Premium beauty manufacturer with 3,000 retail outlets across 90 countries
L'OCCITANE Group manufactures and retails premium beauty brands across seven owned labels, with 3,000+ outlets spanning 90 countries. The tech stack reveals a retailer-first operations model: Oracle Xstore for point-of-sale, SAP S/4HANA for supply chain, Salesforce for commerce and CRM, and Microsoft Power Platform for analytics and process automation. Hiring is sales-led (44 roles) rather than engineering-focused (3 roles), and active pain points center on supply chain optimization, sales forecasting accuracy, and process integration—all signals that IT roadmap priorities are business operations and retail efficiency, not product innovation.
