Infor solution helps maximise operational flexibility, allowing an improved service offering for inventory in Lovisa’s store network throughout Europe
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Media OutReach – 16 June 2023 – Infor®, the industry cloud company, today announced thatLovisa, the fashion-forward jewellery brand, has made a strategic move in its global operations by implementing Infor Warehouse Management System (WMS) at a new facility in Poland. With the support of Infor partner SNS, a leading provider of supply chain consultancy and software implementation, Lovisa has taken a significant step forward in improving supply chain operations and delivering exceptional customer service. The project went live in March 2023, marking a major milestone in Lovisa’s journey towards enhancing its global presence.
The new warehouse in Poland is the first of Lovisa’s multiple facilities worldwide to operate on Infor WMS. Previously, Lovisa had outsourced its operations to 3PLs (third-party logistics) in some countries or relied on basic paper-driven processes like paper picking.
Despite the challenges of a tight timeline of around five months from inception to go-live, the new facility in Poland started operating on the same day as Infor WMS going live, with new staff recruited for the facility. Additionally, zero customisation was allowed, and all business requirements had to be catered for using an out-of-the-box Infor WMS. Overcoming language, time zone, and location barriers, Lovisa’s project team worked tirelessly with the support of SNS to ensure a successful implementation.
“The new facility in Poland will allow Lovisa to maximise its operational flexibility allowing an improved service offering for inventory to our store network throughout Europe. The next step is to kick off e-commerce for all European orders from the same location,” said Tyrone Tapusoa, head of supply chain, Lovisa. “SNS played a critical role in helping us achieve our goals with this project. Their expertise and support have been invaluable in ensuring that the Infor WMS implementation was successful. With their help, we will be able to improve our supply chain operations and deliver exceptional customer service.”
“Infor is proud that Lovisa, one of Australia’s great fashion success stories, has deployed Infor WMS in record time and in close collaboration with our valued partner SNS. The implementation will provide Lovisa with critical insights into warehouse operations, including real-time inventory levels and labour performance, and improve the company’s bottom line. Going live at Lovisa’s facility in Poland marks an important milestone in the company’s efforts to enhance its global supply chain capabilities and Infor is thrilled to be part of this exciting journey,” said Jarrod Kinchington, Infor ANZ vice-president and managing director.
Mario Ghosn, SNS general manager, said, “We are pleased to have been a part of Lovisa’s successful Infor WMS implementation in their new facility in Poland. Our team worked closely with Lovisa’s project team to overcome challenges and ensure a successful go live. We are proud to have contributed to Lovisa’s global operations and look forward to continued collaboration in the future.”
Lovisa is thrilled with the successful implementation of the WMS at its new facility in Poland with the support of Infor and SNS, and looks forward to the benefits it will bring to the global operations, including improved supply chain operations and exceptional customer service.
Organisations around the world, including Costa Rican logistics operator Grupo Servica, equipment manufacturer NTN in Japan, and German supply chain service provider HAVI Group, rely on Infor WMS to improve operational performance and enhance customer experience for business success.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 16 June 2023 – Ananchi, a wellness boutique established in 2019 with a specialization in bust care and fertility treatments, today announces the opening of a new treatment center in the heart of Central, Hong Kong. The new center overlooks the Victoria Harbour and offers a wide range of innovative wellness solutions, with a focus on oriental bust treatments and fertility care.
The newly opened Ananchi wellness center in Central Hong Kong overlooks the Victoria Habour, and offers advanced female and couple treatments. Non-invasive bust care and firming technology represents the next big frontier in Asia’s wellness and beauty industry.
New technology has made it possible to obtain better body shape without the cost and the pain of traditional cosmetic surgeries. Instead of breast enlargement procedures and invasive injections which could be painful and costly, Ananchi’s new center offers non-invasive treatments that can help stimulate the body’s self-regulating mechanisms for optimal development, increasing upper body circulation for optimal growth. It also helps to facilitate the body’s healing and regeneration.
“The intersection of beauty, bust care, fertility and new healthtech is one of the most compelling areas of growth for the wellness industry – an area in which Ananchi is leading and is continuing to push forward,” said spokesperson for Annachi. “We are seeing very strong demand for non-invasive, machine-assisted bust care and fertility preservation services, which many see as a viable alternative to the traditional surgeries.”
New bust care and wellness offerings, impressive results without surgery
The latest Ananchi bust care treatment utilized innovative new technology from Japan, with machines specialized in unblocking meridian blockages, increasing upper body circulation and removing lymphatic drainage. These help to prevent blockages from stopping nutrients from traveling to the upper body and breast area. Special handpiece also helps to induce regenerative microcurrent and thermal energy deep into the body’s collagen layer, improve elasticity and plumpness, and create a more generous bust shape.
Ananchi currently offers unique wellness, male and female care treatments, utilizing the latest healthcare technology from leading providers in Japan, South Korea, China, and Thailand. All of which have been extremely well-received in their home country. These include:
Quantum Biological Resonance technology, an innovation created by healthcare equipment providers from France and South Korea. This new technology helps with tissue healing and regeneration, improves circulation and also helps maintain healthy body temperature for optimal health. The device has received FDA approval.
Japanese acupressure point technology, this new equipment uses microcurrent and low frequency and helps to relieve the symptoms of blockage of lymphatic systems, a major cause of unhealthy breasts and stiff body.
Nano soothing diathermy with infrared, a new technology from South Korea that can emit healing thermal waves, helping to relax tensed muscles and relieve cramps during period. KFDA approved.
MFIR helps to improve circulation and helps to detox the body.
Oriental healing with a scientific edge
“Ananchi has always been a big believer in the traditional Asian concept of body self regulation and regenerative power. Asian wellness practices such as acupuncture, qigong and massages are becoming more accepted in modern countries including Japan and South Korea. With the new Ananchi wellness center opening, we are committed to offering more science-based oriental wellness treatments to the Hong Kong market.”
Through their outstanding performance as the PR Lead for the pre-release campaign of the latest song of Global C-Pop Artist Tia Lee (Lee Yu Fen), Goodbye Princess, the communications agency earned prestige in the “Best Video Story-Telling” Category.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 15 June 2023 – Greater China-based leading communications agency Creative Consulting Group (CCG), part of global communications agency Redhill, claimed the Best Video Story-Telling Bronze Award today at the PR Awards Asia-Pacific 2023 Dinner & Awards Presentation, taking place at the St. Regis Hotel in Wan Chai. This award gave recognition to CCG for their outstanding performance in being the PR lead and producer for the pre-release campaign of Goodbye Princess, global fashion icon, C-pop singer, film and television actress — Tia Lee’s (Lee Yu Fen) latest hit song that broke records.
CCG Team claimed the Best Video Story-Telling Bronze Award
It was the communication agency’s first time working on a singer’s pre-release, one that faced the pressure of a tight timeline of 3 months, needed to create enough buzz for the media to pick up on the campaign, and sought the amplification of Tia’s message of women empowerment. The CCG team took on this challenge by putting together a production team consisting of award-winning professionals, to plan and execute a 6-episode long animation series that placed Tia Lee as the main character, a metaphor for different aspects of her career in the entertainment industry.
Tia Lee Goodbye Princess Pre-Release Animation Campaign
“We are honored to be recognized for our hard work in this prestigious award, as we always strive to leverage on the power of effective storytelling in every PR campaign” said Belinda Chan, CCG’s Founder. “It was a delight to work with Tia Lee and her team, and a large part of this pre-release campaign’s success was due to Tia Lee’s artistic talent, as well as her team’s exceptional management and communication.”
In addition to putting together the animation series, the CCG team was also responsible for the preparation, strategy, and execution of marketing materials. An innovative Instagram marketing approach was employed where all of Tia Lee’s 138 Instagram posts were deleted a few days before the launch of Goodbye Princess, replacing them with 6 all-back posts appearing as a blue line striking through the middle in a six-square grid. This strategy was effective in generating hype and noise online, and raised many questions among fans. Three days before the release of the first episode, a series of 3 posts each day showing the gradual visual of a woman falling deeper into the ocean was shown alongside a numbered countdown.
CCG Team claimed the Best Video Story-Telling Bronze Award
“We needed a powerful, bold, detailed oriented and global approach to reach our target audience,” said Thriving Influence Limited. “Tia Lee is an incredible artist with a strong vision for women empowerment, and we are glad to have worked with CCG to create a campaign with such a wide reach and long-lasting impact.”
The result of Goodbye Princess’ pre-release campaign achieved a record-breaking success, with the official music video of Goodbye Princess earning 100 million views within 20 days of release. Each animation episode achieved an average number of over 1 million views on Instagram and over 5.5 million views on YouTube. In addition, a total of 2,400 news reports were obtained, including from United States media Variety and Billboard, United Kingdom media tmrw, Australia media 9Honey, Hong Kong Media HK01 and SCMP, and Taiwan media TVBs, Mirror, and ETtoday. Tia Lee also ended up as the featured magazine cover for Vogue magazine and Rollacoaster, as well being invited to join London Fashion week.
