Digital Transformation for a Japanese Distributor of a Global Cosmetic Brand

From legacy systems and analog operations to a fully integrated omnichannel digital ecosystem.

3] Result
Transformed a stagnant business into a thriving digital-first enterprise. Revenue increased from 4.5B JPY (2019) to 10B JPY (2022–23). Enabled geographic expansion and positioned the company for IPO.
