The systematic use of open source in logistics offers much more than just cost savings. Companies benefit from a high-performance, transparent, and collaboratively developed IT architecture.
1. Greater flexibility and lower costs
Instead of paying high license fees for proprietary software, companies can customize and further develop open source solutions. This creates a scalable and cost-effective IT infrastructure that can be flexibly adapted to new requirements.
2. Standardization through collaboration
Many companies require identical solutions for track & trace systems, driver apps, or data models. Open source makes it possible to jointly develop such non-market-differentiating technologies and establish them as industry standards—efficiently and cost-effectively.
3. Innovative strength through global open source communities
Through exchange in open source projects, companies benefit from new technologies, shorter development cycles, and faster time to market. The open source community continuously drives innovation forward, allowing you to rely on proven and future-proof solutions.
4. Greater security and digital sovereignty
Because open source code is freely accessible, security vulnerabilities are discovered and fixed more quickly. In addition, your company remains independent of individual software providers – you retain full control over your IT infrastructure.
5. Competitive advantages through open source
By using open source, companies can respond more quickly to market changes, secure technological advantages, and promote their own innovations. This not only gives you cost advantages, but also an agile, future-proof IT strategy.
