    Challenge

    Böllhoff wanted to optimize and standardize its warehouse and logistics processes with a single, group-wide WMS. Because a WMS sits at the heart of day-to-day operations, selecting one was a mission-critical and highly complex decision that required involvement from all stakeholders. It called for all 18 affected stakeholders, across functions, to be at the table and aligned on a shared set of requirements. An initial attempt to run the selection with external consultants had not succeeded.

    Solution

    Stackgini was introduced as the central platform for the entire selection, making working across functions remarkably easy. Rather than juggling scattered spreadsheets and email threads, all 18 stakeholders collaborated in one shared, transparent workspace, each contributing their needs directly. Creating the requirements was strikingly simple: together the team defined 194 requirements in minutes instead of weeks, and a market analysis surfaced 23 fitting solutions in the first hour. Stackgini then guided the group through the vendor RFIs and a transparent evaluation down to a six-solution shortlist, with its AI evaluation forming the foundation for the team's final internal validation.

    Result

    With Stackgini guiding the entire process, Böllhoff ran a software selection firmly based on its actual needs. The feasibility was confirmed directly by the vendors and carried by strong internal buy-in. Because everyone helped shape the requirements together on one transparent platform, it was a software selection process the whole organization stood behind.
