What is Schlaraffenland, and what benefits do schlaraffenland.shop and HOGASHOP offer?
Schlaraffenland is one of several online shopping channels that we offer to our customers. For our customers, it brings many advantages, especially in the context of digitization, such as improved order transparency and analysis. For us, it provides access to customers who prefer this platform.
How are these solutions implemented in your business?
We have both large and small customers. When we achieve quantity bundling in the logistics process, it provides us with an advantage in our operational processes. Otherwise, an order proceeds like any other order: we receive the order from the HOGASHOP system, create it in the ERP, process it, and then pick, pack, and ship it. Instead of going directly to the customer, shipping is done through Schlaraffenland via the central logistics center. Orders are then consolidated for each respective customer. The difference lies with the customer, who benefits greatly from the excellent service.
How can digitization in general and Schlaraffenland/HOGASHOP in particular contribute to sustainability?
Potential growth and further system integrations like EDI interfaces could optimize processes and costs. The benefits lie in strengthening market positions and the resulting success. In terms of resource use and shipping, there are minimal internal differences.
Do you have any final thoughts to share?
Schlaraffenland has established a very valuable service here, which is highly appreciated in the market. I hope that, through a fruitful collaboration, we can further develop the business model. Thanks to the excellent service, the market position of all involved parties is enhanced, ultimately leading to success. Essentially, this is the most important aspect and the one I advocate for.
