OUAI Case Study

Revitalizing OUAI's Demand Planning & Reporting with MindStream Analytics

Known for its luxurious hair and skincare products, OUAI has garnered a distinguished clientele, including the Kardashians.

Their recent acquisition by the titan of the industry, Procter & Gamble (P&G), further accentuates their success and trajectory.

The Challenge:

Despite their notable success in the beauty arena, OUAI encountered significant challenges behind the scenes. Their existing solutions fell short in delivering effective demand planning. Struggles with inventory management compounded the situation. With a need for multiple forecasting versions and precise reporting for board presentations, their existing infrastructure was ill-equipped to meet these demands.

Moreover, the company has adopted the tool extensively, discussing enhancements, including demand planning and revenue bolt opportunities. As a cherry on top, OUAI now confidently uses the solution to provide comprehensive reporting to their new parent company, P&G, ensuring transparency and alignment.

MindStream Analytics and OUAI's collaboration showcases the transformative power of strategic technological intervention. By bridging the gaps in OUAI's demand planning and reporting processes, MindStream Analytics not only streamlined operations but also fortified the high-end brand's position in the competitive beauty industry.
