The Müller Group comprises activities and numerous strong brands in the dairy, deli, and services business at 18 production sites worldwide. UTM shapes the industry not only in Germany, but also internationally: The products are number one on the market in numerous segments.

More Information
Sebastian Kraus, Senior PPM Specialist at Unternehmensgruppe Theo Müller
The development of Clarity at Unternehmensgruppe Theo Müller has been very successful: In the past, with some topics, the question was whether we needed to do this in Clarity. Today, we tend to ask ourselves: "Can we map this in Clarity?".

itdesign’s total reliability has been one of the bases of our successful partnership, and this has been further bolstered by the strong relationship of trust. We communicate very openly with each other. Suggestions are not simply immediately rubber-stamped. They are critically scrutinized. But itdesign also has incredible expertise that is second to none in Germany.

Peter Trojer, Unternehmensgruppe Theo Müller
We can now devote ourselves to topics that we didn’t have time for before because we had to handle these topics on-premises. We no longer worry about monitoring, dumping, and dashboarding. This is already done for us.

I would recommend that any company that wants to establish new processes (or tools) implement a six-month live phase for testing the processes. This allowed us to determine which optimizations and further requirements we still needed to implement for the introduction of digital approval.
