Managing numerous outsourced logistics projects from different customers is a major challenge for logistics service providers, warehouses and freight forwarders. To give just one example: Storage locations are assigned to different companies, which often also work with different merchandise management systems. As the interface between manufacturer and customer, logistics service providers must use a sophisticated warehouse management system tailored to the specifics of the industry. This is especially important when it comes to storing and transporting food or frozen products. Here, maintaining the cold chain is of the highest priority and it is of great importance to be able to trace which product was stored and when, so that a clear overview of the minimum shelf life of the products is guaranteed.

proLogistik has developed its own module for logistics service providers in the food sector, which is installed higher-level to the warehouse management system. With the warehouse management software -additional function, service providers can manually enter orders to enable flexible client management. Other industry-specific functions such as stock money calculation, FIFO principle and best-before date control are also included.
