Specializing in manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics, Ariete Group operates facilities, assembly lines, and logistical services in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. Although it serves multiple industries, Ariete’s businesses are tightly connected with the automobile sector. In particular, facilities in Smolyan and Pazardzjk produce plastic components for injection molding. Ariete was looking to increase efficiency in materials management, production planning, quality management, warehouse management, sales, finance, and maintenance. To do this would require investments in automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics. In other words, the group was ready to start a complete digital transformation journey.
