Galeries Lafayette Jewelry Division manages a diverse retail network across Louis Pion and Royal Quartz Galeries Lafayette.
Before autone, inventory decisions depended on internal extracts, large Excel files and repeated manual checks before data could be reinjected into the ERP.
autone helped the team move from decisions based on historical stock to decisions driven by projected sales, first through a focused proof of concept and then across the full network.
The POC recovered one month of stock coverage within a year, cut replenishment time from half a day to under one hour per week and gave the team the confidence to scale.
From a successful POC to full deployment.
About the brand.
The Galeries Lafayette Jewelry Division includes Louis Pion, with more than 110 stores across France, and Royal Quartz Galeries Lafayette locations in airports and city centres.
The division manages stock across a varied retail network, where replenishment, supplier constraints and product availability all need to be handled with precision.

Why autone?
Galeries Lafayette Jewelry Division needed a system that could support real operating conditions, not another layer of interpretation on top of already manual work.
autone’s Replenishment and Reorder modules share the same logic, which reduced manual adjustments and gave the team one clearer way to manage stock decisions. Supplier differences, lead times, article renewals and merges can be configured directly in the platform instead of being worked around in separate files.
That gave the team the granularity they needed without making the process harder to manage. autone handles the volume and consistency, while the team stays focused on review, adjustment and decision-making.

A proof of concept that convinced the entire team. A rollout that followed in five weeks.
The challenge.
Before autone, inventory decisions were historically handled through extracts from internal tools, large Excel files managed at article-store level and repeated manual checks before reinjection into the ERP.
The process made it possible to operate, but it was difficult to stay precise at scale. The volume of data created friction, with time spent handling files, correcting errors and reconciling numbers instead of reviewing and improving decisions.
The team wanted to optimize stock levels without increasing operational or commercial risk, improve productivity by reducing time spent on replenishment and manual checks, and increase reliability around forecasting and decision-making.
In practice, that meant moving away from a process driven by historical stock and toward one that could account for projected sales, supplier realities and store-level needs.
The solution.
autone was first deployed on a defined scope within the jewelry division. The goal was to prove value before scaling.
The initial scope was deployed in five weeks, supported by a responsive internal IT team, clear alignment from the start and a system designed to be straightforward to configure and use.
Following the proof of concept, the division activated autone across its replenishment and reorder operations, covering the full Louis Pion network and Royal Quartz locations in airports and city centres.
Teams now use autone as part of their regular operating rhythm. Replenishment is handled directly in the system based on store-level needs, while Reorder accounts for supplier constraints without manual recalculation.
Performance is also reviewed through Insights, with the team exploring new alert and dashboard capabilities. The system handles volume and consistency, while teams focus on the decisions that need human judgement.
“The forecasts go further, are more reliable, and take a high level of granularity into account. We can configure parameters in detail, which allows us to be far more precise in our decisions.”
- Pierre, Chief Financial & Supply Chain Officer, Jewelry Division, Galeries Lafayette
The results.
These outcomes directly reflect the three objectives the team set at the start: optimization, productivity, and reliability, achieved first through a focused POC, then scaled with confidence across the full network.
Stock coverage recovered
Within the first year of the POC, the team recovered one month of stock coverage. That had a direct impact on working capital while supporting the objective of optimizing stock without adding operational or commercial risk.
Replenishment time reduction
Replenishment time moved from half a day to under one hour per week. The team spends less time preparing, checking and correcting files, and more time reviewing decisions.
Network live on replenishment & reorder
The POC convinced both business teams and IT leadership to move forward with a full rollout. autone is now live across the full replenishment and reorder scope for Louis Pion and Royal Quartz Galeries Lafayette locations.
