Open Source is one of the drivers of digital innovation in many companies today. Representatives from three member companies of the Open Logistics Foundation explain the
importance of open source for them. Three different companies, three individual open source strategies – but a common vision.
An open source community thrives on the commitment of its members – and needs the support of an organisation. Nathalie Böhning,
Innovation and Project Manager at the Open Logistics Foundation, answers the most important questions about the interaction between the Head Office and the companies in the so-called ideation process, the path from idea to project.
No one would think of planning and building houses without considering the applicable building regulations. In software development, however, legal regulations are often ”neglected“. The Hamburg lawyer and digitalisation expert Dr. David Saive, LL.M., wants to change
that – a conversation about the necessity of interdisciplinary cooperation between law and technology.
The EU regulation on electronic transport information, or eFTI for short, poses major challenges for logistics companies, but also offers
them opportunities. What the regulation says, why it is also spurring the introduction of the electronic consignment note – and what role open source plays in its implementation.

commodities.
Dear Community, when it comes to top quality, reliable and efficient logistics services, Germany and Europe have been setting high benchmarks for many years. However, the tables turn when
it comes to digitalisation and standardisation of processes. In global comparison, European logistics companies reach at best a moderate position in these two aspects. This is mainly because
over the years, the IT processes have evolved in silo structures. In other words, companies have either independently developed their own digital solutions or rely on standard solutions from individual system providers.
Blockchain offers real potential for authorities
to reduce interventions at borders and overall to
bring more transparency into customs clearance
and logistics processes by further digitalising
the relevant data and documents. Roman Koller,
Research Associate, Fraunhofer IML, and Michael Douglas, Senior Consultant, ALS Customs Services, answer three key questions.
Open source is integral to the technological endeavors of any organisation or enterprise that
