Monday.com work management Customization for a Cosmetics manufacturer

About the Company

The client is a perfume manufacturer and retailer in the UAE. Their mission is to deliver exceptional shopping experiences and maintain high customer satisfaction by offering premium fragrance products. With a growing network of outlets and franchise operations, they needed a smarter way to manage their expanding operations.

Summary

We deployed a custom Monday.com work management solution for our client based in the UAE. He is a perfume manufacturer. We streamlined their inventory, HR, marketing, and outlet management. The client previously faced disconnected tools, manual processes, and poor visibility across operations. Our customized workspace facilitated boards, leave requests automation, centralized CRM boards, proactive inventory tracking with alerts, and integrated task management features. Outlet compliance modernized with audit checklists and map views. These improvements enhanced marketing coordination, sales consistency, inventory efficiency, and overall team collaboration. With real-time dashboards and mobile access, the company is now better equipped to scale operations while delivering exceptional customer experiences.

Customer Challenges

The client’s internal processes were becoming increasingly complex as their business scaled. Their team faced multiple operational issues that impacted efficiency and productivity. Major challenges were:

• Disconnected Tools and Manual Processes

The client juggled with scattered systems for inventory, HR, and marketing. CRM and Automation were lacking.

• Inefficient HR and Leave Management

Leave requests were handled manually, causing approval delays and poor visibility for both employees and management.

• Reactive Inventory and Supply Management

The lack of proactive monitoring often led to last-minute shortages of office supplies and promotional materials, disrupting smooth operations.

• Uncoordinated Marketing Campaigns

Campaign planning lacked structure and cross-team visibility, making it hard to measure performance and coordinate tasks efficiently.

• No Centralized CRM

Without a single system for lead tracking and customer engagement, sales efforts were inconsistent, and follow-ups were missed.

• Expansion and Compliance Challenges

With new outlets and franchise stores opening, managing location-specific compliance and maintaining brand standards was becoming a significant challenge.

Solutions

We implemented a tailored Monday.com Work Management solution to bring all business operations under one centralized platform.

Monday.com work management Customization 

• Custom Workspace Setup

We created a dedicated Monday.com workspace with structured boards for HR, inventory, marketing, CRM, and daily task tracking—ensuring each department worked seamlessly.

• Automated HR & Leave Requests

The HR board featured a form-based leave request system with built-in approval workflows, automated status updates, and a complete history log for transparency.

• Proactive Inventory Management

Inventory tracking boards were created by us with low-stock alerts, and vendor management tools as well as facilitating automated Slack/email notifications to eliminate end time supply issues.

• Streamlined Task & Project Management

Using Gantt charts, status updates, and file-sharing features, teams could track daily tasks, manage deadlines, and collaborate effortlessly.

• Centralized CRM for Sales

We designed CRM boards for lead tracking, opportunity management, and communication logs, enabling the sales team to adopt a structured account-based marketing approach.

• Integrated Automation

Automations reduced manual work—for example, triggering notifications when new tasks were assigned or when stock levels dropped below thresholds.

• Outlet & Franchise Management

We added map views, audit checklists, and compliance trackers to monitor all retail outlets and ensure brand consistency.

Most noticeable results to the client were:

The marketing team now plans and tracks campaigns with full budget visibility, real-time performance metrics, and clear ownership of tasks.
