We always make our mark with customers when an extraordinarily advanced optimisation creates a high added value for our customers. Based on this USP, we will support our customers more broadly in their value chains in logistics, field service and field sales and, in perspective, fully commit to software-as-a-service (SaaS). Our organic product strategy and our inorganic M&A strategy follow these principles and they will continue to allow us to achieve dynamic and sustainable growth.

The German company Städtler Logistik, CEO Michael Reichle, with software products such as TRAMPAS and LP/2, (CEO Michael Reichle) optimises complex and company-specific logistics and transport processes.
