Excellent baking craftsmanship meets innovative AI planning
The traditional bakery Heitzmann from Bad Krozingen has stood for outstanding baking craftsmanship, regionality and uncompromising freshness for decades – true to the motto: “We only put fresh things in the bag.” Heitzmann relies on the AI-supported planning platform from AIPERIA to reliably fulfill this claim in the future.
Delivering fresh baked goods to over 100 branches on time is a logistical feat. AIPERIA supports the Heitzmann bakery in producing and delivering the right quantity at the right time. The AI-supported software optimizes the availability of goods and at the same time enables a high degree of automation.
Together, Heitzmann and AIPERIA are pursuing a clear goal: to further improve the shopping experience for customers while avoiding food waste. Precise demand forecasts and automated processes reduce overproduction, cut costs and conserve valuable resources.
With the introduction of AIPERIA, Heitzmann can better anticipate fluctuations in demand and optimally manage the supply of its numerous branches. This means that customers can always find fresh baked goods of the highest quality – a decisive competitive advantage in the modern bakery market.
