Industry 07 · Logistics & Supply Chain
Growth for logistics and supply chain.
Logistics and intralogistics providers sell reliability, efficiency and integration. These qualities are hard to show and hard for buyers to compare.
In short
In logistics and supply chain, operations, IT, procurement and management decide on solutions that reach deep into processes. We position providers through measurable outcomes and use cases, develop case studies and calculators that make the benefit tangible and build demand generation for the relevant target accounts.

01 · Starting point
Making the benefit visible before the project starts.
Intralogistics, warehouse technology and supply chain software change processes a lot depends on. Buyers need confidence that the changeover and operation will succeed.
At the same time, many providers make similar promises: more efficiency, more transparency, fewer errors. Those who show the benefit through concrete use cases and metrics stand out.
For logistics service providers, tenders and framework agreements are also strongly price-driven. Clear specialisation is often the best way out of price competition.
Typical situations
- Promises similar to competitors
- Long project lead times with many people involved
- Price-driven tenders
- New software or automation offering
- Expansion into new industries or countries
