Dirk Rossmann opened his first store in Hanover in 1972. Since then, Dirk Rossmann GmbH has become the second-largest drugstore chain in Germany and achieved a turnover of €9.46 billion throughout Europe. Dirk Rossmann GmbH is an owner-managed company, with the majority owned by the Roßmann family. Currently, the company is located in Burgwedel near Hanover, and A.S. Watson Group holds a 40% share in the company.
Determining the Relevance of Rossmann's Current Marketing Approach
With marketing technology and skills constantly changing, entering hundreds of products into the market on an annual basis can be challenging. In addition to entering the market, a company needs to remain state-of-the-art alongside a marketing industry driven by a massive internal team.
Using a unique digital academy, OMMAX presented Rossmann with both the latest operational skills and KPIs within the market. As a result, by adaptively learning and improving task efficiency, Rossmann could both compare techniques with operations and enhance its marketing operations.
Business Unit Deep Dive – A Specific Expert for Each Session

Each session was held by different OMMAX experts, specialized within their particular work field, and provided live sessions with included tools or data sets. Consequently, Rossmann could ask their specific expert about each business unit, check each workstream accordingly, and adapt learnings quickly.
