Logistics
"Logistics means making sure that the right goods, for the right customer, in the right quantity, in the right condition are at the right place, at the right time, at the right cost."

Digital strategies for the logistics sector
Our logistics team at Eraneos has experience in all areas of the logistics industry, from freight forwarders to standards organisations. From small regional companies to large international corporations, we have worked together on digitisation projects and collaborated with warehousing providers, freight forwarders and cargo railways. When it comes to moving freight from A to B, storing or analysing data, questioning existing digital strategies or developing a new on, Eraneos is the ideal partner for logistics companies.
The Eraneos experts know: the digital transformation of logistics is not only changing the corporate strategy of transport and logistics companies, but also the organisation and culture of the companies. In addition, digital strategies create new processes and business models that increase the competitiveness of your company and open up new collaboration models.
From idea to implementation: data-driven solutions for logistics
With our four-stage "maturity model", logistics companies can assess how far they digitalisation projects have developed and their impact on the company. They can find out their current maturity level and what steps are required to get to the next level of digitalisation. This process ensures the effective use of data and development of capabilities to enable companies to achieve their digital aspirations.
Digitalisation in the transport and logistics sector
Data analytics in the logistics and transport sector
With over 50 specialists with experience in data analytics, machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligence, we can help you integrate data analytics into your strategy and optimise your logistics processes using these data.
Data Analytics - From Pilot to Transformation
We take an iterative approach to data analytics, looking at your biggest challenges and showing you how data can help.
After defining the use cases, we start with the pilot phase. Depending on your needs, different competences come into play: from data structures via data science methods, to the anchoring of data analytics within your organisation.
To successfully realise the transformation, we help you to operationalise the pilot project by involving your employees and management in the newly created processes.
IT consulting for the logistics and transport sector
We believe that IT in logistics companies is not a cost to be minimised but a driver of value. At Eraneos, we help companies develop IT strategies and build up the right capabilities to be more business- and customer-orientated.
This is just a sample of the topics where Eraneos’s experts can advise you:
ERP integration
Enterprise & IT Architecture
IT Governance
Digital platforms in logistics, including customer and supplier portals.
Target Operating Model
Cybersecurity for logistics service providers
In today’s digital world, logistics companies must not only protect their customers’ goods but also their data. Are you armed against cyber-attacks? Do you have the necessary concepts and plans to defend yourself in the event of a cyber-attack?
In 2020, we conducted an independent study on cyber resilience, which found that for 70% of the companies surveyed, cyber security was considered a differentiator in the market, but only 20% of the participants had assessed their current status as sufficient.
For cyber security in your transport and logistics company, we recommend our Security Health Check. Our Eraneos experts uncover vulnerabilities, identify potential cyber risks and work with you to develop effective measures to shore-up your defences.
If you succeed in guaranteeing both the security of the physical transport chain and a secure data flow, you will have a clear competitive advantage.

the extent to which they already use data analytics (DA) and artificial intelligence (AI), and what the main value added is for them.
Eraneos Fokus «Cloud»
There is no longer any debate regarding whether or not the cloud will take off. That decision was taken a long time ago. Cloud providers did their homework and laid the foundation for the secure use of cloud services. But in the regulated sector in particular, there are various different framework conditions that must be taken into account for the compliant implementation of cloud strategies.
