L'Oréal Powers Up SkinCeuticals' eShop Growth with Appier's AI-Driven Advertising and Marketing Solutions
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 28 April 2025 - Appier, a leading AI-native AdTech and MarTech company, announced its successful collaboration with L'Oréal, which was recognized at the Loyalty & Engagement Awards Hong Kong 2025 in the 'Best Use of Customer Insights/Data Analytics' category for the AI-powered transformation of SkinCeuticals' eShop.
Appier's AI-driven solutions empower L'Oréal to accelerate SkinCeuticals' eShop growth.
This award highlights the success of a full-funnel, data-driven strategy that delivered measurable business outcomes and set a new benchmark for AI applications in beauty e-commerce. In partnership with Omnicom Media Group (OMG) and powered by Appier's Ad Cloud and Personalization Cloud, L'Oréal significantly enhanced SkinCeuticals' marketing performance, achieving a 152% quarter-over-quarter increase in ROAS, a 400% uplift in CVR among hesitant users, and a 48% boost in total on-site revenue.
'Appier helped us accelerate AI transformation in advertising and marketing, boosting revenue contributions while enhancing operational effectiveness,' said Maggie Hui, SkinCeuticals & Kérastase E-Commerce Manager at L'Oréal. 'From behavior-triggered campaigns and time-limited incentives to advanced segmentation and seamless user journeys, Appier's technology played a crucial role in turning data insights into action.'
Appier's AI solutions enabled L'Oréal to strategically identify and engage high-value customer segments.

These two apps finally fixed my creative workflow
Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority For years, Notion has been my go-to for organizing everything from invoices to movie watchlists. Its flexibility as a database is unmatched, but when it came to creative workflows like jotting down spontaneous ideas, threading together thoughts, and collecting visual inspiration, that's where Notion starts to feel a bit rigid. I needed something that didn't ask me to file every passing idea into a system the moment it showed up. That's just not how a creative flow works. At least not for me. I needed a tool that didn't ask every idea to fit into a system the moment it showed up. I know, I know. Obsidian is the usual answer here with its unending customisation and the famed graph view. But I wanted something cloud-first. So I began looking for a tool that could complement, if not replace, what Notion already does so well. That's how I found myself bouncing between Notion and Capacities for the better part of a year. Like most people trying to organize their digital life, I started with one, flirted with the other, then went back and forth until I realized something simple: these two tools aren't competing. They're completing each other. Here's why building a system that uses both apps works so well for me. Capacities is where I think, Notion is where I act Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority The trick, as always, wasn't picking a side at the get-go. It was figuring out what each tool is actually good at — and then staying out of their way. That realization changed how I approached both tools. For example, I stopped using Notion as a space for unstructured notes. Not because it can't do that, but because it never felt natural. You can create endless pages and subpages, sure. You can embed anything you want. But that multi-page hierarchy quickly spirals out of control. I was using Notion to catalog interesting places in cities I want to visit, and over time, that structure became a maze — multiple layers deep, hard to navigate, and harder to maintain. Notion thrives when there's structure and purpose. It's where I build systems that are borderline automatic in execution. Capacities works best when there's none. It's where I think. The moment I stopped trying to force one app to do it all, things clicked, and I could move between them without friction, letting each tool handle what it's built for instead of bending it into something it's not. Capacities doesn't ask you to polish your thoughts before capturing them. It's not just a user interface issue. It's a mindset issue. Notion forces you establish tables, databases and more the moment you decide to enter in some data. This makes me feel like every idea needs a home before it even exists. That pressure to organize too early kills my creative flow and inhibits how much I use Notion. I might have the ideas, but the environment doesn't feel right. You wouldn't want to work in Google Sheets for capturing ideas. Notion's rigidity has the same effect. Capacities flips that dynamic. You don't start with a table or a template — you start with an object. Notes, images, bookmarks, and files are all loosely organized by type and stitched together with backlinks. It's closer to how Obsidian works and feels more like a living network than a rigid notebook. That one shift changes everything. I don't worry about where a thought belongs. I just capture it, drop in a few tags, and move on. I'll clean it up later. Or not. A place to gather ideas without having to polish them first Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority When I'm in creative mode doing anything from writing to outlining something vague, my go-to app is Capacities. If I'm collecting screenshots, reference visuals, creating to-do notes or compiling quotes across multiple articles, it all goes there, easily cross-referenced by Capacities' take on a graph view. I can write half a thought, leave it for a week, and come back to find it already connected to three other ideas I forgot I had. That's not just good design. That's momentum. And it is critical in allowing me to jump back into work and be in a creative space almost immediately. Trying to think in Notion can feel like brainstorming in a spreadsheet. At the risk of sounding loquacious, Capacities offers an environment that invites exploration. This includes the way Capacities treats images which can be inline, full-bleed, or tied to objects allowing you to effectively turn it into a gallery, not just a document. That might seem like a small thing, but when you're spending hours sketching outlines or piecing together visual references, it adds up. You're not just writing. You're effectively building an interconnected web of ideas — something I've struggled with in Notion. Apple's wildly different FreeForm tool offers the closest, but not quite the same, experience. On the other hand, Notion doesn't work like that. It's structured. Precise. Sometimes a little too precise. But that's exactly why it works so well for everything else. Notion is still where my life lives Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority Capacities may be better for thinking, but Notion still runs the day-to-day. This is where I track invoices, update my reading list, monitor freelance projects, and check off recurring tasks. When I know what I'm tracking — things like client deliverables, brand campaigns, editorial calendars — Notion is unbeatable. I can build databases with views and filters, connect them with automation, and set up reminders that actually help. It's purpose-built for that kind of work. Tools like Notion Forms make it a killer home for long-term data, and on-the-fly additions. Unlike Capacities, Notion offers a kind of safety in knowing that everything has a place. If I log something today, I'll know exactly where to find it three weeks later. It also makes it incredibly easy to add data on the go. When I want to add something quickly like, say, a new restaurant I've spotted on Instagram, I use a Notion Form I set up to log key details straight into my food database. Name, location, cuisine, tags, and that's it. The form is saved as a bookmark on my phone's homepage and lets me accomplish the task in seconds. That's the kind of frictionless utility Notion excels at. I've tried doing that inside Capacities, and while there is a table view, it still feels like an afterthought. It's not really built for structured data entry, nor is it very good at making sense of large volumes of data. They solve different problems — so stop comparing them Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority The biggest mistake is thinking these two tools are solving the same problem. They're not. They both let you write, collect, embed, and organize. But what they do with those abilities is totally different. Capacities is designed for creativity and knowledge exploration. Similar to Obsidian, everything in its interface is nudging you to connect ideas through backlinks, nested objects, graph views. It's less of a productivity tool and more of a creative studio. When I'm not quite sure what I'm working on, but I know I want to chase an idea, Capacities gives me the room to do that. Notion, on the other hand, is more like a traditional work tool. It doesn't ask you to explore. It asks you to decide, define, and commit. And that matters because how we feel when using these tools often dictates whether we use them at all. While it is certainly possible to use either of these tools exclusively, Notion's structured approach to data types makes it feel like a chore. In fact, I've tried to commit to Notion several times, but every single time it felt I was underusing it because my notes were messy or incomplete. But that wasn't a Notion problem. That was a mismatch. Once I gave that role to Capacities instead, Notion stopped feeling like a burden and started being useful again. The takeaway There's no straight-up winner here. Capacities helped me get comfortable with a messy workflow again. It gave me back the ability to think in fragments and collect ideas without committing. It's a tool for planning and for users still getting used to the idea of knowledge management. In fact, I'd say it's the perfect PKM tool for the first-time user. On the other hand, Notion helps me make order out of chaos. It's the tool I trust to hold the pieces together once I know what they are. Be it large databases of pitches, invoices, things to do, restaurants to check out, Notion is great for that kind of workflow. That said, at the end of the day, both tools taught me to stop looking for the perfect app and start building a better workflow instead. For me, it was a combination of Capacities and Notion.

How SAP Is Managing AI And Data To Meet ERP Customers Where They Are
SAP CEO Christian Klein opened SAP Sapphire 2025 by highlighting today's business uncertainty and ... More emphasizing SAP's focus on helping customers adapt to new trade rules, regulations and technologies. The discussions at SAP's Sapphire 2025 event in Orlando were different than in previous years — focused, grounded and more customer-centric. SAP's key message was clear: ERP transformation doesn't need to be disruptive, nor is it one-size-fits-all. This is so important — and welcome — because many customers are still operating in hybrid computing environments, managing legacy on-premises systems while also moving some functions to the cloud, and they're navigating complex change cycles. Instead of urging them to leap into the unknown, SAP presented a more modular path centered on embedded AI, flexible data platforms and tools built to meet organizations where they are. I think this pragmatic messaging is a smart approach for SAP, and it was backed up by the announcements from the company throughout the conference. (Note: SAP is an advisory client of my firm, Moor Insights & Strategy.) One of the core architectural shifts discussed was SAP's effort to unify its platform. This is realized through tighter integration of the Business Technology Platform, SAP Business Suite and the Business Data Cloud, which entered controlled general availability earlier this year. BDC, which I wrote about in an earlier Forbes piece, consolidates services including SAP Datasphere, HANA Cloud, SAP Analytics Cloud and BW/4HANA into a single managed environment. It supports both SAP and non-SAP data and is built to reduce fragmentation, simplify access and support analytics, AI models and simulations without data duplication. BDC also includes extended support for older SAP BW systems, offering customers a bridge to modern cloud analytics with less disruption. Meanwhile, the Business Technology Platform (which you'll hear the company call BTP) continues to serve as SAP's foundation for extensibility and automation. On top of that, SAP Build — a tool for creating apps with little to no coding — now includes AI features to help generate code, design user interfaces and automate business logic. These improvements should help both technical and business teams build applications more efficiently and manage workflows with less effort. Integrating Joule — the company's generative AI assistant — across SAP Build, Analytics Cloud and key business applications reflects SAP's intention to make AI a daily utility, not a separate layer or some special extra feature. Among other functions, Joule can now generate and automate processes, surface contextual insights, launch prebuilt AI agents tailored to specific functions, answer natural-language questions and recommend actions based on real-time business data. SAP's AI assistant, Joule, helps orchestrate processes across key business areas such as finance, ... More supply chain, HR and customer experience. SAP's AI strategy is now rooted in an AI-first approach, with AI embedded across the portfolio, and its updated platform reflects this shift. At the center of this is the 'Business AI flywheel,' SAP's framework for linking applications, real-time data and AI — including agents — to support continuous improvement. This 'flywheel' concept includes the Business Data Cloud and Joule. Indeed, Joule plays a central role in this strategy. It's no longer just a task-based assistant — it's becoming an interface that works across products. With integrations for WalkMe (which SAP acquired in 2024) for in-app guidance and Perplexity AI for contextual search, Joule can provide real-time support based on company data. At Sapphire 2025, SAP also introduced AI Foundation, a centralized environment for building, managing and deploying AI agents. To keep those agents working properly, tools like Joule Studio and governance features powered by SAP LeanIX allow organizations to track how AI agents align with business capabilities. Looking ahead, SAP plans to embed AI into 400 business use cases by the end of 2025, reflecting its commitment to making AI part of the everyday experience rather than a standalone function. At the conference, SAP also introduced new intelligent applications built on the Business Data Cloud. These apps address specific needs — People Intelligence for workforce planning, Green Ledger for sustainability reporting, Spend Control Tower for managing procurement and supplier risk, 360 Customer for enhancing customer insights and engagement and the Sustainability Tower for tracking and improving ESG performance. Rather than offering broad, unfocused capabilities, each of these apps is designed to use AI and simulation to support targeted business scenarios. Support for ERP transformation projects remains a priority. SAP has repositioned its RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP programs to reflect the distinct needs of existing and new ERP customers. RISE with SAP is a comprehensive transformation framework for current on-premises SAP ERP customers that are moving to S/4HANA in the cloud. Meanwhile, GROW with SAP focuses on net-new customers adopting SAP cloud-based ERP and includes community-based support and best practices. Both programs are backed by SAP's Integrated Toolchain, which enables architectural modeling, scenario simulation, governance and user adoption planning. The Business Transformation Center, which comes with SAP support licenses, is another potentially helpful addition. BTC helps customers move their systems step by step, archiving old ones. This is a big deal for customers who are hesitant to make significant changes. SAP Build has also been improved to support these transformation projects with low-code and pro-code extensions powered by embedded AI. SCM was one of the more practical focus areas at the event. SAP showed how AI agents help with tasks like demand forecasting, supply chain planning and spotting issues in logistics and operations. Some customers shared early results, saying they've seen better visibility, faster cycle times and improved compliance, especially as they deal with today's shifting trade rules and global supply chain uncertainty. SAP connected this to the idea of Industry 5.0, where automation and AI still leave room for human judgment, accountability and transparency. That message seemed to land especially well with customers in healthcare, manufacturing and the public sector, where AI explainability makes a big difference. SAP also highlighted its growing partner ecosystem, which continues to expand the company's AI and data capabilities. Partners include Google Cloud for machine learning and analytics, Microsoft for productivity tools and infrastructure and AWS for industry-specific AI use cases. Accenture is supporting pre-configured cloud solutions to speed up deployment. Palantir contributes to operational modeling, while Cohere, Mistral AI and Deloitte's Zora AI focus on bringing scalable language models into SAP's environment. As touched on earlier, the partnership with Perplexity AI adds real-time, context-aware search directly into Joule. Databricks — already integrated with SAP's Business Data Cloud through a special partnership — is helping accelerate AI model development. Syniti is working with SAP to address data quality and data readiness, which is a key hurdle for many organizations. To its credit, SAP did not downplay the ongoing hurdles that its customers face. At the event, different customers expressed concern over pricing clarity, the complexity of transitioning to cloud deployments, the delayed availability of key features like full BDC rollout and Joule agent capabilities, and the challenge of mapping all the new tools to practical use cases. Many enterprises also still face foundational issues such as data fragmentation, siloed processes and limited organizational capacity for change. While SAP's tools are definitely improving, customers still need stronger enablement measures and more tailored roadmaps to act with confidence. With this in mind, I think SAP would benefit from focusing more on practical, outcome-driven roadmaps that show customers how new tools actually solve real business problems. It should make it easier to understand how features such as Joule and BDC fit into day-to-day workflows, not just how they fit conceptually. Customers also need more hands-on help — like clear migration plans, industry-specific examples and partner workshops — to build confidence and move forward faster. SAP Sapphire 2025 made it clear that SAP is focusing on helping customers move forward without forcing big, disruptive changes. This year's updates were about making things easier to manage — like better integration across BTP, the SAP Business Suite and the Business Data Cloud. That kind of unification matters for customers trying to connect data, simplify their systems and get more value from what they already have. SAP also expanded its partner network in useful ways to give customers access to more resources, whether that means getting help with cloud infrastructure, AI model development or real-time search. These are practical ways to expand what SAP can offer without trying to build everything in-house. I think customers still have concerns. Many are cautious about moving to the cloud, and with good reason — data cleanup, change management, pricing clarity and keeping things running during the transition are all real challenges. SAP's tools like the BTC and the reworked RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP programs are built to help with this, but organizations want clear guidance, too. In the end, SAP's message was that transformation doesn't have to mean tearing everything out and starting over. Most customers aren't looking for dramatic change; they want progress they can manage. SAP is starting to reflect that more in its products and messaging, and the shift is noticeable. For the ERP world, it's a reminder that the best path forward might not be the fastest, but the one that actually fits.
