The boom with Woom: better buying and selling thanks to digitalization?
The children's bicycle manufacturer woom is starting to fully digitize its supply chain management and has commissioned the German company Setlog to set up and implement the cloud-based supply chain management software called Osca. The aim of this action: to securely procure products and manage the rapidly growing procurement volume due to Woom's rapid business development.
The abbreviation Osca stands for "Online Supply Chain Accelerator". Over the coming months, the German partner's platform will be used to connect departments at Woom with suppliers, factories, warehouses, freight forwarders, shipping companies and quality assurance.
Order tracking, including document traffic, will be automated and paperless, optimizing container transport. In future, all communication will take place directly via the platform's dialog function. The woom supply chain team in Austria can now centrally manage and control all procurement processes - from supplier selection, price negotiations and allocation of production orders through to production and transport control.
In addition to this digitalization offensive, Woom has already caused a stir with a previous step: the relocation of production for the European market to Europe. Since the beginning of the year, the classic children's bikes Woom 1 to Woom 6 have been rolling off the production line at a plant owned by the German company Sprick Cycle in Świebodzin in the south of Poland.Further content on this article
