Challenge

Groupe SEB aimed to scale and modernize its EcoRenove circular program across multiple brands (Moulinex & Rowenta) and markets. However, the absence of a unified circular operations platform created significant complexity and limited the program’s ability to scale.

• Fragmented Multi-Brand Operations: Without a unified platform to manage trade-in incentives across brands and countries, operations remained fragmented, resulting in inconsistent customer experiences and siloed processes.
• Voucher Management Silos: Scaling the EcoRenove program was hindered by manual, spreadsheet-based tracking of thousands of unique promotional codes.
• Incentive Validation Risks: Manual verification of returned items caused processing delays and increased the risk of issuing vouchers for non-eligible or incorrect products.
• Reverse Logistics Complexity:  Coordinating home pickups for small appliances was complex and costly without automated carrier integrations and real-time tracking.‍
• Data & Compliance Gaps: Lack of centralized tracking made it difficult to generate reliable data for WEEE (e-waste) compliance and ESG reporting.
