2025 elogistics award: Schmitz Cargobull honoured for digital transformation in the logistics sector
The experts from Schmitz Cargobull were recognised for their solution “Integrated process landscape for managing volatile supply chains in an adaptive production network”. This comprehensive digitalisation initiative enables decentralised, flexible, and sustainable management of logistics operations.
“We are so pleased to have received this award. We see it as a joint achievement, shared by the members of our cross-site logistics teams, IT and external partners. The goal of our initiative is to make production and logistics processes within a global and dynamic supply chain environment more robust, adaptable and efficient. The award-winning solution is based around the core components of decentralised transport management with end-to-end data flows, digital yard management, and process-based, integrated reusable container management with global inventories that are updated on a daily basis,” says Coenen.

Schmitz Cargobull’s digitalisation partner Heylog was also honoured for its contribution to the solution. As part of the digitalisation of yard management, Heylog’s platform will be responsible for key tasks such as digital driver registration, safety training, arrivals management and the directing of incoming material deliveries. Rather than relying on complex hardware, Heylog’s approach leverages existing technology, such as smartphones, QR codes and messaging services like WhatsApp, and integrates those seamlessly with established software solutions like SAP. “Thanks to Heylog, we can bridge the digital gap between delivery and unloading, significantly reduce waiting times and enhance process efficiency for the long term,” explains Coenen.
According to the jury – comprising esteemed leaders from the automotive industry, digitalisation experts and professors from Saarland University of Applied Sciences – Schmitz Cargobull’s solution was an impressive demonstration of how digitalisation can be used to increase operating agility and boost economic sustainability. Praise went to the solution’s modular architecture and the ongoing focus on practical requirements.
