The importance of digitalization in industry

Digitalization is one of the most frequently used words of our time, but not everyone knows that it does not only mean that we use digital tools. Digitalization is a much more complex process, behind which there is also a change in the way of thinking. With its help, we can achieve new results through new tools and new procedures. For a large company, digitalization is key to maintaining competitiveness and optimizing costs, but it also helps to serve customer needs and increase efficiency and quality. Digitalization in material distribution is not an option, it is essential in order to be able to stay on our feet in the future in the competition against new players.

Material as a Service

thyssenkrupp Materials Services connects manufacturing and production with raw materials and services. The goal of digital transformation is to connect everything to everything. This is one of the reasons why we developed the unique calculation model that can be used to track the carbon footprint of a product in the entire supply chain. Thanks to digitalization, we were able to develop from a traditional material trader to an intelligent and sustainably operated supply chain manager. We look at digital transformation holistically - from order to delivery. "Materials as a Service" is about doing everything we can to ensure that our customers only have to focus on their core business.

Flexible, customized solutions

Digitalization will enable us to trade on all channels in the future: either digitally or analogically, either alone or with the help of external companies. But always we want to respect the needs of our customers. To this end, we offer flexible and customized solutions: from the full integration of data, through accurate forecasting of needs, to live tracking of deliveries. The focus of our activity is to optimize the benefits of our customers. We believe that collaboration with customers, partners and employees is the key to success. We see digitalization not only as an IT strategy, but also as a business strategy, in order to not only meet but also exceed the expectations of our customers. That is why we strive to further develop solutions related to the digital supply chain.
