Collaboration with retailers and suppliers is extremely complex in many industries, but especially in the fashion industry. Especially with a global supply chain, it is difficult for companies to keep track of and monitor the individual production steps of suppliers and their upstream suppliers. This is the only way to identify potential risks such as supply bottlenecks, quality issues or supply chain violations early on and take appropriate countermeasures. In this blog post, we use the example of the fashion industry to explain how you can manage all these unique challenges when working with your suppliers.

Over 24,000 products in almost 330 stores: The product range of RTV EURO AGD, the Polish market leader for consumer electronics, is huge. The Polish retailer relies on REMIRA LOGOMATE for inventory management in order to reduce and simultaneously optimize the resulting planning effort.

Many companies and suppliers initially shy away from the term “EDI” - too expensive, too complex, too complicated. Although electronic data interchange has many advantages, it is usually only used by larger companies that are not afraid of the investment. Many people are unaware that there is also a solution for small and medium-sized companies. We are talking about WebEDI, which enables digital communication with suppliers without a great deal of effort. In this blog article, we explain exactly how these SaaS portals work and what the advantages are!

Less effort and more transparency: Hama GmbH & Co. KG will simplify order processing and communication with suppliers in the future with the SaaS solution SUPPLIERCOLLABORATION.NET from REMIRA. As a central platform, the software will support the process from order processing, order changes, transport planning and control through to goods receipt, thus enabling efficient and transparent processing. 

From 50 to 100: With three acquisitions at the beginning of the year, REMIRA has continued its expansion in Italy and doubled the number of employees in the country. The companies Proelia, IambOO and Giuneco are now part of REMIRA Italia. The supply chain and omnichannel commerce specialist, which was advised by Ernst & Young, is thus continuing its strategic growth and further expanding its market position.

In the pharmaceutical industry in particular, far-sighted and strategic planning is of central importance.  This applies not only to human medicine, but also to veterinary pharmacists such as LIVISTO. The company opted for REMIRA TIA A3 for the health of thousands of livestock and pets. And thanks to forward-looking demand planning, it is always able to deliver.

Green as far as the eye can see: bellaflora, Austria's leading company for natural gardening and decorating, offers around 25,000 products. The family-run company generates more than two thirds of its sales with plants for the garden and interior. The strong seasonal fluctuations and the associated risk of spoilage pose particular challenges in replenishment. In order to meet these challenges in the best possible way, bellaflora relies on the REMIRA LOGOMATE inventory management software and has been able to significantly reduce the spoilage rate. 

Best-before dates, seasonalities and demand determination: The challenges in the food industry are high. To master them successfully, Backshop Tiefkühl GmbH has been relying on REMIRA LOGOMATE since the middle of 2022. The inventory management software enables the company to determine and forecast the demand for all articles in order to avoid out-of-stock situations as well as to reduce the replenishment effort through automated processes.

Efficiency, structure and standardization of processes in the warehouse: The direction of travel for the fabric expert Hemmers Itex was clear. In 2020, the wholesale company from Nordhorn decided to introduce a warehouse management system to minimize warehouse throughput times and thereby improve delivery times. The choice fell on DILOS, the proven warehouse management system of the software provider REMIRA. By using the WMS, Hemmer Itex was able to improve delivery time and delivery quality by 40%, among other things, and halve the error rate in order picking.   

To ensure that there is no "fire" in the warehouse, the Gemeinschaft Feuerwehrfachhandel Deutschland (gfd®) has been relying on the REMIRA DILOS warehouse management system since March 2021. With the help of the software, gfd was able to map its multi-level logistics concept with picking and reserve warehouse. In addition, the picking process and resource planning were made more structured and transparent. 

Only one day instead of two weeks: The system supplier Primus Präzisionstechnik has replaced the time-consuming and cost-intensive full inventory on the balance sheet date with an inventory sampling service using REMIRA STATCONTROL. As a result, the inventory duration was reduced by 93% to one working day, and the man-hours required fell by 82%.

Two hours of time saving in every Fressnapf store: The REMIRA LOGOMATE inventory management software, which has already been used for many years by Fressnapf Holding SE in wholesale to ensure optimum stock levels, is now also being used in a further version in chain stores. The fully automated and forecast-based ordering system also comes with a user interface via app. In addition to saving a great deal of time, this also significantly increases the availability of goods for customers. The app is already being used in just under 1,000 stores, and all stores are to be connected by the end of 2022.

Logistics and retail know no boundaries when it comes to optimizing and modernizing processes. External factors influence numerous areas such as delivery times and consumer buying behavior. They ensure that companies must constantly rethink and adjust their strategy. Software solutions for the supply chain and omnichannel commerce are among the biggest growth markets in the IT industry today. With a newly structured partner program, REMIRA now enables IT service providers as well as system and consulting companies to enter these attractive business areas.

Counting only 50 items instead of 500: The globally active German pharmaceutical company medac GmbH successfully carried out its first sample stocktaking service with REMIRA STATCONTROL in March. medac is the only German pharmaceutical company to offer both therapeutics and diagnostics from its own development and production. In their search for certified inventory software, those responsible at medac came across STATCONTROL.

Supply chain law, corona, Brexit, etc. - The signs are pointing to a storm and supply chains are becoming increasingly shaky. Companies are trying to react as quickly and flexibly as possible to unpredictable market changes in order to maintain their ability to deliver or produce. But what happens if a key partner is unable to deliver or fails to meet standards? What is the plan B? How can risks in the supply chain be identified at an early stage? Digital supplier management is an important success factor in this context. Find out why in this blog post.
