Shift tomorrow

We actively participate in research projects where logistics know-how and software engineering come together. Goal: to test new technologies, shape standards, and turn prototypes into practical solutions – Every Shift Counts.

What we bring

Domain expertise in logistics: general cargo, collaborations, TMS, interfaces (e.g. Fortras/XML), real-time status chains
Tech power: .NET/Cloud, APIs, UI/UX, monitoring
From lab to product: proof-of-concept → pilot → scalable application – with a clear roadmap and operation

Example: "CloudLogistic"

In CloudLogistic, a cooperation model and an IT platform for the dispatch of partial loads were researched – including line traffic, tracking, and geo-coordinates-based dispatch; funded by NRW and the EU, under the coordination of RWTH Aachen University with industrial partners.
