It’s a horror scenario for any company: losing one your highest-revenue customers. The management wants to know how the loss will affect the operating result. The consequences for turnover, inventory, material and personnel costs also need to be identified as quickly as possible. In theory, this is the time for management control. In practice, however, this is often hopelessly overwhelmed. In his article, enomyc author Peter Kink describes how companies can quickly gain an overview with targeted mass data analysis. And why, despite everything, corporate management remains a managerial domain.

Forecasts are difficult, especially when they concern the future. What sounds so flippant and easy is often a great burden in everyday business life, as most decisions have to be made under great uncertainty. Nobody knows what the future holds and which decision will turn out to be the right one in the end. In their article, our enomyc authors Stefan Frings and Mario Trapp show how modern business intelligence and business analytics solutions can also help SMEs to make better-informed and therefore sounder decisions.

In many companies, the scope for improving profitability through cost reductions has become narrower. The implementation of efficiency improvements often requires great efforts on the part of companies. Price measures, on the other hand, are easier to implement and offer significantly better opportunities for a substantial but also sustainable improvement in profitability. What pragmatic approaches quickly create scope for margin improvements? Jan Ulrik Holsten, partner at enomyc in Berlin, will discuss approaches and offer practical examples for achieving improvements in pricing.

In recent months, the labor shortage in Germany has dominated headlines, but now, a flurry of layoff announcements has taken center stage. Many medium-sized enterprises are compelled by increasing profit pressures to optimize their operational processes. A frequently overlooked area is overhead. Experience shows that many mid-sized companies carry unnecessary overhead costs. Potential savings in the overhead sector typically range from 15 to 18 percent. enomyc author Jan Ulrik Holsten outlines the optimal approach to overhead cost reduction and explains why customer satisfaction must always be a priority.

Digitalization has become an indispensable part of our everyday life. It is becoming increasingly important for consumers and companies alike and is equally driving the demands of all to the extreme. In addition to the gigantic opportunities and market potential that digitization offers, it also presents companies with perhaps the greatest challenge since its inception. Be it with regards to services or products: innovation is required! But so are fast adaptation and intuitive operability. What do our digitalization experts observe at enomyc? What are the three biggest pitfalls that are encountered during the digitalization process? How can companies recognize them in time, and how can they avoid them?

Disruptive technologies such as genAI are becoming increasingly important in the business world. This presents the upper midmarket segment with the challenge of not only understanding these technologies as a trend, but also applying them in practice in order to best increase efficiency and innovative capacity. Concerns that the barriers to entry are too high for SMEs are unfounded, says head of innovation at enomyc and author, Franz Wenzel. A certain amount of preparation and training is essential, however, a strategy for AI integration that has been worked out down to the last detail is not necessary from the get go. He is convinced that two factors are much more decisive: Understanding. And time.

Volle Lager, volle Regale, eine Top-Auswahl und ein gut geplanter Abverkauf. Ist das überhaupt möglich? Denn ganze Branchen haben überproduziert. Und tun dies immer noch. In der Lebensmittelindustrie – vorrangig im Bäckereigewerbe – werden buchstäblich Tonnen für die Tonne produziert. Und auch die Fast Fashion-Industrie agiert ähnlich. Welche Geschäftsmodelle führen aus der Fehlplanung? Wie kann das Retourenmanagement optimiert werden? Und was müssen Unternehmen bei der Nutzung von smarten Forecasts und Warenwirtschaftssystemen beachten? Ein Gespräch mit Dr. Tim Bauer, Director bei enomyc.
