Retail

When full racks are everything

The industry turns fast, the assortments are highly dynamic. Continuous product development and sales innovations as well as fierce competition characterise this industry. Consumers focus on quality, sustainability, origin and processing of the food.

Food retail bases on a complex logistics system from goods delivery to product-specific storage to order picking in the supermarket - even while the customers are in the shop. This is all about precise processes and dependable availability with high standards for hygiene and safety.

Extra clean and no compromises, please.
