Supply Chain Management (SCM) is one of the core domains powering HelloFresh, with the Fulfillment Alliance at its heart. Our vision is to build state-of-the-art supply chain technology for a lean and precise planning and steering fulfillment process in our distribution centers globally while optimizing operational performance and ensuring seamless execution to delight our customers with a perfect box.

Our teams operate at an immense scale, tackling complex supply chain planning challenges across diverse domains like demand forecasting, fulfillment planning and production optimization, capacity management, workflow scheduling, material flow optimization, fulfillment operations coordination, and more. We not only employ modern technologies, data science, and machine learning to drive data-informed decision-making for improved efficiency and scalability, but we also engineer systems that bridge the gap between planning data and Industry 4.0—enabling seamless integration of advanced digital manufacturing processes and real-time operational data for transformative supply chain solutions (read more here).
