Global logistics operator managing 100+ locations with SAP-native warehouse and supply chain automation
Arvato operates a 20,000-person logistics network across 100 locations, heavily standardized on SAP's ecosystem (EWM, WM, TM, S/4HANA, Fiori) for warehouse and transport operations. Current hiring and active projects reveal a major modernization push: 641 open roles weighted heavily toward logistics and operations, with active work on new warehouse implementations, logistics center development, and process redesigns. The stack also shows early adoption of WMS and Azure AI Services — signaling a shift toward cloud-backed warehouse intelligence rather than purely on-premise SAP.
