Berlin. Pistor AG, the Swiss distributor of hospitality, bakery and care supplies, is relying on Turbine Kreuzberg's platform expertise to put new digital initiatives into practice technologically. One of the long-term partnership's focus areas lies in intensively expanding Pistor's digital commerce landscape. The technological basis for this is Spryker, whose modular Commerce OS is particularly suited to bringing innovative retail models into the digital space.

The aim of the collaboration between Pistor and Turbine Kreuzberg is to establish a new benchmark for connected procurement in the Swiss food, non-food and care market. Relying on a collaborative network approach has always been an integral part of Pistor's company DNA: the distributor was founded as a purchasing cooperative formed by Swiss bakeries in 1916.

"For over one hundred years, Pistor AG has been defined by intensely focussing on service and interconnectedness. It is precisely this approach that we will be reinforcing in our digital efforts," says Michèle Waeber, Head of HR and ICT at Pistor AG. "With Turbine Kreuzberg's technological expertise and the high Spryker capabilities of its development teams, we are able to successively and consistently put our digital strategy into practice.

Since implementing its first Spryker platform in 2015, the technology agency Turbine Kreuzberg now counts seventeen Spryker-based projects that its teams have either successfully completed or are currently implementing. In addition to this wealth of experience, Turbine Kreuzberg was able to particularly impress with its approach to software projects, in which development is accompanied by a dedicated delivery management service. The aim is to make even the most complex projects run smoothly by relying on a granular controlling setup with near daily updates, regular steering meetings, as well as a clear division of roles with direct communication channels and transparent processes.

"To implement digital initiatives of this kind successfully and simultaneously break new ground on the tech side, you need absolute trust among everyone involved in the project and its progress. That's precisely what our implementation approach aims to achieve. We are looking forward to proving this together with Pistor AG as our partner, as well as to presenting the first results of our collaboration soon," explains Christopher Möhle, COO at Turbine Kreuzberg.
