Our Story
We started as a group of FRIENDS. Some of us knew each other since our youth, others joined later. As different as we were, what we had in common was our many years of EXPERIENCE in LOGISTICS and TRANSPORT. And we made no secret of our own frustrations with far too slow systems and too complex applications in that industry.
Together, we started DREAMING about an ENGINE that could process all the data and different formats at GREAT SPEED, but would still remain very EASY to use. What about a powerful application that a simple user could still configure completely by himself and fully INTUITIVELY?
One day, in 2015, over a beer among friends, we decided: this dream is worth a try! Focusing on the customer dissatisfactions and gaps in the industry’s existing offering, we drafted the first SMART reporting engine for the world of logistics and transportation. The INNOVATIVE Smart(log) application was born.
Since that day, we have continuously improved our system until it became SECOND TO NONE. We have created a solution that SIMPLIFIES the lives of thousands of warehouse employees, salespeople, managers, shop owners, customer service agents and many others.
A smart vision of logistics!
