Case Study: Deichmann strengthens software governance and reduces manual effort with Flexera

How DEICHMANN strengthened its software governance with Flexera

Deichmann, Europe’s largest shoe retailer, needed a better way to manage a rapidly growing and complex software landscape across 30+ countries, 4,700 branches, and thousands of employees. Its previous software governance processes lacked a complete view of the portfolio, making it difficult to optimize usage, reduce license redundancies, and support more data-driven decision-making. Deichmann turned to Flexera One IT Asset Management from Flexera to modernize its software governance.

Flexera implemented a centralized, scalable ITAM solution with real-time portfolio visibility and built-in compliance tracking, allowing Deichmann to complete deployment in just four months. The results included inventory accuracy above 99%, a 70% reduction in manual data collection, centralized license tracking, lower compliance risk, and the discovery of cost-saving opportunities.
