Put an end to printed delivery notes

GS1 and BVL implement digital processes with Cloud4Log – including value-added services

Achieving greater efficiency in logistics

GS1 and the German national logistics association Bundesvereinigung Logistik (BVL) launched a project aimed at developing a standard for the processes (supply chain management) between suppliers and retailers in the consumer-goods industry (FMCG) that captures the full potential of digitalization. This evolved into the concept for Cloud4Log. To realize this project, the two organizations selected T-Systems as a competent partner for digitalization.

The challenge

  • Achieve greater efficiency in logistics
  • Replace the paper-based process for consumer goods
  • Establish a digital standard for delivery notes
  • Improve sustainability by reducing paper consumption

The solution

  • Cloud4Log: a modern logistics platform linked with a set of value-added services for a digitalized supply chain
  • The back end runs on the Open Telekom Cloud, which stores the metadata of the involved parties together with the specific delivery processes – all 100 percent secure and GDPR-compliant
  • Open architecture with a modern technology stack (OpenAPI, Node.js.)
  • T-Systems can connect a company’s SAP systems to Cloud4Log

The Cloud4Log add-ons enable companies to seamlessly integrate digital delivery notes in their process flows. The enhanced functions make it possible to eliminate time-intensive, resource-heavy paper-based processes and create optimized logistics processes.
