Service Model Transformation is the largest and most important transformation our organization has undertaken over the last 50 years and will radically transform our entire end-to-end order management process.  The objective of the transformation is to re-engineer Avon's order management processes and systems across markets worldwide to enable our innovation and growth agenda.  It will support a wide range of critical business processes such as Campaign Management, Order Capture, Order Fulfillment, Field Management and Finance.  By creating a common platform built on global best practices, this journey will result in process standardization, improved efficiency, greater flexibility and best-in-class service for our Representatives.
