Case Study: Gebrüder Weiss achieves paperless, efficient global logistics with Adobe Acrobat (Adobe)

Gebrüder Weiss manages logistics spanning the globe with paperless workflows using Adobe Acrobat

Gebrüder Weiss, founded in 1823 and now a global logistics provider with about 6,500 employees, faced the challenge of ensuring fast, reliable information flow across 150 locations and many supply‑chain stakeholders. To reduce errors and delays the company needed a secure, device‑agnostic digital document standard and smooth integration with its existing systems to shift from paper to paperless workflows.

The company deployed Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and Adobe Document Cloud under an Enterprise Term License Agreement, using OCR and a central document archive to make records searchable and accessible anywhere. The result was streamlined, more efficient processes and cross‑location collaboration, significantly reduced paper use, improved customer experiences (including a modern online portal), and greater operational stability and planning predictability.
