With a total of over 3,900 dm stores and over 71,600 employees, dm is one of the leading drugstore retailers in Europe today.
Challenges
The aim of dm‘s supply chain strategy is to bring the dm stores and distribution centers together and to think material flows from a store-centered point of view. All intralogistics processes and IT are geared towards the subsequent processes, up to the placement of the goods on the shelves.
Solution and Benefits
In 25 years of successful collaboration, dm and Infios have created a unique, integrated logistics network. A key component of dm's supply chain strategy is Infios Warehouse Management System (WMS), which can be flexibly customized for each warehouse, enabling seamless integration into a cross-location system environment.
