Dear Readers,
Supply chain is international, innovative and is shaping digital transformations. There is no question about that. These three points represent a big challenge that is up to us to meet.
4flow is international – today our offices work for our customers around the globe on four continents. Our team unites employees from 20 countries. We are growing at such a fast pace because more and more manufacturing and retail businesses rely on the quality of our services.
4flow is innovative – our team proudly received the German Award for Supply Chain Management, presented to our customer AGCO and 4flow for implementing an innovative end-to-end concept. Numerous other awards also demonstrate our innovative strength.
4flow is shaping digitization - we don’t just talk about the future, we are already implementing digital business processes today. And we’re doing it all over the world.
I hope you enjoy this newsletter issue and gain some new insights. Best wishes to you and your families this holiday season and all the best for a healthy and successful new year.
