ALSO continues to drive Operational Excellence

ALSO continues to drive Operational Excellence

The development of a pan-European network is part of the company's effort to constantly improve processes with the aim of optimizing costs and capital employed. ALSO's system leadership in IT, achieved through the harmonization and development of ERP, WMS, BI, CRM, Webshop, and Cloud, as well as acquisitions, the construction of a new warehouse in Warsaw, and investments in Soest are important milestones in achieving these goals.

The comprehensive system enables regionalization and a more intelligent use of the resources deployed. For this reason, the technology provider plans not to renew the contracts for one of the German warehouses and an office building, which expire in 2024. Customers would be supplied via other domestic locations as well as from neighboring European countries. Two smaller office properties could allow the introduction of a contemporary and flexible utilization concept.

Gustavo Möller-Hergt, CEO of ALSO Holding AG (SIX: ALSN) affirms: “Continuously increasing operational excellence, the acceleration of growth, and Buy and Build are part of our strategy and key levers in the continuation of ALSO's success.”
