A global leader in personal care, grooming, and small appliances, the company has built its reputation on delivering innovative, high-quality products to millions of consumers across the world. With an extensive portfolio that includes grooming devices, beauty solutions, and wellness appliances, the organization combines cutting-edge technology with consumer-focused design to ensure safety, convenience, and superior performance. Operating across multiple regions, the company maintains a complex network of suppliers, distributors, and retail partners, supporting a diverse product range while maintaining consistent quality and brand trust. Known for its commitment to research and development, the organization continually invests in new technologies and sustainable practices to enhance product performance, meet evolving consumer needs, and stay ahead in a competitive global market.
As the company expanded its operations globally, managing material master data across regions became increasingly complex. The growing volume of products and multiple regional standards introduced variability, creating a need for more structured oversight and consistency. Maintaining accuracy, reducing duplication, and ensuring compliance with governance standards emerged as key priorities, prompting the organization to partner with Cherrywork Suite of Digital Solutions, from Incture to centralize and streamline material data management across geographies.
As the organization’s operations expanded across multiple markets, maintaining balance between global data consistency and regional flexibility became increasingly difficult. Each geography followed its own material data creation practices to accommodate local regulatory requirements, vendor structures, and supply chain dynamics. However, the absence of customizable workflows and business rules meant that these variations were handled manually, often relying on spreadsheets, emails, and ad-hoc approvals.
This lack of process configurability created inefficiencies and inconsistencies.
Without tailored workflows, teams struggled to adapt global templates to local business needs, resulting in delays and errors during data entry and validation. Business rules that could have automatically enforced naming conventions, attribute dependencies, and compliance checks had to be applied manually—consuming time and leaving room for oversight. As a result, approvals were prolonged, data accuracy was uneven, and cross-regional reporting became increasingly difficult. The business required a governance framework that could maintain global standards while allowing flexible adaptation to regional nuances—ensuring efficiency without compromising control.
Cherrywork Master Data Governance was implemented to establish a unified yet flexible framework for managing material master data across the enterprise. The platform introduced customizable workflows and business rules that aligned global governance standards with regional operational needs. This ensured that material data creation followed a consistent structure while accommodating local business variations, maintaining both control and agility.
Automated validation rules and approval hierarchies replaced manual checks, drastically reducing processing time and human dependency. Each data entry was automatically verified against corporate governance parameters, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and compliance before finalization. The system provided clear
visibility into every stage of data creation—assigning ownership, enforcing accountability, and ensuring that all material records met organizational quality standards. Through this solution, the organization achieved a scalable and controlled master data governance model—eliminating redundancies, improving cross-functional collaboration, and creating a foundation of trust and accuracy in material data management.
The implementation of Cherrywork Master Data Governance transformed the organization’s material data management into a streamlined, reliable, and insight-driven operation. Manual dependencies were replaced with automated governance checks, cutting down data creation time and ensuring near-perfect accuracy across all records. The flexibility of customizable workflows allowed regional teams to operate efficiently within a globally consistent framework—balancing control with operational agility.
With 100% streamlined material data governance and risk management, 100% data consistency and accuracy, and 0% data duplication, the company established a single, trusted source of truth across the enterprise. Approval cycles became faster, rework was minimized, and real-time access to standardized material data enhanced visibility across business functions. This transformation not only strengthened compliance and reporting accuracy but also created a scalable foundation for future digital growth and supply chain resilience.
