Problem
Companies that use reusable load carriers (palettes, containers, racks) often manage accounts for each trading partner in separate systems such as Excel, ERP, TMS, or on paper. This leads to manual data entry, frequent email exchanges for balance reconciliation, loss of carriers, lack of visibility on inventory and tied capital, and high operational costs.
Solution
Logistikbude offers a cloud‑based Load Carrier Management System (LCMS) that automatically ingests data from ERP, TMS, WMS and scans paper documents with AI. Real‑time tracking of carriers is provided via web‑links, mobile apps, barcodes, RFID, IoT or BLE sensors, enabling all partners to view a shared account and reconcile balances instantly. The platform consolidates ordering, release, invoice verification, pool communication and clearing into a single workflow, eliminating manual bookkeeping and reducing carrier loss. Built on Fraunhofer technology, the solution combines cloud computing, big‑data analytics, AI and IoT to deliver end‑to‑end automation and transparency across distributed sites.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers, logistics service providers, freight forwarders and retailers that operate reusable load carriers across multiple locations and need automated, transparent management of carrier inventories and partner accounts.
