Digitization

Digitizing the Supply Chain

Today, the increasing demands on transparency, delivery capacity and quality as well as the desire for individualized products, services and added value require innovative digital solutions for logistics and order fulfillment — Supply Chain 4.0 is transparent, integrated, scalable and flexible from procurement to billing. At the same time, the digital connectedness of all participants and processes opens up new opportunities and fields of work. Companies with an innovative strategy in digital supply chain management can respond 25 percent faster to changes in market demands and achieve up to 110 percent higher margins.

As a supply chain company with a high level of IT expertise, Arvato Supply Chain Solutions has been quick to initiate the transformation from traditional physical to digital value chains and define digitization as a forward strategy. As a digital change agent, we manage data along the entire supply chain on behalf of the customer, analyze it with the appropriate business intelligence tools and take appropriate action.

We offer our customers relevant integrated, scalable solutions along the entire order-to-cash cycle, create new state-of-the-art structures and optimize existing processes. We pay special attention to the areas of automation, data analysis (digital analysis) and the creation of digital added value.
