E-business Consultant, Team Lead | Testimonial by Markus
„E‑Business is team work – between systems, departments and people.”
I have been a part of Würth Industrie Service for over 18 years. My entry into the IT department was not conventional: I initially trained as an industrial mechanic and later studied Business Informatics, specializing in e-commerce. I started working at Würth Industrie Service directly after that and have contributed to the development of the E-business division from the beginning.
Today, I am a Team Lead and the qualified person responsible for the technical e-business. In addition, I am also a trainer and mentor the new joiners in the E-Business division.
I handle everything in technical E-Business: Online shop, electronic data interchange, EAI integration, punch-out solutions, electronic catalogues and CMS. My goal is to reduce manual processes, reduce sources of error and offer relief to our inside staff so that there is time for the essential.
In order to achieve this, we connect our systems to external ERP systems, platforms and marketplaces of our partners technically. Many of our solutions are not only implemented locally, but also at all our international companies.
I work with a very self-sufficient team, where everyone knows for what are they responsible. Trust plays a major role for me - control is rarely needed. At the same time, we also work together with many departments: Sales, Purchasing, Marketing, Logistics, other IT teams and external partners.
What counts is the feeling of togetherness. One can learn the technical stuff - but not teamwork and attitude.
Especially the switchover to our current EDI platform was crucial: a multi-year project that started with a few companies and is today implemented across the Group. Even the technological change in our online shop has highlighted the importance of long-term thinking. clean processes and teamwork.
