Hi there!

Find out more about who we are and how our story began.

Our story

A story that was waiting to be written

When we worked at Fraunhofer IML in Dortmund, we were a colorful group of four completely different personalities with more than 30 years of experience in everything related to logistics, load carriers and software. During our time together at IML, we got the idea that we could turn the whole thing with load carrier management on its head — not just make it a bit better, but really revolutionize it. Existing solutions were simply too complicated for us and many new technologies such as RFID, IoT or AI could not be used at all. We never let go of this idea until we launched the Logistikbude at the end of 2021. Since then, we have been developing software that not only impresses in terms of simplicity, but also really helps people out there in the logistics jungle.

That's who we are

Dr. Volker Lange

Head of Packaging Logistics at Fraunhofer IML

At the place, I particularly appreciate the trust that has been placed in me since my first day, as well as the variety of my tasks, which make my working days so varied. It is crucial for me to find a balance between ambition and fun at work, and I find both here.

Maria Rey

Team Assistant

I couldn't have wished for a better team for my first real job as a developer: Understanding, humour and skill combined with lots of lovely people who all get on well together make sure that I simply love working here. As a board game lover, I'm also an absolute fan of the regular game nights.

Vanessa Trauner

A culture that, in addition to a relaxed working atmosphere, offers lots of laughs and pleasant togetherness, where everyone can talk to each other on equal footing, is an integral part of the place.
