RIMOWA Tech Stack
German luxury luggage manufacturer scaling retail operations globally
RIMOWA is a 126-year-old German luggage maker now operating as part of LVMH, with 1,001–5,000 employees across 17+ countries. The hiring acceleration (85 roles posted in 30 days) is heavily weighted toward sales (84 open positions) and support (18), signaling aggressive retail expansion. The tech stack reveals a traditional manufacturing operations backbone (SAP, S/4HANA, KUKA robotics, Siemens PLC) paired with basic analytics (Power BI, Tableau, Anaplan), with no cloud-native or modern observability tools in use — typical of heritage brands integrating into larger corporate IT ecosystems.
