Increasing market volatility, uncertain supply chains and growing sustainability obligations are constantly increasing the challenges in supply chain management. Companies need to act now and use innovative technologies to future-proof their processes and supply chains. REMIRA presents four key supply chain trends for 2025.
Utz GmbH & Co KG is now using LOGOMATE from REMIRA to optimize its daily scheduling processes. The system provides AI-supported sales forecasts as well as automatic ordering and replenishment suggestions. Thanks to this collaboration, the food wholesaler is reducing its replenishment costs and improving inventory quality.
As a renowned wholesaler for tires, wheels, rims and vehicle components, Bohnenkamp SE has more than 20 locations in Central and Eastern Europe. The replenishment of the approximately 16,000 stock keeping units (SKU) is a complex logistical challenge. Three years ago, the company therefore introduced the LOGOMATE replenishment management software from REMIRA. The AI-based application recognizes patterns in the movement of goods and automatically makes order suggestions based on these patterns. The introduction of the software has significantly reduced the planning workload. At the same time, the availability of goods has increased.
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.
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.
After a 4 month implementation and testing period over the quiet summer period, Yara went live on Data Shelter. The project was executed in close collaboration with a representation of the end users. The solution delivers on 3 key functionalities:
With Rijk Zwaan Australia, another 4 users have stepped on board for their daily job of demand forecasting and replenishment planning.
