The winkler group of companies, headquartered in Stuttgart, will optimize its operational processes by using the LOGOMATE inventory management software from REMIRA in future. The main objective of the company, which specializes in spare parts for commercial vehicles, is to increase the availability of goods while reducing the amount of manual planning required.
The product portfolio of screw and fastening parts wholesaler WEWO comprises more than 600,000 different parts. The company guarantees immediate product availability for around 40,000 items. Reliable procurement planning and scheduling are required to ensure that the right quantity is always in stock. The employees are significantly supported in this by the LOGOMATE inventory management software from REMIRA.
Sustainable food production as an overriding goal: Producing companies are faced with the challenge of having to operate sustainably and yet profitably. However, these two factors do not necessarily have to be mutually exclusive. Instead of investing in expensive and numerous production machines and constantly increasing storage and production space, it is worth taking a look at the optimization of existing resources. How can a company produce as efficiently as possible given the circumstances? Integrated Business Planning (IBP) is playing an increasingly important role in the food industry in particular. In this blog article, we explain why this is the case and how the approach works.
High energy and fuel prices, raw material shortages and uncertain supply chains: The situation in food logistics remains tense. The German organic food retailer Alnatura is also feeling the effects. Fabian Meyer, Head of Logistics & Supply Chain Management at Alnatura, explains how the company, which has been using REMIRA LOGOMATE inventory management software for many years, is dealing with the challenges.
The challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic have increased dramatically, especially for companies in the hygiene and medical products sector. In these times, optimal scheduling is essential for the company's success. But even before Covid-19 had logistics under control, Kruse Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Neumünster, which sells goods and services in the cleaning, hygiene, disposable and medical products sectors, was looking for inventory management software. This was intended to automate the previous manual scheduling and at the same time improve delivery capability.
REMIRA has appointed finance expert Ralph Hartwig as its new CFO with effect from June 1, 2024. This completes the management team of the software provider, which was reorganized at the end of 2023 and consists of CEO Dirk Bingler, Mario Raatz (CSO), Dennis Dreibrodt (COO), Elena Peter (CTO Commerce) and Oliver Jenneskens (CTO Supply Chain). The focus is now on transforming the internationally active software company from a product to a platform provider for AI-based supply chain planning and unified commerce. In addition, the management team wants to further drive growth and company integration within the group.
Effective planning is essential for companies to be able to adapt value chains to volatile markets. In supply chain management in particular, a cross-functional process is necessary to coordinate supply and demand and all parties involved. Supply chain planning, inventory management and other supply chain management functions are often planned and implemented independently of each other. Sales & Operations Planning and Integrated Business Planning have established themselves as planning approaches at this point. In this blog post, we will explain the differences, similarities and potential of the two approaches.
With around 50,000 items and five stationary stores, of which the location in Mühlheim-Kärlich alone covers more than 4,000 square meters, INTERSPORT KRUMHOLZ is one of the largest retailers in the German INTERSPORT network. To digitalize and simplify its store processes, the sporting goods retailer decided to introduce the REMIRA INSTORE app in mid-2019. This was accompanied by the goal of increasing the consulting capacity on the sales floor, reducing waiting times for customers and making processes faster, more efficient and more cost-effective. As a result, customers benefit from a significantly optimized shopping experience and employees can carry out all services - from stock queries to the checkout process - directly on the sales floor.
The modern retail world is characterized by the use of numerous systems from a wide range of providers. Particularly in retail, software companies are reluctant to integrate solutions from other providers. We believe, however, that only by linking different systems can real added value be created for customers and retailers alike. At EuroCIS in Düsseldorf, from the 27th to the 29th of February 2024, REMIRA will be displaying how a fully digitally supported customer journey can be realized in stationary retail. Together with their partners and their customer Pier 14, the Dortmund-based software provider will be presenting several interesting showcases at booth E21 in Hall 9.
OUTPERFORM Planning has been a vital tool for Wilson Electronics as they work through the drastic demand shifts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. OUTPERFORM Planning has been the execution arm of their business discussions as they frequently review multiple demand scenarios and their associated impact on both labor and material planning.
OUTPERFORM Planning was selected by Keystone Foods to optimize the overall Supply Chain at the US Proteins division. The ability to integrate the slaughter plan with the portion control plan and further production plan was essential to meet their business needs. It also provides the ability to run "make vs buy" scenarios to make timely decisions that will provide the best return.
After a review and initial project scope discussions, Wastech has selected OUTPERFORM for the optimization and week to week planning of their waste handling and transportation network. Outperform network analysis will be used to support this challenge and expanded to place more emphasis on the transportation constraints that drive Wastech's operation.
After a successful implementation of Data Shelter in June 2011, Blue Diamond Growers decided to extend their use of the Outperform software to include Replenishment planning and Master Scheduling. Once complete in April 2012, Blue Diamond's Sales and Operations Planning process will be run with REMIRA software. OUTPERFORM Planning will be tightly integrated with the Adage ® ERP system through its Data Shelter functionality.
