Junglück now plans purchasing and inventory with numi. The German cosmetics brand builds its range around natural ingredients and sells it through its own shop and through retail — which means planning an assortment where freshness is not a side constraint but part of the product promise.
Planning a range where freshness is part of the product
Cosmetics built on natural formulations carry a planning constraint that most consumer categories do not: the product has a shelf life, and the less synthetic preservation is involved, the less room there is for error. Ordering too little means a bestseller goes out of stock during a campaign. Ordering too much means writing off inventory that has aged past what the brand is willing to ship — which is exactly where inventory optimization with numi comes in.
Sitting between those two failure modes are launches, seasonal skincare demand, influencer-driven peaks and a growing retail channel with its own ordering rhythm. Across the full assortment and every sales channel, that calls for forecasts precise enough to plan production and replenishment against — not rules of thumb.
With numi, Junglück combines these capabilities in one supply chain intelligence platform.
The go-live includes:
- AI demand forecasting at SKU level to make demand planning more precise across the range, including new launches and campaign-driven peaks.
- Automated replenishment proposals and order creation to reduce manual effort and speed up purchasing workflows.
- Supplier performance monitoring with a full KPI system to create a shared, fact-based view of supplier reliability and lead times.
- Dynamic alerts for real-time market responsiveness so teams can react faster to changing conditions.
What changes in day-to-day purchasing
The result is less manual work, fewer stockouts and smarter purchasing decisions. By turning operational data into timely recommendations, Junglück's team can focus more of its expertise on the decisions that matter most to customers and the business.
We would like to thank the entire Junglück team for their trust and partnership. We are proud to support this next step in Junglück's supply chain transformation and look forward to the journey ahead.
