On neutral ground.

Our organisation at a glance.

Both the Open Logistics Foundation and its support association, Open Logistics e. V., are independent and neutral organisations. Neutrality is guaranteed both with regard to development of software components and participation of companies. All components – as well as all standards, tools, and services – developed by our Innovation Community are available for free for any interested company. Take a look at how we are organised and who is responsible for which tasks.
