Strategic partnership: ORBIS and Veolia Industrieservice combine intralogistics competencies

The consulting and software company ORBIS AG and Veolia Industrieservice GmbH Deutschland are pooling their intralogistics expertise as part of a strategic partnership. As a result, ORBIS and Veolia can provide customers with a holistic portfolio of services for optimizing their internal logistics processes in line with Industry 4.0 from a single source and thus offer real added value. This makes them ideal partners for companies on their way to a smart future.

ORBIS AG completes its consulting, process and solution expertise through this strategic partnership. The intralogistics offering for customers will be expanded to include a diverse service portfolio from Veolia Industrieservice. Veolia offers its customers in various industries effective and custom-fit solution concepts: from in-plant logistics to technical maintenance and servicing of machinery, equipment and industrial trucks to employee leasing as well as many facility services. With 4,000 employees at 40 locations in Germany, Veolia Industrieservice GmbH Deutschland is part of the globally active Veolia Group.

As part of its partnership with ORBIS, Veolia Industrieservice can also offer the easy-to-use ORBIS Transport Control System (ORBIS TSS) to companies using SAP software. This add-on, which is fully integrated into the SAP Business Suite and has proven itself many times over in practice, enables the creation of a continuous, highly efficient and transparent internal logistics process chain. This is ensured by the template-supported mobile front end of the ORBIS TSS, which is based on the technologies of the ORBIS Multi-Process Suite (ORBIS MPS). With ORBIS MPS, the processes in intralogistics, but also in production and service, are networked, dialogued and visualized with SAP processes bidirectionally and in "real time" in the sense of Industry 4.0 - regardless of the end device. In this way, it is possible to track the material flow just as seamlessly and in "real time" as every movement of the forklifts or other industrial trucks, whose use and capacity utilization can also be optimally controlled.
