For more than seven decades, K+K Klaas + Kock has been impressing customers with high-quality food and products from the region. But the topic of digitalization also drives the retail company. The latest milestone in the consistently pursued IT strategy is the implementation of a warehouse management system. With its help, processes in the area of intralogistics will be aligned more efficiently and made even more flexible in order to be well equipped to respond to current and future challenges in a demanding market segment. K+K Klaas + Kock B.V. & Co. began in 1950 with the confectionery business.

The wholesale company M. Bach GmbH, which specializes in building services, has replaced an existing warehouse management system (WMS) at its central warehouse in Eschweiler with the industry solution pL-Store® Techline. The reason for the change was the desire for increased performance and more flexibility in all functional areas. This was to be achieved on the basis of standardized software. The company also relied on proLogistik when selecting the necessary hardware for mobile data collection. No fully developed business plan, just a motorcycle and the desire to be self-employed – that’s all Matthias Bach needed when he laid the foundation stone for today’s M. Bach GmbH in 1945. The result was a wholesale company for sanitary, heating and installation supplies, which is now one of the most important in the sales region. With a range of more than 250,000 items, the choice is enormous and leaves nothing to be desired. These are located at the headquarters in Eschweiler as well as in Aachen, Mechernich and Pulheim. Agility pays off When asked about the reasons for the company’s continued success, Udo Bach, who today manages the wholesaler together with Michael Bach, remarks with a wink: “The market shows us that it’s … Lire plus

Due to the boom in e-commerce, Rofu wanted to be able to act faster, more efficiently and more flexibly in its intralogistics at its Hoppstädten-Weiersbach site.
