Welcome to
Germany IT Hub
As Supply Chain IT, we are the engine that powers product innovation, manufacturing, quality assurance and distribution here at P&G.
Our experts are designing, developing, supporting, and governing the applications that underpin all critical processes, from a product’s ideation until it is designed, produced, packaged, delivered and available on a shelf of our customers (REWE, DM, etc.) and the corresponding invoice is collected.
We build data-driven platforms that automatically forecast volumes, instruct our plants what to produce and when, process electronic orders and invoices, operate warehouses, optimize shipping of goods and help our customers optimize their physical and virtual shelves.
We provide our partners with best-in-class IT services that are cost-efficient, scalable, cyber-secure and compliant. Through continuous improvement and new technologies such as smart automation and artificial intelligence, we are continuously enhancing the productivity of our workforce and drive down cost and time to market.
P&G’s supply chain excellence has been repeatedly externally recognized by Gartner, a leading industry consulting firm, with our company earning the distinction of being one of five supply chain ‘Masters’. This is in large part due to our robust portfolio of IT solutions and shared services digitizing the supply chain end-to-end.
Problem Statement
The lion share of P&G’s growth is in Digital Commerce. Digital business (Online Shopping) models are expected to contribute more than 50% to P&G’s sales within this decade. The ever-increasing expectations of digital shoppers present a set of unique challenges to consumer goods companies and their partners, such as how product availability is managed, how fulfillment to the end consumer is optimized in terms of cost, cashflow and carbon emissions etc.
Idea/Solution
Our Supply Chain IT team created a dedicated digital commerce product that optimizes digital commerce fulfillment end-to-end, from the demand forecast to the way orders are processed and fulfilled, all the way to how P&G products are presented to the end consumer in our retail partners’ physical and digital stores.
