After several years of pilot and validation efforts across different teams, Beiersdorf and Uncountable have established a long-term partnership in AI-assisted product development.
Beiersdorf, a global company renowned for its skin care brands like NIVEA, Eucerin, Hansaplast, Coppertone, or La Prairie, constantly strives to deliver better, more sustainable skin care products even faster to consumers. Over the past three years, the two companies have worked closely on numerous high priority and high complexity product development efforts. Employing the Uncountable AI-technology, Beiersdorf scientists found that they spend much less time looking for high-quality data and can focus on analyzing and learning from their data. Modeling formulations on the Uncountable platform, e.g. resulted in shortened development times.
“Uncountable has been a highly valuable partner for us in the development of our predictive formulation capabilities”, said Thomas Schornstein, Lab Manager Future Lab Applied Digitalization. “What has made the partnership remarkably successful is that our formulators are treating this digital tool like a seamless extension of their own expertise, allowing them to build on their own knowledge rather than competing with a generic digital model. We are looking forward to growing our partnership with Uncountable the next years.”
