Europe's largest DIY retailer with 160+ stores across Germany and regional markets
HORNBACH is a 140-year-old public company operating one of Europe's largest home-improvement retail networks with over 24,000 employees and €5.5B+ in annual revenue. The tech stack reflects a mature, compliance-heavy retail-logistics operation: SAP backbone (S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, TM, BTP), heavy analytical layers (Tableau, Looker, BigQuery, Teradata), and cloud infrastructure (GCP, Kubernetes, Kafka). The company is actively migrating to SAP S/4HANA—a multi-year transformation addressing process acceleration, supply-chain optimization, and data-volume growth—while hiring is concentrated in field sales and logistics roles, signaling operational scale-out rather than technology-first expansion.
Notable leadership hires: Head Operational Logistics, Logistics Team Lead
