German furniture manufacturer modernizing legacy operations for omnichannel retail
Hans Segmüller is a 1,925-founded furniture maker operating seven showrooms and five logistics centers across Germany, anchored by in-house upholstery production. The tech stack is heavily legacy (AS/400, EDI, Office suite) with emerging pressure on modernization: pain points cluster around aging application landscapes, process automation, and digitalization gaps. Active hiring is weighted toward engineering (6 roles) and support (5 roles) over manufacturing (3 roles), signaling a push to rebuild IT infrastructure rather than scale production capacity.
Hans Segmüller manufactures and retails upholstered furniture across Germany, operating as a family-owned business with ~4,500 employees. The company combines in-house production with a seven-location showroom network, five distribution centers, and an e-commerce platform. Current operational focus includes omnichannel integration, legacy system modernization, and process streamlining — supported by a lean IT and engineering team still adapting to digital retail demands.
Core systems include AS/400, EDI, and Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). Design and marketing teams use Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator). Digital channels run on Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Microsoft Advertising.
Active projects include omnichannel and e-commerce optimization, modernization of IT application landscape in finance, process automation, and digitalization of business processes. Design and marketing teams are producing web banners, showroom advertising, and retail layouts.
