2008 started the cooperation
The collaboration started back in 2008 with the introduction of the standard software in Pullheim. Subsequently, as part of an ongoing process of adaptation and optimization, the partners connected additional branches and digitized processes, and steadily increased the range of functions of the WMS, including applications for the processing of value-added services (VAS). The pL-Store® WMS has been in operation at the Eschweiler Logistics Campus since the fourth quarter of 2021.
