More Visibility, Leads, and a Strong Network: How Software Providers Benefit from Listing on »warehouse logistics«
Published on: 04 November 2026
A listing on »warehouse logistics« helps software providers reach exactly where companies are looking for suitable solutions. It increases visibility, opens the door to being considered for specific selection projects, and creates networking opportunities. In addition to Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Transport Management Systems (TMS), and Resource Planning Systems (RPS), providers of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) can also present their solutions on our platform starting this year.
By being included in the »Logistics IT Database«, listed systems are automatically considered in every pre-selection within the »Logistics IT Online Selection«, at no extra effort for the providers. This allows providers to reach companies of various industries and sizes, as well as external consultants involved in selection projects for suitable software solutions. Around 20 to 25 qualified leads are generated this way each month. In addition, company and product information is distributed via the portal and the bi-weekly newsletter.
Professional Value and Benchmarking
The listing is more than just an additional sales channel. Through the professional input from the scientifically grounded questionnaires, providers receive impulses for the further development of their own systems. In addition, access to the “Logistics IT Online Selection” allows users to assess where their own system stands in the market and compare it with other solutions.
Independent Validation and Reference Projects
Trust is built through independent validation by the »warehouse logistics« team at Fraunhofer IML. After a successful audit, providers receive a validation seal and a participant certificate, which they can use as a quality stamp for their public image. Successfully completed system implementations at customer sites can also be validated. These reference projects make the provider’s practical experience visible and show potential customers in which industries and company sizes successful projects have already been implemented.
Becoming Part of an Established Community
Listing on »warehouse logistics« also means becoming part of an established network. A network of logistics IT providers and the »warehouse logistics« team has grown out of the long-term study on Warehouse Management Systems that has been running since the year 2000. It offers space to exchange ideas on market trends, carry out joint press work, and collaborate on research projects and publications. A fixed date on the community calendar is the annual participant meeting featuring presentations and discussions from research and practice. Participation in the »Logistics IT Database« is possible at any time. The annual membership includes all mentioned benefits as well as the annual validation.
MES Providers Are Welcome Too!
Providers of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) can also have their solutions listed on »warehouse logistics«. This allows them to present their software to an interested professional audience and be found by companies specifically looking for the right solutions for their production and logistics processes.
