Businesses in the cosmetics industry face several challenges when they attempt to maintain low costs while maintaining high profits. The cosmetics industry is highly competitive and fast-paced, creating immense pressure to quickly produce and release new products. In addition, recent supply chain problems have emerged due to COVID-19 computer shutdowns, natural disasters (including a massive winter storm in Texas), a container ship grounding in the Suez Canal, and cyberattacks.
Acumatica’s cloud-based ERP software solutions can help cosmetics businesses streamline their supply chain and distribution processes, which can help companies eliminate disruptions in their supply chains and maximize profits.
