Case Study Overview

Representing some of the world’s most famous beauty brands The Estee Lauder Companies’ retail teams are equipped with iPads, which assist with the provision of an enhanced service to customers.

Historically, ordering and deployment of the devices was handled at a local level across multiple countries, which restricted the ability of regional service delivery managers to gain an overview of status, logistics and supply chain activity. The Estee Lauder Companies recognised the potential to secure cost efficiencies and establish greater control by consolidating the management of iPads across the entire estate.

CDW, as an Apple Authorised Enterprise Reseller was selected as the preferred partner for this project due to its deep understanding of the Apple ecosystem and international reach that very few organisations could match. CDW created a bespoke online catalogue of iPads using its own unique ServiceTrack platform, enabling The Estee Lauder Companies to consolidate procurement, logistics and supply chain management of the Apple technology into a unified multi-currency console for greater clarity and control.
