Lidl and Kaufland: 120 Mendix apps in 3 years
Schwarz Group, Europe’s largest retailer, built 120+ apps on Mendix, cutting time-to-market by 75% across 12,000 stores.
The challenge
At a scale of 12,000 stores and thousands of processes, classic software delivery couldn’t keep up. Every new feature meant long IT queues and rising costs.
What Mendix delivered
Schwarz built its own team and app factory on Mendix: 120+ apps in 3 years, to shared standards and keeping control. Instead of waiting for vendors, it delivered itself, faster and cheaper.
