WIEDEMANN Group SUCCESS STORY OF A CUSTOMER PROJECT
The WIEDEMANN Group offers its customers approximately 360,000 articles and different services. Increasing the service level for customers and making the synergies available within the WIEDEMANN Group placed very specific demands on an advanced ERP system. The choice fell on SAP and industry specialist FIS.
Together, a holistic concept for mapping business processes with SAP ERP and FIS/wws as a state-of-the-art, technological industry platform was developed. Time-consuming master data management and the existing invoice receipt processing were replaced by integrated SAP optimizations by FIS. The process and value chains were complemented by a shop solution.

Optimization of processes in wholesale trade WITH FIS/wws
Wholesale trade has numerous specific characteristics: These companies trade in a multitude of articles and, therefore, with a large number of master data. Here, intelligent logistics processes provide a decisive competitive advantage and good customer service is extremely important.
In order to optimally map these industry-specific processes, the WIEDEMANN Group has decided to use FIS/wws as a retailing system. This FIS development was specifically designed for wholesale trade and covers numerous processes in the standard version. WIEDEMANN uses, for instance, automatic processing of GAEB service specifications and the Route Planning Monitor.
