Case Study: Kärcher achieves proactive supply chain risk management with Prewave

Kärcher - Customer Case Study

Kärcher, a global manufacturer, needed to overhaul its supply chain risk management to become more resilient, sustainable, and compliant with Germany’s Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG). Its existing approach was fragmented, mostly manual, and focused locally rather than across the full Tier-N supply chain, making it difficult to manage risks proactively and consistently.

Working with Prewave, Kärcher implemented an AI-based, end-to-end supplier risk management solution using continuous monitoring, Tier-N mapping, portfolio risk analysis, and action planning. Prewave helped Kärcher cut the effort required by 40x and react to supply chain risks 3 days faster, while also improving transparency, supporting LkSG compliance, and enabling proactive risk mitigation across more than 83,000 Tier-N suppliers and 300+ mapped commodities.
