IMPACT FESTIVAL 2025 wrapped up yesterday.   Two days talking about supply chain emissions with companies navigating the complexity between sustainability targets and operational excellence.   The conversations confirmed what we're seeing across the industry. Sustainability solutions need to be both scalable and profitable to survive long-term.   Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth to dive into transport emissions tracking, carbon footprint calculations and automated reporting. The feedback on our new Book & Claim feature was particularly valuable.

Between customer demands and reporting pressure, procurement needs emissions data that's both verified and actionable.   On December 9, our Head of Sustainability Arne Christoph will be joining the next Bundesverband Materialwirtschaft, Einkauf und Logistik e.V. (BME) Solution Day "CO2 in Procurement - Transparency and Decarbonization".   He'll walk you through our TÜV-certified approach to transport emissions tracking and our Book & Claim solution — both built to get shipment-level emissions transparency for reliable reporting and strategic sourcing.   This isn't about adding more complexity to your day. It's about automated processes with less manual effort and measurable impact.   The session runs from 10:00-11:30 CET. Arne speaks at 10:35.   Reserve your spot: https://lnkd.in/ee5gtETj

Two cities, three events, one pattern.   Our team split up last week.   Jacqueline (Lini) Pöppe 丽佳君 attended Web Summit in Lisbon.   Manuel Humpf and Mike Krug were at TFEST - Powered by Future Insights Network in Berlin.   Christoph von Witzleben and Armin Neises ran our booth at Bundesverband Materialwirtschaft, Einkauf und Logistik e.V. (BME) Symposium – where Armin Neises also hosted a deep dive session on sustainability data as a performance driver.   Different events, different scales, different audiences.   AI and automation dominated in Lisbon. While supply chain optimization and sustainability led in Berlin. One common thread. The right data foundation is key.   Whether it's tracking demand patterns to avoid overstock, or calculating transport emissions at shipment level – actionable data creates room to maneuver and improve. It's what sustainably better decisions are built on.   Thanks to everyone who connected with our team on-site, shared insights, and made these events worthwhile.

Next stop: IMPACT FESTIVAL in Frankfurt.   Europe's largest B2B event for sustainable innovation. Where supply chain transformation meets climate action.   Our team will be on-site to talk transport emissions, book & claim, carbon footprints, reporting and more. Curious what actually works when you're trying to track and reduce emissions in complex supply chains?   Find us at booth IS7 on November 26 & 27.   Whether you're just starting your sustainability journey or optimizing existing programs – stop by or book an individual appointment. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eXH4XbyV   See you there.

$70 billion estimated global revenue in one weekend.   Black Friday pushes every supply chain to its limit.   Manual SKU checks. Uncertain forecasts. Late reactions. Overlooked items become stockouts & overstock blocks valuable space.   Peak times don't create problems. They expose them.   Our solution?   Operational strength all year with Replenishment Decision Intelligence:   – Exception-based alerts highlight critical items before stockouts happen – Individual SKU planning optimized for each article based on its demand pattern, not catalog-wide rules – Continuous adaptation with real-time adjustments based on current data   When your daily process is robust, you can handle the peaks.   How stress-resistant is your replenishment system?

Picture this scenario: It's 2 AM, and you realize a critical aerospace component is missing from your inventory. Your production line could halt. Your delivery schedules could crumble. The stress is overwhelming.   Now imagine never having to worry about this again.     One aerospace supplier made this transformation a reality. By transitioning from manual spreadsheet management to AI-driven systems by pacemaker.ai by thyssenkrupp, they now handle nearly 5,000 parts weekly with seamless updates and complete visibility across their supply chain.   The result? Teams can finally breathe easy, operations run like clockwork, and everyone sleeps better knowing their supply chain never stops working – even when they do.   This is the power of intelligent supply chain management. It's not just about technology; it's about people, precision and peace of mind.   Ready to transform your aerospace operations? Let's talk about making supply chain stress a thing of the past. #aerospace #supplychain #AI

See you in Berlin? 🇩🇪 I’m excited to contribute to this year’s BME Symposium for Procurement & Logistics 2025 https://lnkd.in/dMaVkuGT with a Deep Dive session on 👉 “Sustainability across the supply chain – value-creating, resilient, and digital.” 🗓 Thursday, 13 November 2025, 10:50 a.m. Sustainability in supply chains is no longer a reporting exercise – it’s a decisive factor for competitiveness, resilience, and future-proof procurement. In my session, we’ll explore how leading industrial companies: 🌍 turn regulatory requirements (CSRD, LkSG, EU Taxonomy, CBAM) into measurable actions, 🔍 achieve transparency and data integrity from contract to audit, ⚙️ combine price, performance, and sustainability into one consistent decision logic, and 🤝 create real value through collaboration, digital tools, and clear processes. Together, we’ll discuss practical experiences, lessons learned, and concrete steps to make sustainability operational, auditable, and profitable. Key takeaways: 1️⃣ Sustainability is not an add-on – it’s a performance driver. 2️⃣ Transparency builds trust – and resilience. 3️⃣ Digitalization turns ESG from reporting to action. 4️⃣ Procurement success = Price × Performance × Sustainability. I’m looking forward to an open exchange with industry peers on how we can shape the next level of sustainable, resilient supply chains — and to sharing which kind of solutions already exist at pacemaker.ai by thyssenkrupp. You can also meet Christoph von Witzleben and me at our pacemaker.ai booth during the congress – we’re happy to exchange ideas and show how digital sustainability can drive real business value. Let’s connect and continue the conversation – before, during or after the event. 💬 Will I see you there? #Sustainability #Procurement #SupplyChain #ESG #DigitalTransformation #Resilience #BME2025 #SustainablyBetter #PacemakerAI #thyssenkruppMaterials
