Galektro GmbH develops, produces and sells high-quality garden tools for professional and private use. Founded in 1877 by Hubert Maier, the family business initially specialized in rudimentary agricultural machinery that farmers either used by hand or harnessed behind cows or horses - from scythes and ploughs to rollers and the like. At the time of the economic miracle at the end of the 1950s, Peter Maier, grandson of the founder, recognized the new prosperity as an opportunity and radically changed the direction of the family business.
Since then, under the name Galektro, the company has been developing and producing electrical appliances tailored to the needs of gardening businesses and homeowners, such as hedge trimmers, chainsaws, motor hoes, brushcutters, lawnmowers and, most recently, robotic mowers. In addition to its headquarters in Munich, Galektro operates 22 sales branches in Germany, Austria and Switzerland as well as three production facilities in Brandenburg, Poland and the Czech Republic. Galektro employs around 800 people across Europe.
The initial situation
Today, the company sells its products primarily through DIY stores, a constantly growing network of (international) distribution partners and its online store. In addition to various own-brand appliances, external brands from selected third-party suppliers are also available there. For sales in Switzerland, there are national versions in French and Italian. The connected spare parts store, which is also multilingual, provides professional gardeners and hobby gardeners with everything they need to maintain and repair their appliances. Customers and interested parties can also find the right contact person for a specific issue, including all relevant contact information. There are also various portals: Galektro manages its supply chain in the supplier portal, sales-relevant information and documents are available in the field service portal, and both end customers and distribution partners can obtain various support services via the service portal.
Last but not least, Galektro operates a corporate website where interested parties can find information about the company: from its history and relevant press releases to current annual and sustainability reports, a careers section and much more.
Problem definition
In terms of systems, Galektro has a correspondingly broad base. The company uses a wide variety of systems that meet the specific needs of each division: from marketing, sales and field service, after sales and customer service to product and partner management, controlling and human resources. However, the IT system landscape that has grown over time is very heterogeneous.
The data - from customer and partner-specific information and product data to marketing, sales and service-relevant information - is distributed across different systems and locations and is therefore neither uniform nor centrally available. As a result, those responsible at head office have no overview of which source systems exist, where they are used and how, which data is stored in them, which target systems they are linked to and whether it is even possible to provide data at different touchpoints as required. Company-wide data management is correspondingly inefficient and costly.
