S&OP and IBP in comparison: what are the differences and similarities?

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.

INTERSPORT KRUMHOLZ: Optimized shopping experience and customer service thanks to REMIRA INSTORE app

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.

EuroCIS: REMIRA presents the fully digital retail customer journey

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.
