Cosmetics & Healthcare - Business Case
Four regional labs. Four shade libraries that didn't talk to each other.
Company A develops and manufactures color cosmetics sold across multiple global markets through regional labs, each keeping its own shade library with limited visibility into what other regions had already built.
The challenge
A global shade range, built region by region, from scratch.
Shade development relied on subjective bench evaluation, and the company's approval chain — formulators, quality, regulatory, brand — ran through rounds of email and shared folders before a shade range could launch.
- Shade development judged by subjective bench evaluation
- Regional labs unaware of each other's shade libraries
- Approval chased across email and shared folders
- Global launches slow and shade consistency inconsistent
The solution
One shade history, shared across every region.
Ametra linked every regional lab's shade library and consumer shade-range data into one searchable system.
Custom-built
Every regional lab's shade library and consumer shade-range data linked into one searchable, cataloged system.
AI-assisted
Starting formulations suggested from the closest historical shades, cutting bench iteration cycles.
Connected
Formulators, quality, regulatory, and brand teams get role-specific views into the same live approval workflow.
The results
What changed across regions and launches.
The shifts that mattered most to global consistency.
-
Faster global launches Global shade range launches moved faster with a shared history to build from.
-
More consistent shades Shade consistency across markets improved as regional labs stopped working in isolation.
-
Lower formulation cost Formulation costs dropped as fewer bench iterations were needed to reach an approved shade.
