Food retail supply chain logistics across 95 German distribution centers

Hiring is overwhelmingly sales-led (157 roles) paired with logistics operations (88 roles), but only 2 engineering headcount—a structural gap that shows operational scaling outpacing technical capability. Active projects focus on site strategy, employee housing networks, and maintenance coordination, while pain points cluster around inventory availability, fleet scheduling efficiency, and returns management, suggesting the company is hitting friction points that older systems struggle to address at scale.
