Supply Chain Management (SCM) is one of the core domains powering HelloFresh, with the Procurement Tech Alliance at its heart. Our vision is to build a state-of-the-art supply chain technology that enables a lean and sustainable procurement process from suppliers to HelloFresh facilities while improving the customer experience through accurate ingredient data flow and optimal ingredient quality.

Our teams work at a large scale, solving complex problems across domains such as managing supplier contracts and a vast product catalog, forecasting demand, planning and executing purchase orders, communicating with suppliers, matching invoices with deliveries, tracking inventory, and more. We leverage modern technologies, data science, and machine learning to drive a data-driven approach to decision-making, ensuring efficiency and scalability across our supply chain processes (read more here).
