Companion Factory for agents connected to operational systems
L'Oréal's Companion Factory enabled more than 2 business-agent launches per month
Problem
L'Oréal France's separate AI projects lacked a common framework for deploying agents. Inconsistent purchase-order preparation created manual corrections.
Approach
L'Oréal and AVISIA built a central agent platform with shared approval and monitoring. Agents connected to business systems through MCP. A purchasing Companion extracted quotation details, checked supplier records and prepared shopping baskets.
Results
Takeaway
A shared platform supported repeated launches. The launch rate did not measure purchasing savings or payment improvements.
