We make trends: we buy the fashion, lifestyle products and technology of tomorrow.
We inspire our customers every day anew with the great variety of OTTO brands. Whether fashion, home & living or technology - we move the markets. Over 30 purchasing teams from a wide range of categories and non-retail goods get down to business every day with a lot of fun and verve. We put all our passion into our assortment categories. Our customers love us for that. The internal purchasing heart of the entire company is the non-retail goods area. With our strategy and expertise, we are responsible for goods and services worth more than one billion euros.
No one can fool us in Home and Living.
We are the number one in Germany in these lively, always cutting-edge areas. Likewise, we can already call ourselves the market leader in many technology areas. But regardless of the segment, it's always a matter of breaking new ground. This requires courage, a keen sense of trends and, not least, successful strategies.
Why is this so easy for us? Because we love what we do. Our customers can sense that, and every single colleague here at OTTO can experience it live every day. Our dealings with each other are always open, honest, fair and appreciative. Only with us is there the "OTTO we feeling", in which it is possible to work in a wonderfully constructive, optimistic and successful manner.
And that is our declared goal in purchasing non-retail goods.
In addition to favorable procurement, to realize all synergy potentials of the individual group companies. The teams actively shape their purchasing strategy by means of global procurement market research, innovative spirit and on the basis of commercial accuracy. Here, the spectrum ranges from media agencies to software licenses, from conveyor technology to cover models. Does your heart beat for goods and services outside the store? Then you have the chance to become part of a team that is responsible for more than one billion euros in the area of non-retail goods.
"Who else belongs to my team besides me? We have both IT experts (developers) and other product data managers (users). I really appreciate the fact that we all work together in one team."
