Solution

Microsoft Power Platform

Challenge

To support its global No Waste program, L’Oréal required an advanced, digitized sorting and return system in its German logistics hubs to replace manual processes and maximize inventory circularity.

Solution

 

OntargIT developed an integrated, web-based logistics application built on Microsoft Power Platform and directly connected to SAP ERP. The solution provides real-time sorting logic to help warehouse operators process incoming pallets and categorize returned goods dynamically.

Key Capabilities:

  • ERP Synchronization: Real-time ingestion of return data and product details directly from SAP.
  • Dynamic Sorting Logic: Step-by-step guidance for operators to sort items based on their current physical condition

  • Packaging Optimization:Automated packaging hints based on designated storage and hazardous groups.

  • Outbound Data Flow: Pallet consolidation and automated delivery of sorting results back to SAP.

Business Value & Impact

Deployed across several German warehouses in six months, this solution serves as an integral asset in L’Oréal’s carbon reduction program. Following this success, L’Oréal plans to expand the platform globally and introduce additional sorting categories.
