Implementation
ELOGATE is not just a TMS – we integrate the optimal operating model for your transport logistics deeply into your system landscape.
"Do you understand my business?"
Yes – transport logistics has been our area of expertise for over 20 years.
It all starts with your business, not our software. At the kick‑off meeting, we’ll look at how you currently put out tenders, award contracts, process shipments and settle accounts – where the effort lies, what data your ERP system provides and what matters in your industry. Because transport logistics has been our sole area of expertise for over 20 years, we ask the right questions right from the start.
"Am I really getting the best possible process?"
Yes – you’ll be provided with the process that has been developed through 20 years of practical experience.
ELOGATE was not conceived on the drawing board, but developed through collaboration with industrial companies that are now using the system in production across 16 European countries. It incorporates over 150 end‑to‑end transport processes and more than 30,000 project hours.
ELOGATE is the right fit for your business if you handle regular transport volumes (€5–50 million), use an ERP system that can be integrated, are able to standardise your processes, and wish to use logistics as a competitive advantage.
"Do I have to bend over backwards?"
No – the tried‑and‑tested process will be seamlessly integrated into your system environment.
ELOGATE comes pre‑configured. The tried‑and‑tested process is tailored to your systems. This fine‑tuning is an integral part of every implementation and has been honed through a large number of projects – a structured process with a clear outcome.
"Will this mess up my IT?"
No – your ERP remains the core system; ELOGATE integrates seamlessly.
An ERP integration is a fundamental requirement at ELOGATE. All relevant data flows automatically in both directions via a standard interface that has been in stable use for years: for SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, proALPHA, Infor and other common systems.
"Can my team do that?"
Yes – and right from day one, your team will find the work noticeably easier.
From our experience with numerous roll‑outs, we know what is needed to ensure that staff can work confidently with ELOGATE right from the start. The system takes care of repetitive manual tasks – searching, allocating and follow‑up calls – and frees up time for the actual tasks at hand. We support the transition in such a way that it is perceived as a relief in day‑to‑day work.
"Will my business carry on?"
Yes – the implementation has been fully tested prior to launch.
Before going live, the implementation is thoroughly tested to ensure a smooth transition – whether phased or in a single step. As a partner with over 20 years’ experience in implementing transport logistics processes, we ensure that your operations continue without interruption.
"Will you leave me alone?"
No – the real partnership begins after the go‑live.
We remain available to you – through a dedicated support channel and as a partner who understands your business. This also involves embedding the project within your organisation and overcoming internal resistance. Our aim is to provide consultancy, not merely to implement the technology.
