Logistics that works: Tailored IT security and efficiency

Whether on the road, rail, or in the air - the logistics industry is the backbone of global supply chains. A powerful IT infrastructure is needed to ensure goods reliably reach their destination: it enables real-time tracking of transports, secures communication between logistics centers, and ensures smooth operations.

With CMS as a partner, logistics companies receive the stability and flexibility they need to quickly react to changes, automate processes and explore innovative paths - not only by land, water and air - but also in terms of IT.

From data streams to supply chains: The key hurdles in logistics

From the port to delivery at the ramp, from the delivery van to the cloud: the logistics industry is a complex network that must run smoothly to move values. Between increasing security requirements, growing data volumes, and the pressure to be transparent and efficient at all times, IT becomes the control center that holds everything together.

  • Compliance with strict compliance requirements

    Logistics companies must comply with strict industry requirements and ensure that their systems and processes are legally compliant at all times.

  • Data availability and IoT integration

    Cloud solutions and IoT systems enable access to data in real-time and from anywhere. A robust infrastructure is necessary to prevent data loss and ensure performance even with increasing data volumes.

  • Secure data communication

    Confidential data such as fleet and inventory information must be protected through secure connections to prevent manipulation and third-party access.

  • Flexibility in changing requirements

    The logistics industry is characterized by fluctuating market conditions and changing customer requirements. IT infrastructures must be agile and scalable to quickly respond to changes - whether through new technologies, additional locations, or modified processes

    • Network Monitoring: Continuously monitor networks to detect and fix disruptions early? No problem. We ensure uninterrupted operations in your warehouse, airport, or premises.

    • Fabric: A flexible network architecture that dynamically responds to changes and meets the requirements of modern logistics infrastructure.

Cybersecurity: Protection for the Moving Industry

The logistics industry needs robust cybersecurity solutions to protect against digital attacks, theft, and manipulation - especially in sensitive areas such as airports, where the integrity of critical systems is crucial.

  • Cyber Security Solutions
    • Network Segmentation: Through targeted network segmentation, sensitive areas such as passenger, vehicle, and fleet data are effectively protected against unauthorized access.

    • Network Detection & Response: Threats are detected and prevented early to ensure security and smooth operation of all logistics processes at all times.

    • Firewall: Robust firewalls create an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access and attacks on critical systems.

    • Disaster Recovery: All important data is continuously backed up and quickly restored in case of system failures to maintain operational capability.

    • SD-WAN: Cross-location network management enables secure and efficient connections between depots, warehouses, and administrative units.

    • ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access): Following the zero trust principle, access to sensitive areas is only granted to authorized users, significantly increasing security and optimally controlling access.

XaaS & Managed Services: IT that makes everything possible in the background

With comprehensive managed services, CMS supports companies that do not want to operate their IT processes entirely on their own. This allows logistics and transport companies to remain flexible while having secure, powerful IT in the background at all times.

  • XaaS & Managed Services
    • SD-WAN as a Service: Secure and scalable connections between locations that seamlessly integrate into your existing infrastructure.

    • XDR as a Service: Advanced threat detection and defense across all levels, with centralized monitoring, intelligent correlation of security-relevant events, and corresponding response mechanisms.

    • Network as a Service (NaaS): Complete provision and management of network infrastructure for flexible use without investments in own hardware. Ideal for companies looking to scale quickly and efficiently outsource their IT workload.

Consulting and Integration: Technology that keeps your logistics on course

With increasing requirements and new technologies such as IoT, AI or automation, the logistics industry faces major challenges. CMS supports you in securely and efficiently integrating innovative technologies and making your IT infrastructure future-proof.

  • Consulting
    • Network Design: We develop a specific network design for the special requirements of warehouse and transport.

    • Security Consulting: Every company is unique - the security strategy must be too, to respond to threat scenarios in the logistics industry.

    • Analysis & Troubleshooting: The faster disruptions are resolved, the faster people and goods arrive where they want to go. We ensure that your IT is performing at all times.

    • NIS2 Compliance: There are increasingly more regulatory requirements to consider, especially if your company belongs to the critical infrastructure sector or is subject to the NIS2 directive. We support you in meeting legal requirements.

Reliable IT for logistics that moves

The logistics industry thrives on movement. But for everything to run smoothly, it needs an IT infrastructure that is both reliable and flexible. CMS offers solutions that optimize your processes, protect your data, and pave the way for innovations. Together, we create the foundation for logistics that is efficient, secure, and future-proof.
