Technical distributor of installation materials across construction, utilities, and industry
Technische Unie is a large technical wholesale distributor operating 280,000 SKUs across electrotechnics, sanitaryware, HVAC, and tools. The tech stack—SAP S/4HANA, Manhattan WMS, Power BI, Azure—reflects a traditional supply-chain architecture; notably, they're retiring BizTalk Server, suggesting a shift toward cloud-native integration. Hiring remains concentrated in sales (32 roles) and logistics (19), with minimal engineering (2 roles), indicating operational scaling outpaces product development velocity.
