Customer Session at LeanIX Connect Summit EMEA 2022

Hoffmann Group uses LeanIX to enable digitization across the entire value chain

Hoffmann is a wholesaler of high-precision tools used in manufacturing and high-tech industries. In 2020, the company embarked on an ambitious digital transformation journey.

The company had a vision of optimizing the customer experience across all channels. They also needed more competitive pricing and a single interconnected ecosystem for logistical and technical services. This endeavor required digitization across the entire value chain, from product creation and engineering to sourcing and supply chain to sales and marketing.

In this detailed presentation, Stephan Marx, Hoffmann’s Senior Manager for IT Architecture and Application Services, highlights the value of LeanIX as the single source of truth for all of the company’s applications, business capabilities and data objects. He explains how they adopted standardized architecture products based on LeanIX to foster and mature the Hoffmann's architecture community and facilitate architecture work across numerous projects in the program.

"LeanIX is the right tool at the right time for us, because it supports our architectural products and the concepts are easy to understand, even for casual users."
