Introduction
The health and beauty industry is one of the fastest-growing retail sectors in the world, fueled by rising consumer demand, social media influence, and a global shift toward self-care and wellness. With this rapid growth comes unique challenges for retailers who need to manage inventory, ensure compliance, handle multi-channel sales, and deliver a seamless customer experience. This is where health and beauty retailer consulting becomes essential. At SixLakes Consulting, we help brands in this space leverage technology like NetSuite to streamline operations, scale profitably, and stay ahead of market trends.
What is Health and Beauty Retailer Consulting?
Health and beauty retailer consulting involves providing specialized business and technology guidance tailored to the needs of companies selling cosmetics, skincare, haircare, supplements, fragrances, and other wellness products. Unlike general retail consulting, this type of consulting focuses on challenges unique to the industry, such as batch tracking, expiration management, compliance with FDA or GMP standards, omnichannel retailing, customer loyalty programs, and sustainability initiatives.
