Container Management in Real-Time – The Digital Alternative to Excel and Paper
Whether KLTs, mesh boxes, IBCs, or special load carriers: With Logistikbude's container management software, you always know where your containers are, who has them, and what they cost. Automated, transparent, and seamlessly integrated into your existing systems.
The Typical Challenges of Traditional Container Management
Shrinkage & Loss
Containers get lost in the loop between you, your suppliers, and customers. No one knows who currently has how many mesh boxes or KLTs – every quarter, containers worth a mid-range car go missing.
Siloed Solutions
Container accounts live in Excel, in the WMS, in the ERP, or on paper. Every location, every department manages them differently. The result: discrepancies, duplicate entries, and inventories that no one trusts anymore.
Manual clarification effort
Empty container orders, container returns, and balance reconciliation are handled by phone and email. This eats up hours per week – and in the end, it's still not right.
Automated Container Management – One System for Every Load Carrier
Comprehensive Database
Data from ERP, TMS, WMS, paper documents, and ramp app automatically flows into your container management – without duplicate work.
Real-Time Transparency
See at any time where your containers are and who has them. Like online banking, but for KLT, IBC & Co.
Digital Account Reconciliation
Partners view their balance via weblink. Discrepancies are resolved online – no more phone tag or endless Excel emails.
6x Faster with AI
Our AI agent extracts data from documents and suggests the booking – one click to confirm instead of 60 seconds of typing.
Full Automation
Empty container ordering, release, invoice verification, clearing – all automated.
Digital Container Management in 60 Days – No Major IT Project Required
Understand processes
During the kick-off, we clarify how your current container account is managed, which systems are in use, and which data can be directly transferred to your new container management system.
Connect systems
We connect our container management system via a documented REST API with your ERP, TMS, WMS, etc. Your IT team is only minimally involved – no months-long integration project.
Test & train
Before going live, we jointly test all processes and train your employees – on-site at the ramp and online in the back office. This ensures every step in the new container management system is perfected.
Live in 60 days
Automatic bookings, real-time dashboards, and digital account reconciliation via weblink are fully operational. The ROI of your new container management system usually becomes apparent just a few months after launch.

Development Education - GSAP
The cloud-based software from Logistikbude could be integrated directly into our existing processes and was therefore quickly ready for use. That immediately convinced us.
Since using the system, we no longer need to manually enter loading equipment slips, which has already reduced our administrative effort by 50%. The trend is rising.
Logistikbude has significantly streamlined our booking processes for CC containers in plant delivery, which saves us around a third of working time.
What impressed us about Logistikbude was not a big promise, but a clean process. The solution works where it needs to work: directly in the warehouse.
With Logistikbude, our customers and service providers can view their inventories and planned orders “live” at any time. As a result, both sides work faster, more efficiently and more resource-friendly.
Logistikbude has not only impressed with its extensive technological expertise and many years of experience in packaging management, but also with its professional, cooperative way of working.
We needed a system that would let us know where our battery containers were at all times. That is why we introduced Logistikbude — preventively so that losses do not even occur in the first place.
In just 1.5 months, we were able to start using the system and thus benefit from a complete digital process that transparently shows us the exchange processes and exchange accounts, including balances, in real time.
The software is so intuitive to use that it hardly needs to be explained. In this way, it can be used directly by our employees.

Pallet management encompasses all processes for planning, controlling, and monitoring pallets and other load carriers along the supply chain – from procurement through circulation to return. Effective pallet management minimizes losses, shortens cycle times, and reduces costs through transparent, digital processes.
Reusable container management encompasses all processes for planning, managing, and monitoring reusable containers along the supply chain – from procurement, through circulation between plants, suppliers, and customers, to return. Effective container management minimizes loss, shortens cycle times, and reduces costs through transparent, digital processes.
A digital container account replaces Excel spreadsheets and paper receipts with automated recording in a software system. All container movements are documented in real-time, and balances update automatically – without manual updates.
A container account merely documents balances and movements between two parties. Container management goes significantly further: It encompasses the entire planning, control, and optimization of all load carriers – including ordering, exchange, clearing, and evaluation.
Container accounting is a central component of container management, meticulously documenting all incoming and outgoing load carriers. It ensures that balances with suppliers and customers are accurately maintained and forms the basis for fair container billing.
Every container exchange must be traceably documented – ideally directly where it happens, at the ramp. With a digital container management system, each exchange is automatically recorded and stored in an audit-proof manner.
Our software digitizes all functions of traditional container accounts: automated data capture instead of manual Excel input, real-time data instead of outdated lists, and digital balance reconciliation via weblink instead of email ping-pong. This transforms a static container account into dynamic container management.
Digital container management eliminates input errors, automates accounting, and provides complete transparency across all load carriers. Companies benefit from up to 40% less shrinkage, 80% less manual effort, and a clear overview of the capital tied up in the pool.
The best way to implement modern container management is in four steps: analyze processes, connect existing systems, train employees, and integrate partners. With Logistikbude, you'll be productive in about 60 days – without a major IT project.
Logistikbude has a fully documented REST API. You can connect ERP systems like SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, or Sage, as well as common WMS and TMS solutions. Hardware partners such as Deutsche Telekom or Bosch can also be integrated.
In modern container management, different technologies are used depending on the container type and unit value:
- Serialization (barcodes, QR codes, serial numbers) – ideal for low-cost KLTs
- RFID (passive and active tags) – for medium-value mesh boxes
- Digital Link (smartphone-readable QR codes with web connectivity)
- IoT (GPS trackers, sensors) – for high-value IBCs and special racks
- Blockchain (for secure, decentralized transactions)
- Artificial Intelligence (image processing, predictions)

Our AI components make container management faster and more precise:
- Automated extraction from delivery notes and PDF documents
- AI agent that suggests bookings and reduces manual data entry to 10 seconds per document
- Chatbot for inventory, balances, and outstanding container liabilities
- AI-powered matching to optimize exchange processes and prevent empty runs
Typically, implementing the logistics solution pays for itself within just a few months after going live. The biggest savings drivers are reduced shrinkage (up to 40%), lower personnel costs (up to 80%), and avoiding unnecessary new purchases – especially for high-value IBCs or special racks.
