Amorepacific

Connecting employees across geographies

Challenge

Amorepacific is the largest cosmetics manufacturer in Korea with more than 5,000 employees—approximately 4,000 in Korea and 1,000 in global branch offices—working
and collaborating across continents. Along with recent changes in business environment, Amorepacific’s growing global business have increased the number of stores, branch offices, sales channels and production sites, ushering the company to seek new and smart ways for cross-functional collaboration.

In addition, with the enforcement of a new labor regulation in Korea limiting maximum weekly work hours at 52, Amorepacific needed to create a work environment (i.e. mobile apps, cloud storage, etc.) where employees can access documents and work together seamlessly anywhere at anytime outside designated office workspace.

In addition, Amorepacific’s growing business has diversified and expanded collaboration channels, requiring an integrated platform to communicate and manage scattered
documents and files easily in one place.

Solution

Accordingly, Amorepacific decided to provide a safer and more efficient collaboration workspace for employees, by introducing Brity Drive.

Amorepacific integrated various IT solutions that were used by over 5,000 employees and partner companies in 17 countries worldwide, and brought them together under one single platform, Brity Drive. Brity Drive enabled Amorepacific employees and partners communicate ideas on their mobile or PC in a faster and more efficient manner, using various features such as posts, memo pads, and to-do lists.

In addition, diverse security policies (i.e. file-specific custom security settings, file security approval, etc.) were applied in order to protect internal documents and data safely, allowing a more convenient and secure communication with appx. 1,000 partner company staff.
