European pet retail chain scaling omnichannel logistics and modernizing legacy SAP infrastructure
Fressnapf | Maxi Zoo operates Europe's largest pet supplies retail network with 2,880+ stores across multiple countries and 20,000+ employees. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward SAP (ERP, Commerce Cloud, EWM, Analytics) paired with Snowflake and cloud analytics tools (BigQuery, Power BI, Tableau, Looker), but hiring velocity is accelerating with a focus on logistics automation and system modernization—notably replacing SAP S/4HANA while adopting Kotlin and Spring Boot for new development. The pain-point list reveals a core operational bottleneck: logistics efficiency across omnichannel channels, suggesting the engineering roadmap is tied to supply-chain transformation rather than product innovation.
