Precision eyeglass lens manufacturer scaling operations and SAP infrastructure
Rodenstock manufactures individualized progressive lenses using biometric measurement data, competing in a regulated medtech segment dominated by operational complexity. The tech stack is enterprise-heavy (SAP with ABAP customization, SWIFT for payments) and the hiring mix—dominated by operations, finance, and senior roles—reflects active cost optimization, process standardization, and global SAP rollout efforts rather than product innovation.
Rodenstock designs and manufactures progressive eyeglass lenses tailored to individual eye geometry and measurements. The company serves optometry practices and eyewear retailers globally from its base in Munich. With 5,000–10,000 employees, Rodenstock operates as a public company across production, distribution, and partner networks. Current operational priorities center on process efficiency, supply-chain resilience, and SAP system standardization across international facilities.
Core systems include SAP (with FI/CO and ABAP customization), Microsoft Office, Jira, SWIFT for payments, and SAP Cash Management. The company is adopting ISO 20022 for payment messaging standards.
Key projects include global SAP rollouts, KPI development and reporting, cost reduction and process optimization, supply-chain improvements, and digital order processing. Work spans production, partner engagement, and brand visibility initiatives.
