Change Management & Digital Transformation

Our Responsibility We support the people-related side of the digital transformation and focus on the colleagues who are affected by the change. Our vision statement "One day, change is an inherent part of everyone in our Hellmann Family" as well as our goal to create a transformational mindset for change accompanies, inspires and motivates us. We know: Only together can we manage the changes that lie ahead! We support both software roll-out projects, new transport management systems for the business, the introduction of an innovative intranet or even current explosive challenges such as cyber security. We additionally aid the teams and the colleagues in our IT & Digital organization in their personal development in order to sustainably and positively shape the company as a whole. Our Team We have a team of eight people- and organization experts. Many of us are parents and our mutual trust leads us to flexibly combine work and family lives. We are a diverse team, both professionally and personally and enjoy a healthy conflict culture and an appreciative openness that always help us to find the best solutions. We have psychologists, industrial managers, programmers, business economists, bankers, economists, IT architects and communication scientists. We are both introverted and extroverted, sociable, structured, chaotic, dominant, creative, with an affinity for numbers and all very unique. For us, it is the team result that counts, not the brilliance of the individual. Our Technologies, Tools & Methods We use our expertise to assess the practicability of various research developed change management concepts, put them into practice and evaluate them. Some examples of measures we have used for projects so far include: Change Impact Assessment, Success Stories, Gadgets, Leadership and Town Hall Meetings, Temperature Checks, Digital Change Agent Trainings and many more. Depending on the focus and objective - stakeholder preparation, online & offline awareness, qualification, team building or feedback - we strive to adapt our work to the requirements of the respective topic and thus to be able to develop contemporary and tailor-made measures.

Team Data & Process Integration (EDI/EAI)

Our Responsibility We are the Integration Team! We are software developers in the platform IT domain and take care of the process- and data integrations with external customers, partners, carriers and authorities (EDI). One of our responsibilities is to transform the customer-specific data formats to the Hellmann format while always ensuring that the data arrives reliably in the Hellmann target systems. Data- and process integration are core components of all digitalization and innovation-transformation projects at Hellmann. This makes us an integral part in the development of these strategic projects and topics. Our Team We are a team of four software developers in Osnabrück and fifteen colleagues in Budapest. We also have a team leader, a software architect and two colleagues, who take care of the operation, the release and change management as well as the development of our technical DevOps platform. Our team plays crucial part in all strategic transformation projects at Hellmann. Therefore, pretty much all methods that are on the market are used by us when it comes to project management: Scrum, Kanban and OKRs too, of course. Our Technologies, Tools & Methods Over 5,000 customer integrations and millions of internal messages are handled by us via standard EDI/EAI/API platforms on which we build the integration and transformation adapters (business logic). These platforms also provide the input channels for external messages like FTP, AS, etc. Wherever it makes sense, we use relevant standard message formats such as X12, or EDIFACT. However, we also model global business objects, generic business objects and the transformation into the application-specific message format. Our legacy EDI EAI platform is Tibco and our target platform is Software AG Webmethods. We write our business logic object-oriented in Java. XML, XSLT, XSD, Git/SVN, Continuous Delivery, Docker and microservice development are other parts of our toolbox and we can move confidently on Windows as well as Linux systems.

Team Digital Customer Experience

Our Responsibility Our young and dynamic team develops digital solutions for our clients. The goal is to increase the digital footprint of our customers and create a seamless digital experience for them. For example with the costumer portal, where they can book and track shipments and request prices. We are continuously embarking on a digital journey to understand our customers' needs and implement innovative solutions together. As part of the DCE team, you will have the opportunity to work on exciting projects and develop solutions that inspire our customers. We are always looking for talented and motivated individuals to join our team and help drive our mission forward! Our Team Our team consists of 40 passionate colleagues who work from different locations. While some work in the office and others remotely, we still care about close communication and meet regularly on voluntary basis in our office in Osnabrück or for joint dinners. We work closely with Sea Freight, Air Freight and Land Transport and the rest of the Hellmann IT & Digital unit. What makes us special is our passion for new things and our openness to experimentation and solidarity. Therefore our principle: "We win and lose as a team"! Our Technologies, Tools & Methods To respond iteratively and dynamically to customer needs, we use Scrum as a framework for agile development. We also rely on automation, decoupling, cloud and the use of SaaS as the key to success, reducing the time-to-market for our digital products and keeping feedback cycles short. We write cloud-native apps and use the declarative GitOps approach to capture everything from infrastructure to app to CI/CD in code in GitLab. Our Kubernetes clusters run in AWS on EKS and our products increasingly use managed services such as RDS to reduce overhead. Mainly, you'll find Spring boot containers written in Kotlin and using MongoDB for storage if needed. Our frontends are usually built with Angular, but we're always open to changes in the stack and use the most fitting technology!

Team Jana Lahmann

Our Responsibility Our team is responsible for the development of software as well as for consulting and designing our air- and sea-freight processes of the future. Hence, we are involved in the analysis, conception, technical development and operation of our global air- and sea-freight applications. From the creation of shipments in our transport management system to customs clearance and delivery to our customers, we support our operational colleagues in the handling of digital shipments. To achieve digitalization and process optimization across the entire value stream, we also continuously implement integrations with partners, service providers and customers. Over 3,000 users in 52 countries use our software every day – thus, it never gets boring! Our Team We work in small, agile, and international teams and believe that each team member brings unique strengths to the table. In a culture of mutual respect, we encourage individuality while working towards common goals. We pride ourselves on our ability to create innovative solutions thanks to the diversity of skills within the team, which helps us to tackle real problems and create real impact for our users. Our diverse team values both personal and professional development. We usually work together remotely, but we never miss the opportunity to occasionally meet in person – be it in the office, at the summer party or at a team event! Our Technologies, Tools & Methods Our main programming languages are C# and the .NET stack, and we use Kubernetes for container orchestration. To ensure continuous integration and a fast way to release changes all the way to production systems, we use CI/CD. In addition, a message-driven architecture helps us to ensure that messages can be exchanged efficiently and securely between applications. We also have expertise in older languages such as VB6 and VB.Net to ensure that our customers can be supported in all applications. To facilitate our digital communication and collaboration, we use Office 365, plus other tools that help us with digital visualization and to make our work transparent and easily accessible.

Team Network

Our Responsibility We take care of the operation and set-up of the entire network infrastructure in Europe and in our data center in Osnabrück. We support 14 countries in Europe in setting up, expanding, moving, but also in dismantling, but our primary focus is on Germany with 65 locations. In the data center, we support our server team in installing hardware (servers, appliances) and the individual specialist teams in launching all kinds of services. Currently, the focus of our work is on modernizing the switch infrastructure in the data centers in Osnabrück and in Europe and implementation of a new concept to further increase security within our data center. Our Team The network team currently consists of three colleagues working from Osnabrück one working from Poland. Since everyone in the team has one or more focus topics, good documentation and knowledge transfer within the team is essential, which makes regular exchange is important to us. The main contact persons for us are the local administrators with their teams in the region and the individual specialist teams, particularly the infrastructure teams for the data center. Our Technologies, Tools & Methods We operate a network of 110 locations in Europe. For security and connectivity, we use local firewalls that provide on-site security at the locations and at the same time ensure the connection of each location to the central data center and the internet. In each location, we use switches and access points to provide access to the network for the employees on site and for all end devices used. Our network in the data center consists largely of switches and firewalls. The switches allow servers and appliances to access the network, the firewalls secure the services within the data center and connect our data center with the locations in Europe and other regions of the world.

Team Business Intelligence & Analytics

Our Responsibility Our team converts raw data into valuable products for our external and internal customers. We combine the technical know-how for the connection of the various source systems with functional expertise in the different business areas of our customers. The aim is to fulfil diverse information needs of our customers from the divisions of air and sea freight, land transport, contract logistics, finance and controlling, sales and marketing. Accordingly, we work together with our customers in short feedback loops in order to deliver a value contribution based on the company data as quickly as possible. This is usually done either in the form of curated data packages as the basis for self-service analyses, or through complete interactive dashboards. Our Team Our team consists of 12 colleagues with very diverse backgrounds. We share a passion for converting data into value for the company. While we work together effectively in hybrid working environments, we still meet regularly in the office or for after-work events. We believe that these meetings are irreplaceable, just like honest and respectful interaction with each other, in which humor should not be forgotten. We usually work on larger projects in small teams in collaboration with our functional colleagues on the client side, who come from all divisions of the company. Our Technologies, Tools & Methods The permanent technical challenge of business intelligence is the constant increase in data volumes, combined with the need to utilize them as quickly as possible to create value. The development of cloud technologies in recent years has brought forth promising new providers, with whom we want to build a modern data platform that better meets our customers' needs in terms of speed, data quality and user-friendliness. On-premise, we currently work with Oracle databases, SAP Business Intelligence and Power BI. Our native language is of course SQL, although Python is also finding its place in the portfolio as a tool for data analysis and transformation.

Team HeRo

Our Responsibility You don't have to be a superhero to support us in our HeRo project! If agile software development interests you and you have experience with it, this is the best prerequisite for our teamwork! HeRo stands for "Hellmann Road" and is the name of our adaptive, digital platform for land transport. With this solution, we want to completely rethink the "Road" division at Hellmann! Holistic. Digital. Sustainable. Together. That is our vision! Our Team More than 40 HeRos work passionately in various interdisciplinary teams to make HeRo's vision come true! We are agile, courageous, open, eager to learn, collaborative, self-responsible, creative, SCRUM-like, kanbanesque, method-diverse, user-first-mindsetted, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - and much more. We look forward to getting to know you - also outside of work at one of our online team evenings or bouldering, bowling and boßeln together or at an open space. Our Technologies, Tools & Methods "Bake, bake Java and Spring (backend), put it in the cloud. Ready is the application" - at least that's how one of our Scrum Masters described it, but he's not entirely wrong. Add a pinch of DDD to that, event sourcing and our web application with Typescript and web components for the front end, and the application is finished. ...Well, not quite. We simply try too many new things for that.

Team Hybrid Infrastructure - Server

Our Responsibility We are the starting point for many further services in the company such as the planning, construction, maintenance and the support of server infrastructures, while respond to the individual needs of the departments. Our areas of responsibility are diverse: From cloud, hardware and storage provision to server and workstation virtualization, to services for user and operational security. The installation and maintenance of our server infrastructure is carried out by experienced IT specialists who are continuously developing themselves further and who are building up new know-how. Our Team Because of the wide range of topics, our team is broad and diverse. In addition to a general basic knowledge, each team member has their own expertise, which makes cooperation a necessity and extremely effective. Citrix is nothing without Active Directory – Active Directory is nothing without VMware VMs – VMware VMs are nothing without storage... and there you have a chain that makes good cooperation essential. And as we offer fundamental services, we’re always in contact with other colleagues. Our Technologies, Tools & Methods “Cloudy with a view to...” This motto could be the guiding principle of our technologies. For years we have been pursuing the goal of using the advantages of various clouds for our purposes. In addition to the classic OnPrem services, cloud operation has a high priority for us. In today's business world, the management of IT infrastructures is crucial. Based on constantly changing business and security situations, a suitable hybrid infrastructure must be designed to meet the specific requirements of the company. For this, it is important to seamlessly integrate the different components of the infrastructure, such as backup, update management, server virtualization, storage operation and identity management, including cloud and on-prem components. This all depends on our comprehensive planning, effective tools and professional implementation.

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.

Team Customer Relationship Management

Our Responsibility We support the globally deployed D365 Customer Engagement Cloud application, which was launched in early 2023 as a transformation initiative to help optimize our global customer management. We help sales, marketing and service teams in their operational, analytical and communicative business processes. There is also a focus on business engineering and develop solution concepts within the framework of requirements engineering, which we then continue to develop while in operation. Our Team We have a variety of competencies in our team: Business Analyst, Technical Consultants, Developers, Solution Architects and Technical Product Owner. Together we support a global software as a service (SaaS) application. Our main tasks include implementing projects, providing solutions for smooth operations, as well as internal consulting on topics of (social) CRM, customer experience and engagement. Working internationally, we consider country-specific features and cultural aspects in understanding the customer. All to guarantee high-quality results through processes, guidelines, assessments and benchmark analyses with the goal to provide our users with an application tailored to their needs so that they can continuously expand and secure the success of the company. Our Technologies, Tools & Methods We use the D365 CE application to transform our customer processes into technically supported solutions but also Power Apps (Model-Driven / Canvas Apps), Azure (from A like AI & Analytics, via I like IAM, Integration or IoT to S like Storage) and SharePoint (Enterprise Collaboration Tool & Content Management System). For the purpose of creating a profile for our customers and for gaining knowledge, we have additional integrations to the Hellmann website, to the Data Warehouse or to the Master Data Management, but also towards PowerBI and many other applications. The integration into the MS Office package is highly developed in order to be able to use the insights gained as profitably as possible. We use process models appropriate to the situation and make use of both classic (sequential & incremental) and agile methods (mainly Scrum & Kanban).

Team Digital Lab

Our Responsibility We are not stereotypical IT nerds who bury themselves in AI algorithms: In our team, the focus is on ideation, value and fail & learn. We are always in direct contact with both global logistics experts as well as operational employees and work on improving their daily processes. When using AI, the comprehensibility of the results is more important to us than the highest possible accuracy of the predictions. We deal with sales topics such as "lead scoring" and "customer churn prediction", where the local, country-specific but also global characteristics are considered. We also solve operational prediction problems, from package dimensions to freight volumes on trade lanes. Our Team Close cooperation and the exchange of knowledge and ideas are integral parts of our daily team life. Being creative and driving innovative solutions and projects forward for us means constant learning in a dynamic environment with new challenges. A productive and open atmosphere in our 3-person team is therefore particularly important to us. And we also belief that during the development of prototypes, the evaluation of end users is crucial. Sometimes we even cooperate with various universities and students for new impulses and a different perspective on the solutions of our logistics challenges. Our Technologies, Tools & Methods We use MIRO virtual whiteboards, for a collaborative digital workplace in our office as well as in the home office via MS Teams. SQL is one of our most important tools as the data is primarily structured in relational databases. To retrieve and to process semi-structured data, cloud services such as Azure Synapse are used alongside Python queries. We use RapidMiner as a low-code data science platform for fast and uncomplicated linking of data up to the first validation. For more complex and individual processes, we also use Python code, which we can integrate into the data pipelines in the RapidMiner AI Hub. For visualization in the direction of the end user, we use Power BI – both for the design of initial mock-ups as well as for more complex dashboards.

Team IT Steering, Methods, and Processes

Our Responsibility We support our IT & Digital colleagues in cross-team control, methods, and processes. This includes the active implementation of finance controlling and accounting, the collaborative development and sharing of best practices and guidelines in working methods, as well as the provision of control reports and dashboards. Our work is diverse: Preparing monthly financial statements, providing individual advice on methods and tools for the implementation of projects and initiatives, providing tools to support work methods or continuously adapting cross-team control dashboards according to requirements are just some examples. Together we pursue the vision of supporting and enabling the IT & Digital department to achieve the best outcome for the Hellmann F.A.M.I.L.Y. Our Team Our team consists of four people with different areas of expertise. Especially the combination of functional and technical expertise makes us strong! Not all of us have an IT background. Some of us have backgrounds in finance & controlling or management. We work together with all IT & Digital teams and have contact points with other departments such as Global Controlling. Collaboration is one of our priorities. We develop solutions not only for, but together with our colleagues. It is precisely this strongly interdisciplinary and international cooperation that characterizes our work and makes our team unique. Our Technologies, Tools & Methods In addition to the classic Microsoft Office applications, tools such as Planner, Power BI, Power Automate as well as Mercur, Oracle eBusiness Suite, Miro and Clarity are used daily by us. Mercur and Oracle eBusiness Suite are essential for our activities in the Finance & Controlling area. We use Miro for digital collaboration and the development of concepts, Clarity helps us to manage our capacities and topics in a targeted-oriented way. We also offer both Miro and Clarity to all other IT & Digital teams to support their work. Methodologically, we use the OKR method.
