Specialized logistics and supply-chain services for industrial and furniture sectors
Simon Hegele operates a century-old logistics business that has evolved into a value-added supply-chain service provider. The tech stack reflects a traditional enterprise modernization pattern: heavy SAP footprint (R/3, FI/CO, ABAP) now migrating to S/4HANA and cloud infrastructure (Azure), while retiring BusinessObjects. Active hiring across logistics (61 roles) and operations (21) signals continued operational scaling, but the project list—dominated by infrastructure, migration, and process optimization—suggests internal focus on technical debt and compliance, not product expansion.
Notable leadership hires: Team Lead Client Support, Operations Lead
Simon Hegele, founded in 1920 as a furniture moving company, now operates as a logistics and supply-chain service provider for industrial clients across Germany. The company employs 1,001–5,000 people and is based in Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg. Rather than offering commodity transportation, Simon Hegele positions itself as a process partner that integrates deeply with customer operations, handling specialized warehousing, assembly, quality management, and custom logistics workflows. The business spans furniture assembly, component manufacturing support, and multi-site logistics coordination, serving clients who outsource logistics to focus on core competencies.
Core systems include SAP FI/CO and R/3 with ABAP customization, Microsoft 365 (Office, Teams, SharePoint, Exchange), Azure cloud services (SQL, Files, Stack), and supporting tools like Matrix42, LucaNet, and Cisco networking. Currently migrating to SAP S/4HANA and Azure-native services.
Priority projects include SAP S/4HANA migration and GL support, new site network infrastructure, cloud solution implementation, quality management system development, and process optimization across logistics and customer workflows.
