The LHBw scored on all fronts: in the first two years of operation alone, the clothing corporation managed to achieve budgetary savings of 175 million Euros while simultaneously expanding its services, thereby exceeding its projections by 75 percent. It introduced a federal-wide IT-network in order to optimize its processes. This system not only facilitated the supply of clothing considerably, but also offered a successful solution to economical procurement processes in the context of public regulations for awarding contracts.
