Best-before dates, seasonalities and demand determination: The challenges in the food industry are high. To master them successfully, Backshop Tiefkühl GmbH has been relying on REMIRA LOGOMATE since the middle of 2022.

When it comes to replacing the broken dishwasher or outfitting the living room with modern furniture, many people immediately visit their trusted website to look for good deals. This is particularly worthwhile on Black Friday, when numerous retailers and online stores ignite a veritable barrage of bargains. Black Friday originally comes from the USA and is intended to herald the start of the Christmas business. For some years now, it has also been widespread in Europe, and especially on the Internet there are numerous offers on this last Friday in November as well as on the following "Cyber-Monday". It is therefore no wonder that many stores generate their highest sales of the year on this day.

CDs and cassettes are now a relic from the old days - in German chil-dren's rooms, Tonies from Boxine GmbH have long been playing the music.

To continue to meet the steadily increasing demand and to optimize the disposition of the articles, the company now relies on the REMIRA LOGOMATE inventory management software worldwide.
