Flexibility, responsiveness, and the ability to put ideas into practice are always elementary success factors, but in challenging times they are downright essential. While seasonal fluctuations in demand can be cushioned by precise advance planning over several months, a pandemic event calls for ad-hoc measures to maintain supply chains. These can only be implemented effectively with the support of a long-standing software partner like SSI SCHAEFER, who understands both the industry and the customer's specific needs, and is fully familiar with the processes. At the same time, the new e-commerce warehouse in Altishofen which has been implemented within a very short time for Coop – a retail company that has also become a successful online retailer – is tangible proof that the material handling specialist has again lived up to its promise to deliver flexibility and speed plus security and stability in every situation.
