The ALDI SÜD teams – a force to reckon with
All over the world, the digital transformation is gaining momentum. Big data, the cloud or the internet of things (IoT) as well as modern marketing solutions and communication channels are only some of the challenges that we have to face. Our customers are increasingly using mobile apps and social media and expect us to offer our services via these digital touchpoints. For us, this also means that we must standardise our global application landscape to the greatest possible extent and embed it in a modern IT environment. This is just one of the many challenges that our various IT teams face.
The common thread running through our group of companies
The tasks of our IT departments are as diverse as ALDI SÜD itself – our primary goal is to drive innovation in order to keep our business competitive and provide our customers and employees with added value. At the business premises of the International IT department in Mülheim an der Ruhr, we develop optimised IT solutions for worldwide application. The national IT department ensures that all IT processes function smoothly nationwide.
Infrastructure
The IT infrastructure is the nervous system of our processes. The Connectivity and Security teams connect all IT systems securely and effectively. Our IT experts from the Digital Workplace, Data Centre, INFRA Coordination and Global Service Desk teams make sure that every employee can use these systems, always focussing on the individual requirements of all ALDI SÜD departments.
Software (Domains & Platforms)
Modern IT plays a role in all departments at ALDI SÜD. With up-to-date IT systems, our experts from the Architecture & Integration, Business Intelligence, Overarching, Buying, Finance & Administration, Supply Chain Planning & Execution and Customer Touchpoints teams are today shaping the group of companies in which we want to work tomorrow. The teams receive support from our Transformation Management Office.
Central Functions
All IT processes that contribute to the global success of ALDI SÜD are coming together at International IT in Mülheim an der Ruhr, where the Processes & Tools and Strategy & Innovations teams develop goal-oriented IT solutions for employees and customers. We are ready for the future – are you?
Shaping the future of IT – together
On this page, we would like to introduce some of our teams, who are creating one of the most modern IT landscapes in the retail sector – and making ALDI SÜD fit for the challenges of the future.
SAP
The software solutions developed by our partner SAP are a central component of our future IT landscape. No matter whether it’s SAP Commerce or SAP Ariba – our SAP experts exploit their full potential by creating intelligent solutions in order to make our processes leaner, more efficient and more economical. And you can be a part of this team!
Customer Interaction
“Digital touchpoints” is one of the magic words of our times. Our team uses state-of-the-art content management and customer relationship management systems (CMS/CRM) to ensure optimum customer relations. Whether via mobile apps or social media – our objective is to keep our customers well informed on all channels.
IT Architecture
Optimising business processes and creating the prerequisites for a modern and global application landscape – this is just one of the tasks of our “architects”. The trick is to standardise processes while still remaining flexible. And, of course, everything has to work in eleven countries and on four continents.
