Global fashion brand scaling omnichannel operations across 100+ countries
Lacoste operates as a vertically integrated fashion house with 5,001–10,000 employees across manufacturing, retail, and distribution. The tech stack reveals a company mid-transformation: heavy SAP/S/4HANA adoption alongside Snowflake + dbt for analytics, Salesforce for CRM, and Matillion + Dataiku for data pipelines. The hiring mix is sales-heavy (454 roles open) with emerging data and product functions, mirrored by active projects on omnichannel strategy, SAP roll-out, and inventory optimization—all signals of a legacy brand modernizing its supply chain and retail operations.
Notable leadership hires: Merchandising Director, Visual Lead, Transformation Director, Head Architecture Roll-out
Lacoste designs and distributes apparel, footwear, leather goods, accessories, fragrances, eyewear, and watches through a global network spanning more than 100 countries. The brand operates a complete value chain from product development (using PLM tools and 3D CAD) through manufacturing to omnichannel retail. With 8,500 team members, the company manages two items sold per second globally. Current operational focus centers on inventory optimization, store-level sales performance, and customer loyalty—reflected in active projects around omnichannel strategy rollout, loyalty program development (Club Lacoste), and supply chain automation via new APS deployment.
Lacoste uses SAP S/4HANA (actively implementing), Anaplan for planning, Manhattan for order management, and Matillion for data integration. Recent projects include APS (Advanced Planning System) deployment and optimizing Anaplan model performance for stock processes.
