IXOLUTION

What IXOLUTION does

IXOLUTION is a Dutch-headquartered software vendor that builds and operates IXSuite, a cloud-based Transport Management System (TMS) sold to road, rail, and inland-shipping carriers across Europe. The platform runs on the company's WebRunner browser-delivery environment and consolidates planning, order management, and invoicing workflows into a single application, with additional modules designed for intermodal operations that combine truck, rail, and inland-waterway transport with terminal handling. The company holds ISO 27001 information-security certification and markets integrated AI functionalities and a real-time management dashboard alongside broad app and system integrations.

The firm operates a pure SaaS, product-led go-to-market: IXSuite is self-serve accessible via any internet browser and is priced on a per-user, per-month subscription, with a horizontal customer segment targeting transport companies and carriers that want to streamline operations without abandoning their existing working methods. IXOLUTION B.V. (Netherlands) is the primary legal entity, supplemented by IXOLUTION GmbH in Germany, indicating a deliberate DACH-region commercial footprint. Leadership is concentrated around co-founder Kornee Sterrenburg, who serves as Director and Chief Technology Officer.

Operationally, IXOLUTION is a small, privately held business (11–50 employees, founded 2013, based in Zwijndrecht) with no disclosed funding rounds, no named customers, and no reported revenue. The company sustains itself on recurring subscription income and is reinvesting in delivery capacity (open Project Manager ICT role), compliance posture (ISO 27001), and feature surface (AI, dashboard), consistent with a bootstrapped vertical-SaaS growth profile.

Broad incumbents

• Descartes Systems Group: Large, publicly traded provider of TMS, customs, and logistics technology with a broad European footprint. Competes with IXOLUTION in the same TMS category for carriers and intermodal operators, but at significantly greater scale and product breadth.
• Manhattan Active Transportation Management: Cloud TMS from Manhattan Associates serving large shippers and 3PLs with multi-mode optimization. A scaled incumbent that competes for the same enterprise intermodal TMS deals IXOLUTION targets.
• Kuehne+Nagel (myKN / KN FreightNet): Global freight forwarder offering shippers and carriers intermodal-enabled digital TMS tools. Sets the competitive bar for intermodal functionality that IXOLUTION also delivers.
• Blue Yonder Transportation Management: Major supply-chain software provider with a multi-mode TMS offering used by large shippers and 3PLs. Broad incumbent competing for the same enterprise intermodal TMS budgets.
• SAP Transportation Management (TM): Enterprise TMS from SAP used for intermodal planning and execution across large multinationals. Shapes buyer expectations that IXOLUTION must differentiate against in the mid-market.
• Trimble Transportation (TMW / Truckmate): Provides TMS and fleet management software to carriers and 3PLs, now encompassing Transporeon after the acquisition. Overlaps IXOLUTION on cloud TMS for European road and intermodal carriers.

Direct peers

• Transporeon (Trimble Transportation): European-headquartered cloud platform focused on transport execution and visibility across shippers and carriers. Closely comparable to IXOLUTION on cloud-based TMS for European logistics, including intermodal and multimodal workflows.
• nShift (Consignor / Unifaun group): Northern European TMS/shipping software provider serving carriers and shippers across multiple transport modes. Directly competes with IXOLUTION's TMS-for-carriers positioning in the same regional and product dimensions.
• MercuryGate International: Independent TMS vendor specializing in multimodal (truck/rail/ocean) transportation management for shippers, 3PLs, and carriers. Overlaps IXOLUTION's intermodal planning and execution sweet spot.
• Alpega TMS (Wolters Kluwer): European TMS and transport collaboration platform serving shippers, carriers, and logistics providers. Directly comparable to IXOLUTION in target customer, region, and product category.
