Let your logistics shift up two gears
The dynamization of supply chains has long been a topic for us at the Otto Group.
But whether it's demand peaks or volatile markets—there was no tool to respond quickly enough. That’s why we created AHEAD. By SupplyX. Not just to optimize processes a little, but to launch a new kind of value creation.
The first mover on the customer side is fashion retailer Scoretex.
As the very first company, Scoretex is letting us take responsibility for its supply chains with AHEAD. By SupplyX. This allows Scoretex to free up resources for its core business. And together, we’re turning logistics from a cost factor into a lever for growth!
"I can't think of anyone else in the logistics industry who offers so much leverage at once in a single product."
Marco Hoffmeyer, CEO Scoretex GmbH
What does AHEAD. By SupplyX to a company’s value creation?
For Marco Hoffmeyer, CEO of Scoretex GmbH, one thing is crucial: “The offering from SupplyX has a direct impact on contribution margins – and takes us exactly where we want to go: toward better profit margins.” Specifically, AHEAD. By SupplyX addresses several of his previous pain points all at once:
From volatile freight costs to fixed costs – and a predictable contribution margin
Now we have long-term fixed freight cost rates for agreed freight volumes. This reduces the volatility of our costs. And we once again have a more reliable annual plan.
From expensive individual assignments to lower freight costs
Until now, we had high costs due to individual freight assignments.
With SupplyX, these freight costs are decreasing. Because now we’re tapping into SupplyX’s large sourcing volumes—and benefiting from their more favorable rates.
From high FOB pre-shipment costs to affordable ex-works prices
With FOB prices, we used to pay for many additional services provided by suppliers.
SupplyX now takes over these services – and we were able to successfully renegotiate with our suppliers and switch to the more affordable ex-works prices.
From delays to deliveries at exactly the right time
Previously, more than half of all deliveries were on average 30 days late.
With SupplyX, we now have delivery optimization: a very special lever from SupplyX. And a service that, in my opinion, didn’t exist on the market before – and significantly reduces lost sales.
From blind spots in the supply chain to complete visibility
Our infrastructure was only partially digitized. As a result, we couldn’t achieve visibility into our supply chain at Scoretex.
Now, we’re tapping into SupplyX’s resources—which provide us with complete visibility. On top of that, we no longer need to intervene until the goods arrive at our facility.
From uncontrolled suppliers to clear timelines
SupplyX already provides us with supplier progress monitoring during production.
SupplyX structures the data for us and shares it with our inventory management system. This enables early delivery forecasts.
From limited sourcing to many flexible options
Until now, we were limited by fixed routes, ships, and containers.
With SupplyX, we’ve gained new freedoms in sourcing, because SupplyX—with its large sourcing volumes—offers far more options for delivery consolidation.
From complex in-house structures to greater focus
Previously, at Scoretex, product management and purchasing—including supply chain management—were combined in one role.
We’ve now separated this complexity. For supply chain management, we didn’t want to expand our internal structures further and aimed to convert fixed costs into transaction-based variable costs. With SupplyX, we’ve achieved both.
From multitasking to clear focus on upstream processes
With AHEAD. By SupplyX, SupplyX takes full responsibility for the entire supply chain.
This relieves us at Scoretex of many tasks. Now, we can focus on upstream process development and supplier management.
From costly investments to the smartest technology without investment
Like many medium-sized companies, we neither had the manpower nor the budget to constantly invest in new IT solutions and infrastructures.
With AHEAD. By SupplyX, we now have access to the latest technologies—without any investment, seamlessly integrated, and without the need for updates.
