Leveraging digital, data and AI is becoming increasingly critical for consumer goods companies—it is becoming self-evident that the champions of those topics will be the leaders of today and tomorrow:

• Prioritization in France and in the US of Sales Forces allocation across points of sales based on business potential and image by using various sources of data (point of sales, sales data by SKU, Sales Rep data, social network, third-party data)
• Prioritization of outlets through social media data & automated updates to increase market penetration and better calibration of our route to market
• We have launched a global transformation program on Data & AI with strong sponsorship from the CEO and his top management and large financial investment.
• Projects are delivered in production on our “Data Platform” built in partnership with our best in class IT team leveraging the most recent technologies available on the public cloud.
