How Azio Beauty improved inventory operations & NPS

Azio Beauty, a rapidly growing skincare brand, improved inventory management and customer satisfaction with help of advanced forecasting.

About Azio Beauty

Founded in April 2022, Azio Beauty is a self-financed venture that stands firm on its belief that high-quality skincare should not be a privilege but a right for every woman. Our core principle is to defy the conventional beauty industry norms, where the typical product is marked up at least 12 times its manufacturing cost. We pledge to deliver efficient skincare solutions that don't come with a luxury price tag, ensuring quality skincare for all.

The Problem

Azio Beauty, since its inception, achieved remarkable growth, generating £2 million in revenue within the first year and maintaining a monthly growth rate of 20%. This self-sustained growth strategy presented unique challenges in inventory management and financing. While the reliance on pre-orders fueled internal growth, it also introduced complexities, potentially leading to customer dissatisfaction and reduced profitability.

Commenting on the problems Azio Beauty faced before using Prediko, co-founder Jonathan Penna, said:

“Growing purely on pre-orders is complicated. Before Prediko our growth mostly relied on pre-orders which was impacting our customer satisfaction. They are frustrated to wait for production and delivery times. The other big pain point the missing revenue opportunity as customers are less likely to convert when a product is out of stock.”
