Digitization with SAP Business One at Füllemann AG: More efficient processes, real-time data & smart warehouse inventory at the largest tree nursery in Eastern Switzerland.
Kiehn-Holz GmbH
Efficient processes for DIY stores and retailers
As a manufacturer of high-quality wood products for garden and outdoor use, Kiehn-Holz GmbH works with major trading partners and DIY stores throughout Europe. For the company, this means that orders, invoices, deliveries and stocks must be available at all times in a reliable and structured manner.
Kiehn-Holz supplies various retail partners in the DIY store segment, including companies such as Hornbach, toom Baumarkt, Markant, Bahag and OBI. These partners have different requirements and processes. At the same time, expectations of speed, transparency and availability of data are increasing along the entire supply chain.
Before the current solution, EDI was handled by two different service providers. The aim was therefore to bundle the EDI connection in a central solution in order to standardize processes and simplify handling in day-to-day business.

The path to digital stability
Added value in day-to-day business
In order to manage processes efficiently, Kiehn-Holz relies on an electronic data interchange (EDI) service provider that automates communication with partners. The EDI processes are integrated into the existing system landscape, which is based on SAP Business One, among others. The implementation was carried out in cooperation with the partner Avedium.
The EDI data is transferred directly between the systems via a REST interface using an SAP Business One connector and is therefore available for further processing without delay.
The following EDI processes are used in day-to-day operations:
- ORDERS - Used to process incoming orders from the trading partners' systems
- DESADV - Used to transmit shipping notifications and shipping information
- INVOIC - Used for electronic invoicing
- INVRPT - Used for the transmission of stock reports
