Challenge
Annual transportation spending that far exceeded industry averages pressured Coty, a leading personal care and cosmetics manufacturer, to evaluate a business case to implement a new comprehensive transportation management strategy.

Solution
Developed a holistic strategy for best practices and then created best-in-class transportation capabilities by:

• Designing a new North American organization for multi-national transportation planning
• Reengineering all transportation-related business processes and procedures
• Implementing improved systems to support worldwide distribution
• Establishing change management and training programs to ensure adoption

Benefits
With the new organization, processes, and systems in place, Coty anticipates gross savings of at least 6%, or over $1 million per year. Transportation management is now a model for best practice evaluation and implementation at Coty. With this new strategy in place, Coty has much greater control and visibility of its transportation processes and can better manage costs and on-going improvement initiatives.
