About the company

Veltins is one of Germany’s leading private breweries with a turnover of over 400 million euros. Together with valantic, the company optimized its incoming goods processes. The focus was on the standardization of processes, the expansion of digital procedures and the automation of manual booking steps – with measurable efficiency gains and a more transparentdesign.

The project

The challenge

Veltins used various hardware and software tools for different groups of goods in the incoming goods department, which led to a high level of complexity. The booking of incoming goods was partly automated and partly manual. The associated effort put a strain on efficiency and made transparent and uniform recording difficult.
