How TradeBeyond Enabled ESG within Wünsche Group

TradeBeyond empowered the trading group to unite 15 ‘islands’ into one optimized enterprise

The Challenge

Standardizing the complex business processes of any one business is hard enough, but when your business consists of over fifteen dynamic companies trading across multiple verticals around the world, it is another story. That was the challenge facing Wünsche Group, a family owned B2B trading group consisting of fifteen trading companies spread across the globe, with ten international sourcing offices.

Each Wünsche company had its own process flow with little standardization, limited transparency, with limitations on collaboration across the entire organization. The Excel spreadsheets and other local tools the company relied on could no longer handle the sheer volume of products and orders the business manages, which includes everything from non-food to food, apparel, textiles, electronics, consumer goods and many more categories.

Wünsche needed far better transparency and collaboration within its organization to keep up with growing demand, but it did not have the tools to digitalize such a large operation with its tremendous complexity.

Those challenges were compounded by tightening supply-chain regulations across Germany and Europe. Ahead of the German Supply Chain Act, which is set to go into effect in 2023, Wünsche needed an end-to-end solution to optimize its critical processes, and it needed one that put corporate responsibility front and center.

The Solution

TradeBeyond provided Wünsche with a true end-to-end platform, and a streamlined system for managing the company’s many divisions and tracking the more than 1000 production facilities it uses worldwide.
