Less standstill, more movement
IT solutions for logistics combine ERP, digital maintenance, IoT data collection and AI-assisted functions within a single system landscape. collana develops these logistics IT solutions on a Microsoft platform and integrates them into your existing logistics processes. The benchmark for every project: vehicles, equipment and teams remain operational, and the supply chain keeps moving.
Busy roads, tight timeframes, rising costs: the logistics sector is under constant pressure. IT determines whether your processes can keep pace with these challenges.
Lack of an overview: Real-time analyses provide an overview of stock levels, transport operations and plant condition.
Vehicle and equipment breakdowns: Digital maintenance plans maintenance work before downtime occurs.
Incomplete data: IoT sensors collect operational data directly from vehicles and plant.
Unconnected systems: An IoT architecture with ERP and MES integration brings the data sources together.
Manual effort: Automated workflows handle fault reports, work orders and documentation.
Pressure to improve efficiency: Data-driven planning makes better use of the fleet, warehouse and staff.

Logistics companies rarely start from scratch. Our IT solutions therefore build on existing systems and fill the gaps in the IT infrastructure.
collana maintool is a maintenance software solution that is fully integrated into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It automatically schedules maintenance, manages fault reports and spare parts, and can be used on mobile devices even when offline. This transforms maintenance from a paper-based process into a manageable workflow.
ILAI answers calls, recognises callers or number plates, and accesses real-time data. At Carl and Carla Van Hire, the service agent handles vehicle returns without any human intervention.
We deploy generative AI in your own Azure environment. Your data remains within your infrastructure. An example from the logistics sector is given below: the maintenance chatbot at Bucher Municipal.
The ERP system It brings together finance, procurement, warehouse management and orders. Maintenance and data analysis build directly on this. We use interfaces to integrate existing systems throughout the supply chain, from warehouse management to transport planning.
We connect vehicles and equipment via the IoT, store the data on a central platform and analyse it using BI dashboards . This ensures transparency throughout the entire supply chain, from goods receipt right through to transport.
A flexible, complete ERP solution for companies in any industry. Finance, purchasing, warehouse, projects and sales all come together in one system.
collana offers holistic data & analytics solutions that create transparency, optimise processes and enable strategic foresight.
With our industrial IoT architectures, we create the technical basis for networked production, smart maintenance and data-driven decisions.
How well-known companies from Transport and logistics minimise downtimes and increase efficiency with collana.
The maintool suite manages the maintenance of baggage handling systems, passenger boarding bridges, runway lighting and apron lighting. Maintenance is carried out paperlessly. The Head of Flight Operations Facilities estimates that this saves several tonnes of paper per year.
A chatbot based on Azure OpenAI and Azure AI Search makes technical documentation searchable for service teams worldwide, in German, Spanish or Chinese. Diagnostics and repairs are carried out more quickly, and downtime is reduced.
The van hire company rents out over 1,000 vans in more than 40 towns and cities. ILAI automates around 90 per cent of vehicle returns, halves call duration and costs less than one euro per call, 24 hours a day.
AI-generated training content supports training programmes – an example of generative AI in a technical context.
Logistics processes leave no room for experimentation. As your IT partner, we bring a wealth of experience from projects with airports, manufacturers and transport companies. We advise on selection, handle implementation and remain on hand to support operations. We roll out the digitalisation of your logistics in stages to ensure day-to-day operations continue uninterrupted.
IT is the backbone of logistics: it manages the flow of goods from the order through to warehousing and transport, right through to the maintenance of vehicles and equipment. Without integrated IT systems, data gaps arise, and every gap costs time or compromises availability.
Common systems include ERP systems, warehouse management systems (WMS), transport management systems (TMS) and maintenance software. collana provides the ERP system, maintenance software (maintool), data platforms and AI solutions, and integrates existing specialist systems via interfaces.
By taking stock rather than embarking on a major project. The Digitalisation Readiness Assessment shows which logistics processes offer the greatest potential for improvement and which systems you can continue to use.
