TRANSPORT & LOGISTICS

Smart technologies for greater efficiency

On the path to transformation with IT solutions

Disruptions in the supply chain result in financial losses for transport and logistics companies. The shortage of lorry drivers is hampering the sector’s growth potential. Furthermore, the rising demand for environmentally friendly transport solutions presents a further challenge. Digital technologies offer an opportunity for differentiation; however, their continuous advancement also brings with it additional dynamics. Transport and logistics companies must navigate this complex landscape with confidence and make sustainable decisions.

Since 1996, iteratec has been supporting companies such as Deutsche Bahn and Hapag-Lloyd, demonstrating how digital technologies can be used as the key to the future.

Customised software solutions are driving the transport and logistics sector

No off-the-shelf software has ever been developed for this complex and diverse sector. Instead, all companies in the logistics and transport sector must rely on bespoke solutions. We support our clients in transforming their delivery and transport systems and provide access to future-proof technologies.

Tailor-made solutions for your supply chains

Tailor-made solutions for supply chains are crucial in the transport and logistics sector for withstanding competitive pressure and meeting customer requirements.

  • Counter the intense competitive pressure with efficient logistics processes that reduce costs and lead to shorter delivery times.
  • Customers and partners have high expectations regarding transparency. Seamless insights into delivery processes foster strong customer satisfaction and loyalty.
  • The global nature of supply chains makes coordination increasingly complex. Digitalisation opens up opportunities to manage and optimise this complexity.

We develop bespoke solutions for your supply chains to meet the demands of the dynamic transport and logistics environment.

Delivering on customer promises through process automation

Efficient process automation solutions are crucial in the logistics and transport sector for maintaining and enhancing competitiveness.

  • The transport and logistics sector is facing a shortage of skilled workers. IT technologies such as AI and RPA can help address this shortage and offer further potential for more efficient processes.
  • Increasing efficiency within logistics processes is essential to meet the growing demands of the market and fulfil customer requirements. Advanced digital solutions, such as artificial intelligence, offer considerable potential in this regard.
  • Minimising operational costs without compromising on service quality is achieved by automating repetitive tasks. This reduces process costs whilst freeing up resources.

We offer a modular technology platform that enables a wide range of manual tasks to be replaced by digital solutions.

IT modernisation

IT processes are becoming more flexible as the infrastructure becomes more modular and interconnected. The integration of monolithic IT systems with innovative, bespoke components is crucial for digital transformation and is blurring the traditional boundaries between IT systems.

  • Growing market and environmental risks require adjustments, but current IT systems demand more resources and time. New processes and technologies are needed.
  • The demand for digital services and apps is constantly rising, which is why a ‘best-of-breed’ approach is used to meet individual requirements.

We support you in modernising your application landscapes – from analysis and design right through to implementation – all from a single source.

iteratec modernises Deutsche Bahn’s ticketing system: an insight into a mammoth project

Deutsche Bahn, in collaboration with iteratec, has modernised its most important IT system for passenger transport. The newly developed ticketing system, Vendo, replaces a platform that was up to 40 years old and forms the centrepiece of ticket sales for passenger transport.

Partnership with the Open Logistics Foundation

We have been a member of the Open Logistics Foundation since 2024 and are developing new standards across several projects to tackle the biggest challenges facing the transport and logistics industry. We have recently developed the electronic consignment note in collaboration with industry leaders and are currently working on an open-source standard for the exchange of emissions data throughout the entire supply chain, with a view to promoting the decarbonisation of the logistics sector.
