Modern IT systems for efficient retail

We operate and modernise your IT – you strengthen your business

As part of the critical infrastructure, the retail sector is caught between tradition and digital innovation. Customers now expect a seamless shopping experience, whether they are shopping in a traditional brick-and-mortar store or using an online shop, and they also expect fast checkouts and hybrid models such as click & collect. Price comparisons, immediate product availability, personalised offers and cross-channel services have become the norm. At the same time, competitive pressure, sustainability requirements and market dynamics are increasing.

For this reason, data must be used efficiently and securely, processes must be digitised throughout, and IT systems must be adaptable. Legacy systems that have evolved over time, a lack of process and data integration, and high IT security requirements often make operations difficult. However, these factors are essential for modern supply chain processes and effective merchandise management systems.

Efficient supply chain management thanks to intelligent IT solutions

We support retail companies in operating their existing system landscape cost-effectively and developing it in a targeted manner, positioning their IT strategically for the future, automating processes end-to-end and optimising customer experiences in the long term. In doing so, we combine technological expertise with in-depth industry knowledge and a clear focus on measurable business benefits.

Expertise in key retail processes

We understand retail: we are familiar with processes in logistics, warehousing, POS systems and warehouse management systems, and know how they are mapped in the IT system world.

Customised software solutions

We create solutions that noticeably increase efficiency, transparency and process reliability in everyday retail, whether it is about further developing existing applications or developing new systems. In legacy structures or state-of-the-art technologies.

Confident handling of legacy systems

We provide reliable support for legacy systems and, if necessary, gradually integrate them into modern IT structures without jeopardising operational processes.

Agile coaching for sustainable teams

With our many years of experience in agile transformation, we strengthen IT teams in the long term, increase project stability and the predictability of delivery artefacts, and enhance the maturity of your product organisation.

Nearshoring at attractive conditions

Our nearshoring teams provide high-quality, flexible capacity at attractive rates, making them ideal for large-scale modernisation and transformation projects in retail.

Mobile device management specialists

As experienced MDM experts, we optimise warehouse logistics, branch processes and customer service by managing mobile devices centrally – a key component of modern store operations.

Mobile sales apps for efficient sales

Our mobile sales apps have been successfully used since 2014 to support data-driven, flexible and mobile sales processes in retail and wholesale environments.

Future-proof IT for smart retail and branch processes

Structural and technological hurdles slow down the growth and efficiency of your business. We overcome these challenges by implementing well-considered digital processes and robust, forward-looking IT solutions.

We take care of the support and further development of your historically grown IT systems. Missing documentation? No problem! We know that the truth lies in the code – and that’s exactly where we start. Our experts can also penetrate complex business logic and create the basis for smooth, stable and future-proof operation of your systems.

If required, we can transfer your legacy systems to modern, modular and fully integrable architectures. In doing so, we decouple monolithic structures, standardise interfaces and establish a robust technical foundation for reliable processes. This reduces complexity, increases stability and allows to use scalable smart retail solutions on a future-proof platform.

Application lifecycle management for legacy systems

We transform legacy systems into modern, modular and fully integrable architectures. In doing so, we decouple monolithic structures, standardise interfaces and create a robust technical foundation for reliable processes. This reduces complexity, increases stability and enables the use of scalable smart retail solutions on a future-proof platform.

Modernised, integrated system landscapes

Our solutions ensure your systems can reliably handle seasonal peaks, omnichannel demands and complex supply chain dependencies. This significantly improves inventory management and enables efficient and transparent warehouse management.

We also secure your systems with modern protection mechanisms and clear compliance structures. Customer data and payment information are reliably protected against external attacks, and your system remains auditable at all times.

Secure and powerful IT platforms

Many years of experience for an optimised supply chain

For over ten years, we have been supporting retail companies in application management and the modernisation of their IT landscapes. Our expertise lies in business-critical merchandise management systems, supply chain management solutions, POS systems and complex legacy systems. Our extensive experience in managing IT projects has given us a comprehensive understanding of the stringent process and compliance requirements imposed on the IT systems of retail companies.

With future-oriented application lifecycle management, integrated cloud platforms and the use of data analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence, we create the basis for data-driven decisions. Alongside modern ERP and CRM solutions, we optimise wholesale and retail value chains, enable secure and intelligent data usage and develop new business models, ranging from smart branches to data-driven online marketplaces.
