ROSSMANN and EPG: Ready together for the digital future

From mascara, through chocolate and cleaning agents to sandwich toasters, ROSSMANN carries a wide range of over 22,000 items. The new regional warehouse in Brehna opens in November. It brings the number of sites to 9 with a total of 265,000 square meters of storage space. Every day, around 400 delivery runs leave the regional warehouses of the drugstore chain to supply the 2,150 stores in Germany. Customized software support is crucial here in order to precisely coordinate this enormous logistics volume. ROSSMANN therefore relies on LFS from EPG in a total of four European countries – and has been doing so for about 20 years.

Not only has ROSSMANN grown with LFS, but the feature set provided by LFS has also adapted to the requirements of the complex ROSSMANN logistics. This includes, for example, seamless and transparent processes, as necessary for daily deliveries to the stores. If a regional warehouse does not carry a certain product, ROSSMANN employs what they call a shuttle service. In these cases, LFS orders the missing items from the main warehouse for Germany in Landsberg.
