Arvato Systems celebrates a decade of innovation and customer success in the digital supply chain
Ten Years of platbricks
G tersloh - The cloud-based logistics platform platbricks from Arvato Systems is celebrating its tenth anniversary and can look back on an impressive success story. Since its launch in 2016, platbricks has developed into one of the leading platforms for the digitalization and optimization of logistics processes. Today, platbricks is used in twelve countries, has more than 75 customers and several thousand active users - including well-known companies such as ADAC, Josera from the Erbacher the food family and BB packaging. The round birthday should also be celebrated on the LogiMAT 2026 and at the platbricks Experience Day 2026.
Christoph Tieben, Director Digital Supply Chain at Arvato Systems, emphasizes the strategic importance of platbricks : With platbricks , we offer our customers the right tools to design their entire logistics according to their ideas and needs - building block by building block. The combination of cloud-based solutions, comprehensive industry knowledge and innovative strength makes us a reliable partner for the digital transformation of the supply chain.
We recognized very early on that cloud-native solutions are a fundamental driver and enabler of digitalization, emphasizes Bernd Jaschinski-Sch rmann, Head of Digital Supply Chain Management & Platform Business at Arvato Systems and platbricks expert from the very beginning. At the same time, usability is playing an increasingly important role in software decisions. Thats why we developed platbricks from the perspective of our customers right from the start - we were able to do this because we not only act as a software company, but also as process consultants in logistics, continues Jaschinski-Sch rmann. Ten years of platbricks stand for continuous innovation, partnership-based cooperation and the courage to break new ground. Today, our platform is synonymous with flexibility and future-proofing in logistics. I am particularly proud of our team and the community that have made platbricks what it is today.
Michael Keimeier, Product Owner from the very beginning, adds: platbricks was conceived from the outset as a digital modular system that adapts to the requirements of our customers. The modular architecture and openness to new technologies such as Generative AI make platbricks unique. This anniversary is an incentive for us to continue writing this success story together with our customers.
