Digitalization initiatives from Niederkrüchten are being turned into reality

Logistics is a fundamental component of many companies. WILMS Tiefkühl-Service GmbH—founded in 1916 as a trading company—is a wholesale and logistics firm dedicated to finding customized solutions for its customers’ daily logistics challenges, particularly in the area of frozen food logistics. It makes no difference whether these challenges involve domestic or international logistics chains. From its base in Niederkrüchten, the company always prioritizes customer needs and consistently delivers the right solution.

Given the ever-increasing digitalization of both local and international markets, it is essential for a company of this size to proactively address this pressing issue in order to ensure that it can continue to meet such basic standards for its customers in the long term.

2019 haben sich INFORMATICS Life Sciences und WILMS zusammengesetzt, um mögliche Zukunftsszenarien in einem hoch digitalisierten Umfeld kritisch zu beleuchten. Dabei identifizierte man gemeinsam den zukünftigen Bedarf von intelligenten Softwarelösungen für den „Tiefkühldienstleister von morgen“. Schnell wurde dabei das Bewusstsein etabliert, dass eine Digitalisierung der Geschäftsprozesse mit SAP S/4HANA eine sinnvolle und langfristige Allround-Lösung ist, um zukünftig auf eine stark aufgestellte ERP-Basis im Unternehmen zu setzen.

Following a thorough analysis of WILMS’s business processes and taking long-term strategic considerations into account, the decision was made to move away from the previous standalone solutions from other software vendors and to implement SAP’s state-of-the-art logistics-specific software modules directly. In addition to the SAP S/4HANA Digital Core, this includes the complementary solutions “Extended Warehouse Management” and “Transportation Management.”
