Our technology, services and know-how lie behind the success of many high street names, helping them to handle the complexities of the supply chain, keep pace with consumer demand and maximise efficiency and profits.
Siemens has worked closely with retailers including Tesco, Homebase, Marks & Spencer and Argos. Our expertise and extensive portfolio of products, offers them a ‘one-stop-shop’ capable of satisfying virtually all their needs.
It means we can design and build a customer’s new store or warehouse, supply and fit its infrastructure – telecommunications and computers, lighting, heat and air conditioning, fire alarms and security system – and install an automated distribution system capable of managing and tracking goods at every point along the supply chain.
Strategic approach
We also take a strategic, long-term approach to their businesses, working with them at board level to anticipate beneficial technological trends and innovations, helping them to meet legislative requirements and ensuring they have the best business process changes in place.
We’ve been helping customers to implement the ‘chip and PIN’ technology now required for all credit card transactions, and are working on RFID technology that tags goods with a unique identification so that they are traceable in real time at any point.
We’ve estimated that Siemens could save its UK retail customers £1.2 billion a year through better stock management.
