Project Hintzen Logistics

Customized freight forwarding software with system depth

A common origin – a strong partnership


Hintzen Logistik GmbH, based in Eschweiler, is not only a long-standing customer but the origin of our own company history. Arising from the IT department of Hintzen Logistik, we have always supported the company in all matters of digitization and software development. 

Until 2022, we were responsible for the entire IT infrastructure – today our focus is on the further development of the customized Transport Management System (TMS), which is precisely tailored to the requirements of Hintzen Logistik.

Technical Highlights

01
Shipment capture & scanning processes: end-to-end digitalization from goods receipt to delivery
02
EDI interfaces for seamless communication with customers, partners, subcontractors, and external software
03
Disposition & tour optimization with integrated ETA calculation
04
Rate and billing module with customer-specific prices, automatic invoice generation, and transfer to the financial accounting

Conclusion

The software has replaced a proprietary development by Mr. Hintzen and has been further developed in close collaboration with him. As a particularly IT-savvy, innovative logistics expert, Mr. Hintzen has high demands for automation, availability, and robustness – and we meet this requirement with our solution.
