Fly, count, optimize: A bird‘s eye view of inventory
How AI and drones can reduce inventory labor by up to 90%.
In this White Paper, René Kessler describes how AI and drones are revolutionizing inventory. Based on a research collaboration with the University of Oldenburg, it minimizes manual inventory by up to 90% and increases transparency. The author covers everything from machine learning to real-world examples and discusses both benefits and challenges. A must-read for companies that want to optimize their inventory.
Success Story: B.A.U.M. e.V.
The B.A.U.M. e.V. network faced significant challenges: It lacked a clear strategy for digitizing processes and a system coordinator to integrate the various trades. In addition, the existing CRM solution was not compatible with the newly created Digital B.A.U.M. platform, and there were no certified standard interfaces. What was needed was a future-proof solution that could be used without intensive IT knowledge. That is why abat offered the SAP Sales Cloud as a SaaS solution.
Success Story: PFERD
Effective communication is often the key to project success. As a family business with more than 200 years of tradition, the PFERD brand has made communication and trust an important part of its core values. This success story of an S/4HANA migration at the Mexican site describes the challenge and the successful cooperation between abat and PFERD during the project phase and beyond.
