Rossmann Group: Ten years of evolution: harmonising without standardising with Sage X3

In February 2025, at the Sage X3 Customer Club, Nathalie Rigaux-Burnand, Director of Management Control at the Rossmann Group, shared her inspiring experience of a major ERP project that was launched ten years ago.

Supporting international expansion with Sage X3

With a presence in several Eastern European and African countries, the Rossmann Group  needed a system capable of supporting its growth while accounting for local specifics. Sage X3 proved to be the right solution for these challenges.

A pragmatic, down-to-earth approach.

The project was built around a clear ambition: to harmonise practices without imposing a single model. Each site has retained a degree of autonomy while being connected to a common base structure.

The modular rollout enabled a gradual ramp-up according to the priorities of each entity, function by function (accounting, purchasing, inventory, fixed assets, etc.).

Key lessons from the project:

• A strong group vision combined with flexible local management.
• Reasoned integration without excessive customisation.
• Centralised management made possible by shared cross-functional tools (HR, IT, etc.).

A structuring project for the organisation

This testimonial highlights the transformative power of ERP systems for groups undergoing change, offering more than mere computerisation: they are a lever for harmonisation, structuring and anticipation.

At Deveho, we are proud to have supported the Rossmann Group with this ambitious project. We would like to thank Nathalie Rigaux-Burnand and all our teams for their trust and dedication.
