In a dynamic, fast-moving beauty and subscription landscape, real-time visibility into inventory is critical to delivering on customer promises. For IPSY, one of the largest beauty subscription brands in the world, achieving that level of control required reimagining how inventory data flows across systems and channels.
As IPSY expanded its offerings to be fully customizable by individuals' personal preferences, and the added complexity of fast trendy products from thousands of the brands, its inventory ecosystem grew more complex. Across multiple subscription tiers and a growing ecommerce shop, IPSY handles millions of recurring shipments each month, thousands of active SKUs across categories, and frequent product launches and collaborations, each with their own demand patterns. Multiple operational systems and differing business complexity by channel created inconsistencies in visibility and made it increasingly difficult to maintain a single, consistent understanding of available inventory.
“Our goal was to create a unified, intelligent view of inventory availability that could support the scale and complexity of our business,” says Sree Sreedhararaj, CTO at IPSY. “We needed a platform that could grow with us; highly customizable and the one that enables smarter decisions, not just solves short-term operational challenges.”
This vision inspired IPSY to create a unified Inventory Availability Platform (IAP), a solution designed to standardize inventory availability data, improve visibility, and foster real-time collaboration across business functions.
After evaluating multiple technology options, IPSY teamed up with OnePint.ai to transform its inventory availability and visibility capabilities, leveraging the capabilities of OnePint’s OneTruth platform.
Sreedhararaj added, “What stood out to us about OnePint’s platform was not just eCommerce enablement, but its AI-first approach, robust foundation, and focus on flexibility and performance. At OnePint, we saw a partner ready to rethink inventory from the ground up and customize with minimal efforts to cater to the complex subscription ecosystem needs.”
“Our goal was to help IPSY establish an adaptive platform; one that automates core inventory flows today while creating a strong foundation for future growth and innovation,” says Devadas Pattathil, CEO of OnePint.ai.
The collaboration began with a discovery and proof-of-concept phase to assess IPSY’s current processes and demonstrate how OnePint’s platform could support the company’s evolving business needs, followed by the full implementation of the solution.
IAP will transform how IPSY plans, tracks, and fulfills inventory. Acting as a centralized inventory visibility brain, it will:
The IPSY-OnePint partnership represents a shared vision: where inventory is not just tracked but intelligently orchestrated across the value chain.
