3 questions
for Andrea Schulte
SCHULTE specialises in delivering custom shelving systems just for you. Join Managing Director Andrea Schulte to discover exactly what sets the company apart and how our customers can reap the benefits.
01
Andrea, your company ranks as one of the most successful in a highly competitive industry.
What do your customers love most about SCHULTE?
First and foremost, it all comes down to our impressively innovative products. Our motto has always been about doing things the smart way, and we consistently follow through on that.
What sets a SCHULTE shelving system apart are its many intelligent features that optimise space utilisation, streamline and expedite storage, picking and shipping processes, and contribute to improved ergonomics.
SCHULTE revolutionises warehouse management by maximising organisation and efficiency. We are also renowned for our unparalleled customer-centric approach because we care about getting it right. Our customers are always our number-one priority, and we pull out all the stops to ensure we deliver exactly what you want.
The way we see it, ticking all the boxes still isn’t enough: we strive to go above and beyond every single time. We want to provide you with more than just a smart solution to your problem – we want to impress you with something that not only offers great value for money, but also looks the part. In some cases, this solution may be smaller and simpler than you were originally expecting, but as we always say:
If simple works, keep it simple.
02
The striking blend of sophisticated solutions and stylish design in your projects is unmistakable. What’s the inspiration behind this meticulous attention to detail?
When I joined the company in 1993, the prevailing ethos was that everything should not only be functional, but also look good. And while this principle held true, I found myself questioning whether we always had to stick to the same galvanised finishes. So, we experimented with different colours before introducing our first shelf in a beautiful blue. We were delighted to find that this was very well received by customers, and the demand for bespoke solutions went through the roof.
Our attention to detail is clearly reflected in the quality of our products. The incredibly smooth surfaces of SCHULTE shelves, for example, ensure goods can be moved around effortlessly to really enhance workplace ergonomics.
User-friendliness, intelligent design and bright colours have always been great passions of mine.
03
What do you think lies ahead for storage technology, and how does your company fit into that vision?
Even as a company with over a century of heritage, it is vital for us to not only keep up with the times, but also stay one step ahead. My grandfather understood that standing still meant falling behind, and that constant innovation was paramount. This is why we monitor market and industry developments closely and ensure we are always actively driving progress.
The rising tide of digitalisation is a major focus here at SCHULTE, and our production and logistics workflows at our Sundern facility are already riding the wave. This allows us to produce customised solutions with just-in-time delivery, and ensure your physical inventory and data management systems are perfectly synchronised.
We are also steadily expanding our renowned SCHULTE service into the digital sphere. Right now, we are experimenting with innovative future technologies to enhance the intelligence of our shelving solutions. Watch this space for some exciting developments!
