New strategies and new tools for solving complex problems honoured for the tenth time

Munich, 10 March 2023. How will we react to the upcoming changes in our time, how will we deal with changes in organisations and structures? Old concepts must be put to the test and adapted to new challenges. More experimental spirit is needed for more growth – and the insight that we need new strategies and new knowledge for better solutions. With forward-looking strategies for digitalisation, the strategy consultancy Infront Consulting and KPS AG have now been ranked highly for the tenth time in the brandeins and Statista awards – distinguished in several sectors for a diverse expertise in various consulting fields.

Since the first survey in 2014, brand eins and Statista have conducted an annual study on the best management consultancies. The current study shows that KPS is one of the best consultants in the "Consumer Goods & Retail" sector. The company particularly shines in the consulting field "IT Implementation". This is the tenth time in a row that KPS has been included in the ranking of the best management consultants in Germany. Examples of successful projects are the Scandinavian electronics retailer Elkjøp, the luxury department stores' Harrods, Globus Warenhaus SB, the retail chain Coop in Denmark, but also the garden centre chain Dehner and the fashion group Marc O'Polo.

The respondents of the study attribute outstanding competencies in the fields of "Innovation & Growth", "Digitalisation" and "Strategy Development" to the strategy consultancy Infront Consulting, a subsidiary of KPS AG. Infront also received awards in the "Consumer Goods & Retail" sector, as well as in the "Mechanical and Plant Engineering", "Insurance" and "Transport, Traffic and Logistics" sectors. Modility, the digital booking platform for multimodal transport of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA), is the result of the successful collaboration between the strategy consultants and developers at Infront and KPS. In the transport and logistics industry, KPS and Infront continue to develop new innovative solution offerings that provide best-practice processes and use cases, such as the required level of customisation that is tested in each client project. Differentiating business processes with appropriate KPS microservices and add-ons for each trade segment are part of Infront and KPS' comprehensive consulting offering.

The consulting expertise of our entire company is recognised in many industries, and ranges from mechanical and plant engineering to transport, traffic and logistics to consumer goods & retail. Digital transformation is as diverse as the future of our clients should be.

Targeted individualisation of best-practice processes & use cases

In order to advise successfully and holistically across different industries, KPS follows the "all-star" approach with a diverse team of consultants: this includes not only a strategy team for the development of new business models in digital transformation, but also a team of customer experience specialists for all aspects of digital customer interaction at the front end, as well as experienced SAP experts for the large S/4HANA transformation projects, such as Coop Danmark.

All teams work together in the KPS Innovation Centres, where the latest technologies such as AI, voice assistance or AR meet the strategic potential of new business models or the performance optimisation of business processes in order to be always aware of the latest things that are happening.

With the Instant Platform, KPS also provides best-practice processes and use cases in the SAP standard for the food, fashion, lifestyle & luxury goods, garden, home & living and household & electronics sectors. For the targeted individualisation of particularly differentiating business processes, each customer project requires a new strategy for a new and successful solution path: KPS and Infront prove their willingness to experiment.

Above all, we want to offer our customers the flexibility for future-proof growth and all the possibilities of modern digital customer interaction, because these are currently the most important success factors for companies in all industries.
