Strategic Partnership between Westernacher and osapiens: Advancing Sustainability and Operation Excellence 

Westernacher Consulting, a leading brand for technology-driven innovation based in Germany, and osapiens, a leading software provider for sustainable business growth, have launched a strategic partnership to deliver integrated consulting and technology services. This collaboration empowers companies to gain a holistic view of both operational efficiency and sustainability performance, strategically implementing regulatory requirements while driving sustainable, future-oriented growth.  

By combining Westernacher’s in-depth expertise in ERP systems with osapiens’ automated transparency and efficiency solutions, companies can seamlessly consolidate, analyze, and act on complex operational and sustainability data, thereby aligning financial and operational performance with transparency and long-term sustainability goals. 

Turning Regulatory Compliance into a Strategic Growth Driver 

With Sustainability regulations such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) introducing new standards for transparency and traceability, sustainability has evolved to a key driver of innovation, resilience, and business transformation. Recent research shows that 81% of sustainability leaders across Europe say that sustainability initiatives are driving both innovation and competitive advantage.  

The strategic partnership between Westernacher and osapiens addresses precisely this shift, empowering companies to embed compliance into their operational and strategic decision-making and unlock business value in following ways:  

1. Integrated Compliance for Greater Efficiency 

Rather than handling sustainability metrics as a reporting afterthought, companies can embed them directly into everyday operations. By automating data collection and streamlining processes, this approach reduces manual effort, increases cross-functional efficiency, and ensures consistent, high-quality data as a foundation for sustainable business processes. 

2. Real-Time Insights for Informed Decision-Making 

By consolidating sustainability data into real-time dashboards, businesses gain end-to-end visibility across their operations and supply chains. This enables faster, data-driven decisions and proactive risk management. Sustainability is no longer siloed but becomes a strategic lens that guides performance and drives measurable impact. 

3. Automated Workflows for Scalable Compliance 

The partnership supports automated data collection across suppliers, structured risk assessment, and digitalized workflows, ensuring companies remain compliant, adaptable, and prepared as regulatory requirements continue to evolve.  

“At Westernacher, we see innovation as the ability to rethink challenges and turn them into opportunities. Our partnership with osapiens takes this a step further, embedding sustainability into operational strategy and turning digital innovation into real, measurable impact,” said Mark Mrosek, Global Lead Sustainability Services  at Westernacher Consulting. 

“By combining our technology solutions for greater transparency and efficiency with Westernacher’s deep expertise in SAP solutions, we enable companies not only to meet regulatory demands with ease, but to harness sustainability as a driver of operational optimization, “said Christian Schleich, Head of Global Partner Management at osapiens.
