stores worldwide. Their current physical retailer footprint crosses 14 countries and expands to 95 countries online – bringing Australia to the rest of the world. This footprint is expected to grow over the next few years at a rapid pace.
Bondi Sands set out on a supply chain transformation as a key business enabler to support their significant business growth. With an increased product mix, new operating model, and constant supply chain industry challenges, Bondi Sands needed a robust solution.
As part of their technology transformation, Bondi Sands evaluated their current business structure to identify the following challenges in their current practices.
- Inventory planning: reactive and manual, lack of control, led to stock outs.
- Manual / Excel driven reporting: low visibility of service levels, lagging reaction, prone to errors.
- Data integrity: highly compromised, leading to errors.
- Unstructured demand forecast: leading to high inaccuracy.
- Highly manual order management: overburnt and inadequate ERP system.
These challenges lead to missed opportunities and impacted the speed of their business growth.
