When cosmetics & beauty businesses reach for Catafy

Key use cases

Real situations from the cosmetics & beauty trade β€” and exactly how Catafy handles each one.

Pain: Shade requests

'Send the red one' β€” you have eleven reds

Shade confusion leads to returns, and returns on cosmetics are expensive.

With Catafy: Shades are variants with swatches and codes. The buyer picks 'R-07 Ruby' β€” the order says exactly that.

βœ“ Shade-exact orders

Matte Lipstick Β· 24 shades

Ordered: R-07 Γ—36 Β· N-02 Γ—24

Swatches shown Β· codes on invoice

Pain: Margin questions

Every retailer asks the same thing: 'what's my margin?'

Retailers compare MRP and trade price by hand across a PDF.

With Catafy: Each SKU shows MRP, trade price and margin % for that buyer type. Salons see professional rates instead.

βœ“ Margin visible, questions gone

Vitamin C Serum 30ml

MRP β‚Ή899 Β· Trade β‚Ή540 Β· Margin 40%

Salon rate β‚Ή480 (private)

Pain: Near-expiry stock

A batch expires in 4 months β€” you need it moved this week

Expiry-driven offers are buried in WhatsApp groups.

With Catafy: Tag the lot with batch/expiry and an offer price; broadcast the catalogue link and watch who opens it.

βœ“ Clearance you can track

Clearance Β· Batch 2205

Expiry Jan 27 Β· 20% off Β· 340 units

Link opened by 96 retailers

Pain: Instagram DM orders

Retail orders come from DMs β€” wholesale from dealers β€” stock is guessed

Two channels, one stock, no single source of truth.

With Catafy: Public D2C store and private B2B catalogue from one inventory. Every order, any channel, reduces the same stock.

βœ“ One stock, two channels

Rose Toner Β· Stock 412

D2C orders today 18 Β· B2B 120
