Battery-powered tools and garden equipment manufacturer with global supply-chain operations
Einhell manufactures cordless power tools and gardening equipment around a proprietary battery platform (Power X-Change) distributed across 90+ countries. The tech stack is enterprise-focused—SAP S/4HANA, Dynamics 365, and Azure—with active rollouts of Business Central, a new transport management system, and supply-chain restructuring projects. Hiring velocity is decelerating despite 37 open roles, concentrated in engineering and sales, signaling a shift from growth hiring toward operational consolidation and systems integration.
Einhell is a publicly traded German manufacturer of cordless power tools, gardening equipment, and related accessories, founded in 1964 and headquartered in Landau an der Isar, Bavaria. The company operates a unified battery platform (Power X-Change) spanning over 300 SKUs and maintains distribution across more than 90 countries. Scale: 1,001–5,000 employees. Core operations center on product development, manufacturing, global supply-chain logistics, and direct sales to DIY retailers and consumers. The organization is currently executing multiple systems-modernization projects—SAP S/4HANA rollouts, Business Central implementations, and transport-management upgrades—alongside international supply-chain restructuring and refurbishment-strategy initiatives.
Einhell runs SAP S/4HANA, SAP Signavio, Dynamics 365 Business Central, and Dynamics NAV. The company is actively rolling out S/4HANA internationally and Business Central across regional operations, with ongoing interface optimization in SAP Cloud.
Major initiatives include international SAP S/4HANA and Business Central rollouts, a new transport management system, global supply-chain restructuring, financial-process optimization (FI/CO), refurbishment-strategy implementation, and key-user training. Supply-chain efficiency and interface reliability are documented pain points.
