Digitalisation for businesses in Hamburg

Hamburg’s economy: port, trade and media

Hamburg has Germany’s largest seaport and has been a trading city for centuries. Shipping lines, freight forwarders, warehouse operators and wholesalers shape the economy, as do aviation, media, publishing and mail order. Alongside them are many small and mid-sized businesses: retailers, agencies, trades. Orders arrive by email, phone and online shop at once, and a lot is transferred by hand in between.

We bring these channels together: orders land in one system, stock levels are right everywhere, and invoices are created from what has already been recorded. Delivery notes and status updates go to your customers automatically. Plus backups, access rights and servers in Germany you can rely on. Your team gains time for customers instead of copying data from one window to another.

For freight forwarders and logistics businesses, every minute between order and collection counts. Even so, freight documents are often still typed out from emails, shipment status is requested by phone and invoices are laboriously compiled at the end of the month. With process automation, programs read the order data from emails and PDF files, transfer it into your transport system and report the status to your customers automatically. Where existing software does not fit, we develop an app for drivers and the warehouse, for example for proof of delivery with photo and signature.

Hamburg is also one of Germany’s most important media locations, with publishers, broadcasters, agencies and many production companies. Large amounts of data accumulate there: images, films, drafts, approvals. We set up cloud storage that your team and your clients use together, with clear permissions and backups in two locations. We connect approvals, time tracking and billing so that project hours flow straight into the invoice. That leaves more time for the actual work on the project and less for searching for the right file version.
