The supply chain solutions expert REMIRA draws a positive balance for 2020 - and also names several reasons for this: The year has impressively shown that stable supply chains and transparency in the supply chain are elementary success factors for companies. The pressure on supply chains has increased further and digitization is being driven forward in many places. Especially in times of crisis, many users gain competitive advantages as a result. REMIRA was thus able to further expand its success in 2020. New customers and the development of new markets led to significant growth.

Following the successful integration of its acquisitions, REMIRA is continuing to push ahead with the realignment of its product and brand strategy. In future, the company will unite its brands under one roof. The preparatory work for this has already been carried out: REMIRA has networked the software solutions equipped with artificial intelligence into a complete package that covers the entire value-added chain. The aim is to promote technological progress with the supply chain solutions and thus to increase the economic success of the customers in the long term. 

Back to the roots: REMIRA GmbH has returned to its founding location in Dortmund. The specialist for intelligent IT solutions to optimise the supply chain has moved into a new office complex at Phoenix West. With the move to the ultra-modern premises REMIRA has created the prerequisites for continuing to provide its customers with comprehensive support and to meet the further positive development of the order situation.

Handing over the baton at REMIRA Group: The group of companies specializing in AI supply chain solutions has appointed Stephan Unser as its new CEO. The previous managing partner, Thomas Sindermann, is leaving the company after eleven years. He will continue to support REMIRA with his experience and expertise.

Readiness for delivery, fast deliveries and adherence to delivery dates - the demands on commercial and industrial companies are increasing every day. To meet these demands, REMIRA has now added the planning functionalities of TIA A3 to its purchasing division. The combination of the inventory management software LogoMate and the tool for sales & operations planning enables customers to have a holistic, forward-looking and economically successful goods management. 

A transparent procurement process throughout the entire supply chain is the goal of every buyer. But how do companies manage to integrate their suppliers into their workflows and digitalize processes in purchasing and logistics? With the supplier portal REMIRA has developed a web-based tool that makes this digitalization possible. The entire ordering and delivery process, including labelling, can thus be mapped on just one platform.

REMIRA continues its expansion with the purchase of Genova Consultancy and the associated, purely cloud-based solution PreSet. The iPad® app PreSet enables those involved in the development of new collections to regularly evaluate the individual designs online. Thanks to PreSet, which has already positioned itself for the entire fashion and furniture retail sector, REMIRA is strengthening its position and opening up new, international markets.
