Supply Chain in Retail and the Consumer Goods Industry

In the area of logistics IT, we support you in setting up and operating SAP partner solutions, in particular the integrated ERP system SAP S/4HANA. This innovative solution makes the procurement management of retail and consumer goods companies more transparent and efficient. Strong supplier management ensures the technical and economic optimization of the value chain, while active price and condition management increases the transparency and sensitivity of purchase prices. Supplemented by our in-house platform platbricks® and our Supply Chain Visibility solutions, you gain transparency across your entire supply chain, enabling you to holistically process and track goods ordering and procurement logistics, as well as the settlement of orders placed within the company. 

As a consumer goods manufacturer, you can optimize your production by implementing SAP S/4HANA. You can manage your bills of materials, organize the materials you need, and optimize your routing from raw materials to finished products. This ensures the smooth and efficient manufacture of your products. With SAP S/4HANA, you can also support your quality management by adjusting your processes to meet specified requirements and staying informed about times, quantities, qualities, or malfunctions. This allows you to compare your actual production data with your target values. 

As an IT logistics expert, we offer SAP and cloud solutions as well as state-of-the-art AI, big data and robotics solutions for the sustainable digitalization and automation of supply chain processes for retail and consumer goods companies. These include warehouse management with SAP EWM, transportation management with SAP TM, inventory management with the support of platbricks® and aroma®, including goods allocation, replenishment and stock transfers, as well as product tracking and monitoring with Arvato CSDB. In order to prevent supply bottlenecks and shorten transport routes, we also offer a particularly simple and efficient solution for setting up micro-depots with platbricks®. These serve as additional transshipment points for goods in urban areas and enable faster and more flexible delivery to customers. You save time, money and CO2 on the last mile and delight your customers with fast and efficient processes. 

Our platform solutions support the circular economy by connecting relevant stakeholders. platbricks® facilitates cooperation between collection points, recycling companies, and authorities to reduce your resource consumption and environmental impact. 

With platbricks® and aroma®, we also offer you IT solutions for the ship-from-store concept: from the webshop to delivery to the customer, we manage the entire shipping process and thus strengthen your brick-and-mortar business. Our omnichannel platform, aroma®, can also support you with intuitive in-store tools to keep your inventory up to date at all touch points. Benefit from increased cost efficiency and a reduced carbon footprint by using your stores as shipping warehouses.
