Integrated logistics IT for global structures – unified data, seamless processes, real time transparency.
Middleware for decentralised logistics IT
The digital logistics platform
for heterogeneous IT landscapes
Wherever collaboration takes place across a supply chain, a single point of truth (SSOT) is required that all participants can trust. The EIKONA Enterprise Platform is exactly that: middleware for logistics IT. It connects existing systems without replacing them and creates a central database for logistics processes. This makes collaboration easy – and creates synergies that become a competitive advantage in the logistics industry – such as shipment tracking, billing or reporting across multiple locations. Serving as a central touchpoint for your customers and support team – it’s a customer portal which consolidates all relevant information and makes it available whenever required.
Who is it for?
- Multiple entities within a network
- Companies with multiple sites
- Heterogeneous IT landscapes and systems
- Data in different formats
The challenge in decentralised logistics processes
Large logistics companies with multiple entities, sites, and IT systems—often across different countries—face a fundamental challenge: disparate data sources and formats prevent end-to-end processes.
Without a logistics platform, data must be captured multiple times, shipment information manually consolidated, and coordination across multiple entities becomes operationally demanding.
The solution: integration of heterogeneous IT landscapes
The EIKONA Enterprise Platform is middleware that connects your solutions, existing systems, and partner applications. This foundation enables you to quickly deploy ready-to-use modules for track & trace, notifications, freight cost accounting, and emergency operations. Instead of replacing systems, the platform creates a common, reliable database, enabling the integration of heterogeneous IT landscapes into a central logistics platform for large companies.
Harmonised logistics processes across company boundaries
What is a logistics platform
as middleware?
Middleware is the invisible layer that connects different systems. The EIKONA Enterprise Platform ensures that logistics processes run efficiently, accurately and transparently across company boundaries.
It enables:
- Integration of existing systems
- Standardised data across all locations
- Centralised view of shipments, costs and status information
- Standardised reporting, controlling and billing
Added value:
- Single point of truth (SSOT) for all participants
- Efficient control of all logistics processes
- Rapid, effortless integration of new partners and systems
- Reduced complexity and increased network stability
Microservices for modular process optimisation
The digital logistics platform builds a robust middleware foundation to provide modular microservices. optimising processes such as shipment tracking, clearing, notification and transport procedures. Customers and suppliers can be directly integrated and use the modules independently – this reduces pressure on your service operation and establishes a centralised customer portal. A shared central database connects every location, delivering consistent, transparent, and efficient processes. Designed for scale, the platform flexibly supports the complex requirements of large logistics companies.
Highlights of the microservices:
Supply chain event management with the EIKONA Enterprise platform
The platform connects people, machines and systems and enables the continuous exchange of all relevant supply chain events. Modern REST APIs and classic EDI formats such as EDIFACT or REL100 enable fast, reliable system integration. his guarantees that all applications, regardless of type, communicate reliably and efficiently.
Centralised user management, single sign-on, and shared master data ensure consistent, reliable data across the platform. Logging, monitoring and accounting guarantee full transparency across all events and processes – crucial for a functioning SCEM.
Technologically, the highly scalable EIKONA Enterprise platform is based on an event sourcing model. Events are stored in an audit-proof manner, processed and further processed by independent microservices. This enables precise tracking, alerts, automated workflows and effective exception management. We rely on industry standards such as OAuth2, REST, OpenAPI and JSON.
Processing over 1.5 million messages daily, the platform has proven its reliability in complex logistics networks, including multi-service provider environments. Comprehensive self-service options put users in full control, boosting efficiency in daily operations.
