Section 1

Ecosystem Growth & Data Architecture Complexity

Rapid international expansion left a major beauty leader with a fragmented data estate across eCommerce, retail, and supply chain. Inconsistent customer definitions and disconnected business logic created operational friction, preventing the brand from leveraging its global scale for predictive personalization and autonomous demand forecasting.

Section 2

Architectural Audit & Target State Design

We completed a 6–8 week architectural assessment focused on customer, product, eCommerce, marketing, supply chain, and finance domains. The review surfaced fragmented silos, duplicated logic, and inconsistent master data definitions that hindered enterprise-scale intelligence.

  • Unified platform scope covering customer, product, marketing, and supply chain
  • Domain-oriented data product design using Databricks and shared analytics services
  • Federated governance model with central enablement and metadata controls
  • Master Data Management (MDM) hub for unified golden customer and product records
