Efficient container management & real-time load carrier tracking
Reduce losses, optimise your load carrier circulation and save costs with our innovative container management system. Our comprehensive solution offers you complete transparency over your load carriers and enables efficient control of your valuable containers in real time.
✅ Track your load carriers in real time
✅ Significantly reduce shrinkage and losses
✅ Optimise your logistics processes sustainably
Professional container management is essential for companies that want to make the most of their resources. With the right tools, managing your containers becomes a key competitive advantage. Implementing an efficient container management system should therefore be seen as a strategic investment.
Are you familiar with these challenges in load carrier management?
Many companies in logistics Struggle with similar problems every day when managing their load carriers. The manual tracking of pallets, boxes and other reusable containers requires a lot of personnel and yet leads to losses.
The shrinkage of load carriers can quickly lead to considerable financial burdens. Without a well-thought-out container management system, the necessary transparency about stocks and movements is missing.
Time-intensive manual processes make efficient container management difficult and cause additional costs. This is particularly true for companies with complex supply chains and numerous locations. The challenges in container management affect both the warehouse and the entire logistics chain. Logistics service providers are also under pressure to optimize their container management processes.
Shrinkage &
losses
High loss rates and shrinkage affect your efficiency and profitability.
Inefficiency & vulnerability
Time-intensive manual processes make container management difficult and cause additional costs.

FAQs
Here you can find all important questions about load carriers and our solution in advance.
Load carriers are special containers or devices that are used for transporting, storing and handling goods in logistics. These include pallets, mesh boxes, containers and special small load carriers.
Yes, pallets are classic load carriers. They serve as a base for goods and allow easy transportation with forklifts or pallet trucks. As standardized load carriers, they ensure efficient logistics processes and are an important part of modern supply chains.
Large load carriers are large-volume transport containers that are designed to transport larger quantities of goods. Typical examples include ISO containers, interchangeable bridges, mesh boxes and large containers. They are mainly used in international trade and for bulk goods and can usually be handled mechanically.
Special load carriers are transport containers specially developed for specific products or industries. They are tailored to meet special requirements, such as protecting sensitive electronic parts, securing automotive components or transporting medical products. These load carriers are often developed in collaboration with the customer and can have special properties such as shock absorption, temperature insulation or product-specific design.
Load carrier management comprises all processes for planning, managing and monitoring load carriers within the supply chain. This includes the procurement, distribution, tracking and return of load carriers as well as inventory management. Effective load carrier management minimizes losses, optimizes turnaround times and reduces costs through transparent processes.
The logistics shop enables the connection of ERP systems such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Sage as well as various inventory management and transport management systems (WMS and TMS). In addition, data from partner hardware such as solutions from Deutsche Telekom or Bosch can be integrated.
The terms loading equipment, loading equipment, transport container or logistics container are also often used for load carriers. Depending on the region and industry, terms such as transport carriers or conveyor aids are also common.
Various types of load carriers are used in logistics. The most common are euro pallets, industrial pallets, mesh boxes and small load carriers (KLT). There are also large load carriers, containers and special load carriers for special requirements as well as industry-specific containers such as beverage crates or pharmaceutical containers.
Small load carriers (KLT) are standardized, stackable containers of various sizes, which are mainly used to transport smaller parts and components. They are particularly used in the automotive industry, electronics manufacturing and other production areas, where they are part of the just-in-time concept. KLTs are often made of plastic and optimized for automated storage systems.
Pallet accounting is an important part of container management and is used to seamlessly document all pallet movements. It ensures that pallet balances with suppliers and customers are settled and thus minimizes losses due to unreturned load carriers. A professional pallet account records incoming and outgoing shipments and forms the basis for fair pallet billing in the supply chain.
Load carriers can be tracked using the following methods:
- Serialisation (barcodes, QR codes, serial numbers)
- RFID (passive and active tags)
- Digital link (smartphone-readable QR codes with web connection)
- IoT (GPS trackers, sensors)
- Blockchain (for secure, decentralised transactions)
- Artificial intelligence (image processing, forecasts)
