Zozio and Actility: a partnership revolutionising the cosmetics industry

Against a backdrop of rapid growth in the French cosmetics market — 23% global market share according to FEBEA — Zozio, a recognised player in Industry 4.0, and Abeeway, a market leader in traceability devices, have joined forces to offer a unique tracking and traceability solution.

This solution works across a range of industrial assets, with a first successful project in the cosmetics industry — though not exclusively, as it is an agile solution adaptable to all industries. Abeeway's expertise in outdoor geolocation systems, combined with Zozio's flow management service, made this unique project a genuine success!

What is Zozio's expertise?

To address a lack of visibility on the shop floor, Zozio offers a solution — a digital twin of industrial logistics — that supports operators in their day-to-day work. It enables production processes to be visualised, understood, analysed, and optimised.

Zozio has carried out a successful deployment with Abeeway and Actility for one of France's largest luxury brands. The brand, whose name will be revealed at a later stage of the project, uses the integrated Zozio-Abeeway solution to track high-end fragrance tanks across production sites. A similar use case has already been delivered for its client L'Oréal, the global leader in beauty.

Indeed, the benefits for clients are numerous:

• Real-time collection of field data

• Monitoring and optimising logistics flows

• Performance optimisation

• Reduction in raw material losses

• More eco-responsible production through a reduction in the number of tanks
