HIT operates a network of over 100 independent supermarkets in Germany, serving as a regional grocer with 5,001–10,000 employees. The hiring profile is heavily sales-weighted (662 sales roles vs. 86 ops and 72 manufacturing), paired with significant junior/intern intake, indicating a retail labor-intensive model. Active migration to SAP S/4HANA and a project backlog dominated by inventory, product availability, and cooler optimization reveals operational maturity pressure — moving beyond legacy transaction systems toward real-time supply-chain visibility.
HIT Handelsgruppe is a self-owned German grocery retailer founded in 1901, operating over 100 individually branded stores nationwide.
