B2B App Solutions

1. The CosmEthics B2B app is open to full customization to take into account the consumer’s allergies, wishes and other constraints to analyze the product, (using the barcode scanner). The screen displays the analyzed products, and you receive an alert, if it contains unwanted ingredients. Recommendations are made based on activated alerts and your inventory to find the most suitable product for each customer based on their needs. We offer this tool in Finnish, English for your convenience. Other languages such as Chinese and French are also available at an additional fee, if you are interested in serving tourists.
2. Our B2B customized mobile app offers an ingredient dictionary that links to Wikipedia (where approx. 70% of all ingredients can be found). You tap in the INCI name to get more information. For example, the INCI listing of “Cera Alba” can be tapped, and a translation into common language ‘Beeswax’, appears onscreen. The language of the descriptions is English.
3. The greatest benefit for the sales staff is that their time is used more efficiently as the analysis will be displayed in seconds on a smartphone or tablet (iPad). Furthermore, it helps the sales staff from being put into a position where they are uncomfortable or unfamiliar with the customer’s special request(s) as the App presents alternative products, e.g vegan or plastic free, if requested. Solutions can be found instantly without having to read through the entire INCI label of multiple products, ensuring the staff to provide the best product for each individual customer at a quick pace. Alert lists are conveniently embedded inside the app on various themes.
4. Finding the location of the product instore is made with ease as this service guides you to a shelf location. The Shelf location Service uses Indoor Atlas’s magnetic field technology to guide the App user (sale’s person) to the correct shelf.

Conditions for implementation of the shelf location service are delivery of:

1. The floor plan at street level
2. The floor plan of the shelves at street level, especially the cosmetics shelves and brand positions

The CosmEthics team will implement the integration of navigation routes and the location of the products, programming and testing.

Product Reviews

The current consumer app has more than 100 000 products, 130 000 users and 1.3 million scans. Each product is eligible for a review — this data is available for B2B customers to use on their web shops or on other product info. CosmEthics does not change the reviews — they are all authentic. An access to the reviews requires of course the particular product to be available on the database. Please read the Data transfer section should you wish to send product data to us.

Web Plugin Tool

The consumer app has algorithm and a database that scans through thousand of chemicals on each product data. The web plugin tool is an API that works seamlessly with your web shop. The customers entering your shop can enjoy the same filter tools than on the consumer app — customised to your store collection. The purchasing process is faster and more convenient: instead of manually going through hundreds of INCI labels the Web plugin tool will scan for allergens, plastics and chemicals as per the customer specification. This allows finding a suitable product faster.

INCI Dictionary

The INCI Dictionary translates the ingredient label name to its common name (eg. cera alba - beeswax) . Currently serving English as the common name translation language.
