Case Study: GROHE achieves greater logistics efficiency with pool4tool

GROHE - Customer Case Study

GROHE, a global plumbing fixtures manufacturer with complex multi-plant logistics, needed a better way to keep parts and materials centrally available while managing long transport times and coordinating suppliers worldwide. The company was looking for a user-friendly, global IT solution to reduce errors and support purchasing and logistics processes, and chose pool4tool’s VMI and forecasting platform.

pool4tool implemented a customized portal with individual Vendor Managed Inventory and forecast solutions that integrated suppliers directly into planning and automated key purchasing and logistics steps. The result was greater transparency and efficiency, with 170,000 purchase orders processed annually via pool4tool, 80% of spend transactions and purchase orders handled on the platform, and measurable savings in production, storage, commissioning, transport, and POM costs.
