SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSPARENCY – MAKE THE UNSEEN SEEN
In an increasingly complex and interconnected world, obscurity increases. What once seemed certain is now obsolete.
Especially in challenging times, clarity is essential for making the right decisions.
Transparency is the key: revealing the unseen, making things visible. Because transparency promotes accountability!
When processes and decisions are comprehensible, errors and issues can be identified and fixed more easily. Transparency helps to identify weaknesses and opportunities for improvement at an early stage.
And transparency builds trust – not only in solutions and processes but also in interpersonal relationships.
Let's make your supply chain transparent together!
WHAT ARE THE IFM SUCCESS DAYS?
Whether logistics, IT, purchasing, operations or SAP – the same applies to everyone in the supply chain environment:
The ifm SUCCESS DAYS
- offer information on current topics,
- explain new trends and technologies,
- show the latest developments in ifm supply chain solutions,
- give users a chance to speak and
- are an important networking platform.
THE TOPIC OF THE IFM SUCCESS DAYS 2024
The global economy is going crazy: political crises, climate change and international dependencies are leading to rising prices for consumers and companies. To remain competitive, it is important to create new financial scope. But how? Are there opportunities to unlock savings potential by optimising our supply chain processes?
There are! And three of them were focussed on at ifm's SUCCESS DAYS 2024: planning, pricing and processing are important levers for making the supply chain smarter and more efficient. How exactly this works and what Supply Chain Excellence has to do with an excellent supply chain was discussed at last year's SCM symposium.

DAY 1
GERLINDE COMISEL AND LOUIS AWODE WILL LEAD YOU THROUGH THE PROGRAMME
Authentic, spontaneous and relaxed – that's what our presenter Gerlinde Comisel stands for. Since 2020, she has been guiding guests at the ifm SUCCESS DAYS through the event with charm and enthusiasm. When she became part of the ifm family 19 years ago, it quickly became clear that she would remain loyal to sales. Today, as part of the Global Operations team, she specialises in the internal CRM system.
For the third time, Louis Awode will be co-hosting the event alongside Gerlinde Comisel. He started his career six years ago as a working student and is now an indispensable part of the SCM Knowledge Factory team. He is passionate about building and transferring knowledge at ifm business solutions gmbh and is paving the way for a future-orientated learning culture using AI.
The moment you've been waiting for all year is here...
Where your burning questions get answered:
- Who registered first this year?
- Who travelled the farthest? Will the guests from Bulgaria take the title again?
KEYNOTE: SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSPARENCY – MAKE THE UNSEEN SEEN
In today's dynamic economy, transparent supply chain processes are not a luxury, but a necessity. But how do we make the unseen seen? In our keynote, we will show you why transparency is the key to greater efficiency, performance, and trust – and how you can achieve it.
- Apollo – The theatre
- DAY 1 – 09:45 to 10:15 a.m.
With a technical and commercial education, a wealth of expertise in strategic product development and gifted sales skills: Björn Dunkel cannot be categorised in any box – or at least not just one! The current managing director of ifm business solutions gmbh and top product manager of ifm's Supply Chain Software stands for the solutions and the division itself like no other.
22 years at GIB, 20 of them in sales – hardly any customer or prospective customer is unfamiliar with his face. What is unknown, however, is that Bilgin Kilic began his career in the company as an ABAP programmer and headed the ABAP programming templates division for almost ten years. For almost four years, the sales professional has been fully responsible for direct sales.
At home on the main stage: Gerlinde Comisel & Louis Awode

Since 2023, the ifm SCM Award has a new face.
ifm SCM Award
Since 2012, the award has been presented to ifm customers who have excelled through outstanding projects in the field of ifm supply chain software.
Special cost savings, particularly fast implementation projects, participation in the expansion of the software or the particularly sustainable and long-term use of the optimisation software.
Although the award has been redesigned during the rebrand from GIB to ifm, the message remains the same: "To win the award, you have to demonstrate your success in units, euros, and minutes."
