What Logward does

Logward is a Hamburg, Germany-based supply chain technology company that provides an AI-powered, no-code Supply Chain Execution Platform targeting enterprise shippers (branded cargo owners) and logistics service providers (LSPs). Founded in 2018 as a spin-off from the global LSP Leschaco, the company was acquired by Shippeo in 2025 and continues to operate as a distinct brand. Its core offering is a cloud-native platform composed of four pre-configured modules — Transport Hub, Order Hub, Allocation Hub, and Customs Hub — supplemented by pre-packaged Speedboats for rapid deployment of use cases such as transport order management, allocation management, and PO collaboration.

The platform's architecture is anchored on a Table Editor for structured data management, Triggers for event-driven automation, a Collaboration layer supporting APIs, EDI, SFTP, flat files, and spreadsheets, and a Workflows engine for process orchestration. It integrates with ERP, WMS, TMS, and CRM systems and holds ISO 27001, ISO 14001, and SOC 2 certifications. Differentiated assets include a Customs Hub co-created with DAKOSY on the ZODIAK GE platform for German customs compliance, an ocean freight allocation engine with rolling volume forecasting, and a free CO2 calculator powered by EcoTransIT World using GLEC-approved methodology. The company also runs hands-on Configurathon workshops as both a marketing and onboarding mechanism.

Logward operates a sales-led go-to-market motion combining direct enterprise field sales (driven by a 'Book a Demo' CTA), implementation partners (CGI, adesso), regional channel partners (MSG in the Middle East, ARCHER in North America), and technology partners (Shippeo, EcoTransIT World, DAKOSY). Revenue is generated through SaaS platform subscriptions with quote-based pricing tied to scope, users, and modules deployed. Disclosed customer outcomes include €720,000 in consolidation savings and a 32% reduction in transport volume for a single customer, with Leschaco managing approximately 450,000 TEU annually and LANXESS executing up to 20,000 overseas bookings per year on the platform.
