Innovative digital supply chain services
ISG considers the innovative digital supply chain services from Arvato Systems as a particular strength. The IT service provider is an ideal consultant for industrial enterprises with regard to the design of their supply chain – with a focus on SAP S/4HANA, SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), and SAP Transportation Management (TM), thanks to its comprehensive technical expertise and many years of experience in the industrial sector. The cloud-based smart logistics platform platbricks was also developed along with AI and cloud services and various microservices. “The award shows that, with our combination of standardized end-to-end processes and the services of our cloud platform, we are very well positioned to digitize the supply chain,” explains Christoph Tieben, Senior Manager SAP Consulting at Arvato Systems.
Design thinking with frameworks
The proven Arvato Systems Business Transformation Road Map also received a special mention. Arvato Systems helps companies better address the needs of their customers with this approach. It deploys methodological tools such as design thinking and custom-developed software prototypes. The goal of the approach is to identify promising business cases and convert them into digital solutions.
Innovation lab and implementation services
Last but not least, Arvato Systems develops and conducts feasibility tests on new technologies, such as smart wearables, in its innovation lab. Cloud-based, modular configurable technologies such as the smart logistics platform platbricks connect to various partners within the supply chain in order to jointly manage and monitor subcontracting and shipping processes, for example. All IT architectures specific to the supply chain contain standardized end-to-end processes and cloud-based microservices. Companies can design all transformation processes in an agile and flexible way with additional change management services.
