We solve your challenges with reusable assets.

By reusable assets, we mean pallets, mesh boxes, containers, racks, IBCs and everything that is used between companies.

These companies rely on the #Bude

The Logistikbude automates and streamlines the most annoying process in logistics

The use of reusable assets causes high personnel costs due to documentation, booking and coordination. Shrinkage and slow turnaround times also result in high costs in the form of repurchase and capital commitment. We are changing this and offering our customers software that combines all reusable assets in one standard solution.

Accounts & Stocks

Standardised load carriers are managed in terms of quantity and thus enable transparent exchange between all partners.

Tracking

Individual load carriers receive a unique serial number and are tracked via barcodes, RFID tags or IoT trackers.

We have strong arguments

#innovative

Leading technology

Real-time cloud approach that combines volume booking, serial numbers, and IoT. Based on Fraunhofer technology. Hosted by Microsoft.

#neutral

Asset independence

All reusable objects in one solution, regardless of types and technologies. That means scalability and flexibility for the future.

#simple

Intuitive standard software

Can be used immediately and learnt within a few minutes, thanks to the latest UX design. Continuous development based on real user feedback.

In 4 steps to digital reusable management

Our software consists of a website, an app and various plug & play interfaces (APIs). We combine this data and store it in a central, secure location. With the collected data, we create transparency so that complex reusable processes are then automated and streamlined.

01
Bring data together
Regardless of technologies and reusable types, data is collected according to your needs. First, we use the data that you already have via an interface (e.g. TMS, WMS, or ERP system). Missing data is then generated via a mobile device, web mask or IoT sensor.
02
Create transparency
By intelligently linking the data, you can see at any time where how many of your reusable objects are and in what condition they are - in real time. In this way, you can increase circulation speeds, optimize inventories and reduce shrinkage.
03
Automate processes
We use the newfound transparency to automate manual tasks. Our software automatically notifies you of discrepancies and coordinates with your partners via a web link. Including orders and exemptions.
04
Develop new business models
Finally, our software offers you the option of invoicing overdue rents to your partners based on the cause. This not only reduces your reusable costs, but also opens up a completely new sales channel.

The symbiosis of sustainability and load carrier management

The topic of sustainability has come into focus more than ever in recent years. And rightly so! But what exactly does sustainability mean? And why is it so important? In this blog post, we will take a closer look at the topic of sustainability and look at it in particular against the background of load carrier management.

“Many people can do things complicated, but the characteristic of the logistics shed is simple and efficient.”

Dr. Volker Lange

Head of Packaging Logistics at Fraunhofer IML

I was surprised that there was already a perfect solution for us for our daily challenges regarding the exchange of Euro pallets. We were able to start using Logistikbude's solution in a very short period of time and thus benefit from a complete digital process that transparently displays the exchange processes and exchange accounts, including balances, in real time and at the same time offers us an integrated solution for centralised communication with the exchange partners.

Maik Westenberg

Head of Digital Transformation (CDO)

We usually develop our software solutions ourselves. However, the software from Logistikbude met our requirements exactly. We therefore made a conscious decision in favour of a professional, ready-made solution for the tracking and management of our load carriers.

Matthias Ehrenstein

Head of IT

We focus on transparency. With Logistikbude, our customers and service providers can view their stocks and planned orders ‘live’ at any time. Both sides work faster, more efficiently and with fewer resources as a result. I particularly appreciate the solution-orientated communication with Logistikbude.

Carola Pries

Backoffice

The cooperation with Logistikbude is customer and performance-oriented. Since using the software in September 2023, we no longer need to manually enter loading equipment slips, which has already reduced our administrative effort by 50%. The trend is rising.

Roland Huber

Logistics Project Specialist

Like money, load carriers are the lubricant of our industry, but technologically comparable to banking in the 1980s. The Logistikbude has recognized this. We therefore see the potential in them to redefine load carrier management and are pleased to support them with our network, including at Fiege.
