Team Digital Transformation & Innovation

Our Responsibility
We are a relatively new team, working on a global and regional level. Our goal is to help shape the future of Hellmann by driving transformation through digital and innovative solutions, based on requirements of our organization or our own initiatives that are launched in collaboration with external providers. One focus is the HEAT Air & Sea TMS project. HEAT stands for Hellmann Transformation and in our case, it means replacing a Transport Management System globally. As part of our team, you can also participate in the largest digital transformation project in our company's long history and help us implement the system all over the world!

Our Team
The global DTI team consists of 41 people, coming from 13 nations and working together from five different countries. The diversity of our team enables us to work innovatively and creatively through virtual exchange and collaboration. Our core team consists of seven project teams including IT, which form the interface to product management, operational teams and other Hellmann organizational units. What makes us unique is our passion for new things, our open-mindedness and our desire to make a difference. Solidarity can also be experienced at a distance, because we learn together, stick together, fail and win together.

Our Technologies, Tools & Methods
The HEAT A/S TMS projects are predominantly complicated projects that are implemented in the classic waterfall method, over eleven project phases each. The initial definition of the project scope in order to make detailed plans has proven to be very important. The collaboration and close coordination of the various project teams and organizational units are crucial to ensure the priorities of the individual tasks and the available resources on a daily basis. In feedback loops and regular review sessions, we have achieved a highly professional maturity of the project. We work with a project plan that defines the different project phases, the milestones and the dependencies between the individual phases.
