Consultation on Software Selection
As part of our project, we introduce the software to your organization and actively support you in the change management process. Our approach goes beyond mere implementation; we understand that every software introduction signifies a change for your company. Therefore, we emphasize not only covering the technical aspects but also ensuring that your employees and processes smoothly adapt to the new software.
Project Implementation
We understand the uniqueness of each company and value this unique characteristic. With custom developments based on your standard software, we can maximize the full potential of your software investment and automate routine tasks.
Custom Developments
We believe that smooth and seamless system integration is one of the essential success factors for any implementation. Only then can you benefit from synergies, automation, and transparency between systems.
System Integration
With our proven training concept (online and offline), we help familiarize all users with the new environment safely and sustainably. We offer a range of product-specific or customer-specific in-house training to quickly bring new employees up to date and fully utilize the available software functionalities.
User Training
We are here to support you in your day-to-day operations, enabling you to work more efficiently and trust that you will receive prompt assistance in case of problems. With over 15 years of experience using the Blue Yonder Category Management portfolio, we have developed comprehensive knowledge of these programs and Category Management business processes. We are happy to share this knowledge with you.
Support Hotline
You may have gained experience with the new software, but external influences have changed in the meantime: a fresh strategy, revised processes, and personnel changes have occurred. We assist you in smoothly integrating these changes into the use and adaptation of your system.
Coaching
Every two to three years, it's time for a release change. We not only support you in bringing your software up to date technically but also advise you on new functionalities and how they can be optimally used in your current process.
