Cautious Optimism
Retailers, consumer goods manufacturers and tour operators have been facing merciless competition and market consolidation for years. The adoption of the euro, the 2007 VAT hike, persisting unemployment and the expansion of the low-wage sector have all made Germans more price-conscious, and caused retail sales to stagnate. Only discounters have been thriving in this situation. Medium-term prospects are hardly any better. Despite the labour market’s recent upswing, private household spending remains low.
To gain a competitive edge in this difficult environment, vendors need to minimize costs and accelerate product or service distribution, using state-of-the-art information technology for end-to-end automation of both internal and B2B processes.
Drawing on many years of project and industry expertise, our consultants help retailers, consumer goods manufacturers and tour operators prepare their IT systems for future challenges. Our service portfolio ranges from strategy development through process reengineering to implementation.
Germany is regarded as one of toughest consumer markets worldwide. To hold their own, retailers need to tune their business models over and over again. Many renowned companies have been relying on Consileon’s industry expertise to meet that challenge.
