The NIS-2-directive became effective in Germany in December 2025 – but what exactly does this mean for companies? Who is affected, what are the obligations, and how does this relate to business continuity management? This article provides the answers.

Driverless forklifts transport pallets through the hall, a drone is on an inventory control flight, and employees have the incoming and outgoing goods firmly under control: this is how good cooperation works in a (partially) automated warehouse.

Pallet management via Excel has long been outdated. But manually entering data into an app or software also takes up a lot of time. The solution: an AI-supported pallet account that (very simply) turns a photographed receipt into structured data.

Without Wi-Fi, nothing works in logistics: In the warehouse, in the offices and in the yard, all devices must have stable access to Wi-Fi so that data can be exchanged in real time. Read here what you need to consider when planning and setting up a Wireless Network.

How do deliveries succeed on the first attempt? How do customers know when they can expect their delivery? Can delivery notifications be transmitted in ways other than by telephone? The answer to all these questions: automatic notification software!

The lorries are jammed in front of the yard gate and the ramp personnel are at their limit – a nightmare if nothing goes according to plan. A time slot management system enables flexible control of incoming goods. This minimizes waiting times and allows spontaneous deliveries to be easily integrated into the digital timetable.

Whether it’s a cyber attack or a server crash: if the TMS is paralysed in logistics, chaos quickly breaks out on the shop floor. What measures help to keep operations running and how squirrels can support us? Find out here.

Whether a programme has hung up, the customer's entire network is no longer working or the latest software updates need to be tested – these are all issues that are part of a system administrator's everyday life. No two days are the same.

In logistics, companies rely on all the IT systems and tools they use every day. To ensure their quality, there are certifications that serve quality assurance. Read here how this works and what the advantages are.

In order for one cog to mesh seamlessly with the next in logistics, a lot of systems have to function reliably in the background – for example, notification tools that facilitate the delivery of goods. Issues such as application hosting and cyber security are best taken care of by a full service provider so that the systems are always ready for use.

If recipients are not reached during notification, there is a risk that the consignment cannot be delivered. Intelligent notification solutions determine suitable time slots and notify repeatedly – so that delivery is safe and reliable.

Short-term schedule changes are the order of the day in logistics. With a time slot management system, the inflow can be dynamically coordinated so that waiting times are reduced and unplanned tours also find a place in the digital timetable.

Digitalisation is a fairly hot topic – but is logistics really as far along as it always claims? We show examples of how digitalised systems are driving logistics forward and what you should look out for when implementing them.

Intervening in good time before a device breaks? Reducing the number of returns whilst managing them automatically? Using storage space the smart way, so that everything you need is available but nothing is left standing around unnecessarily? AI makes all this (and much more ...) possible in logistics.

Short teaser for overview page: Alternative delivery methods, multimodal transport, customer loyalty, value-added services, sustainability issues – all of these will affect logistics in 2024. We show which technologies will simplify logistics processes in the coming year and what role reliable data will play in this.

With the help of WiFi illumination, heat mapping and co., network administrators can strategically place access points and thus ensure that stable WiFi connections keep logistics and industry on the air. We accompanied our network administrator Michael Weinbeer for a day.

Commissioning, handling, notification, and co.: The required service portfolio is becoming ever broader. With the help of a logistics network, services can be flexibly purchased or rented.

The challenges of delivering to private customers should not be underestimated. However, the right software solutions provide reliable support in organising and controlling the transport processes.

As an application area, the logistics industry is made for artificial intelligence. Read more about current possible applications and the potential that intelligent logistics software has in store for you.

The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz: LkSG) makes companies responsible and focuses on human rights, environmental and working conditions. We explain what is important and how software can support here.

Geopolitical crises, fluctuations in demand and so on – global supply chains are exposed to a number of difficulties. Software can increase resilience enormously: This way, logistics remains strong even in times of crisis.
