How Hilti leverages neutral visibility data to optimize their supply chain
Hilti, a global leader in construction fastening and demolition technology, has been shaping the industry since 1941. Founded by the Hilti family in Schaan, Liechtenstein, Hilti boasts a truly global footprint, with over 34,000 employees in more than 120 countries. They prioritize direct customer relationships, averaging roughly 280,000 daily interactions with construction professionals. One of Hilti's unique strengths lies in its end-to-end supply chain management.
They manage the entire supply chain, from raw materials to customer delivery, including batteries, dangerous goods and overlength material. However, managing such a vast and complex supply chain requires innovative solutions. Wakeo's real-time visibility platform empowers Hilti to optimize their global logistics operations, ensuring construction projects receive the right tools, on time, and every time.
