Warehouse logistics brings together vendors and users of logistics IT in a targeted manner. Our aim is to provide guidance in a complex market and enable well-founded decisions when selecting logistics IT systems.
As part of the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics IML, we combine applied research with practical market knowledge. Developments from intralogistics and IT planning flow directly into our platform, methods and consulting. This creates solutions that are well-founded, neutral and practice-oriented.
Our platform has supported companies for over 25 years in finding suitable logistics IT systems for their individual requirements and comparing the market transparently.
System vendors use the platform to make their solutions visible, generate qualified contacts and gain insights into current market requirements.
We support companies in the selection, implementation and further development of logistics IT systems, combining methodological expertise with practical market experience.
As part of the Fraunhofer IML, we transfer insights from applied research directly into industry — for example in areas such as cognitive ergonomics, software ergonomics and user-centred design of logistics IT.
The team at LogiMAT 2025
The "Team warehouse logistics" is an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, engineers and logistics experts based at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics IML. As part of the Intralogistics and IT Planning department, we are at the forefront of logistics developments driven by applied research at IML.
Our mission is to precisely match logistics IT vendors with logistics IT users, and we are characterized by interdisciplinary expertise and methodological competence (including intralogistics planning, lean warehousing) that we apply to logistics IT topics.
Zur nachhaltigen Förderung des Portals wurde im März 2009 der »warehouse logistics« Beirat gegründet. Das beratende Gremium unterstützt durch umfassende Kenntnisse aus dem Logistik IT-Bereich die Weiterentwicklung der Plattform und stärkt die Community.
The "Team warehouse logistics" was founded with the goal of matching customers and vendors of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) based on requirements and supporting them in the WMS selection and implementation process.

Since 2002, the »warehouse logistics« community has come together once a year at the Fraunhofer IML. Talks from research and practice and the open exchange provide impulses for the further development of systems and corporate strategies.
