What XPROMA does

XPROMA GmbH is a privately held German systems integrator, founded around 2010 and headquartered in Salzhausen south of Hamburg, that delivers automated intralogistics solutions combining proprietary software with third-party hardware. The company positions itself as manufacturer-independent, assembling best-of-breed components from partners including Savoye (X-PTS shuttle, CVP 3D-packaging), Equinox (crossbelt/crosstrack/split-tray/slide-tray sorters), Scallog (Flexypick goods-to-person), and Fluence (SABRE OCR) into tailored installations. Its proprietary software stack — CentralX WCS for warehouse and AMR fleet control, CentralX Postal for parcel/letter tracking, and NetSort for centralized letter-sorter management — provides the orchestration layer, with interfaces to ERP, WMS, MES, SPS/PLC, courier, and billing systems. Hardware offerings span automated storage (proStoreX mini-load AS/RS, X-PTS shuttle), robotics (Forklift AMR, induction robots, Flexypick), conveyor and sortation systems (TD-Sorter, LR-Sorter, parcel and letter sorters up to 48,000 DIN-lang letters/hour), packaging (3D packaging, JIVARO height reduction, carton erectors/sealers), and data capture (dimension/weight/barcode, OCR, barcode recognition). The owner is Ralf Kolsen; headcount is in the 101–250 range.

The company serves enterprise and mid-market customers across four primary verticals: Industrial Production, E-Commerce, 3PL, and Parcel/Postal Logistics. Named references include Deutsche Post InHaus Services, Österreichische Post (with a ~70,000 items/day installation in Tirol/Vomp), Fiege Logistik, Cyberport, BADER, Pin AG, Postcon, Hrvatska pošta Mostar (Croatia), Freenet Logistik, Saxoprint, Kroschke, Avrato SCS, MZZ-Briefdienst, and Kosatec. Quantified outcomes cited include up to 80% more warehouse space recovered, 30–80% reduction in picking access times, up to 50% less shipping volume via right-sized 3D packaging, and ROI within 1–3 years on proStoreX installations.

Revenue is generated primarily through custom one-time integration projects (consulting, planning, hardware integration, software development, commissioning) supplemented by recurring service contracts (24/7 hotline, remote support, on-site maintenance), spare-parts supply, system upgrades, and custom programming services. GTM is direct enterprise field sales initiated via website/phone/email and supported by trade show participation (LogiMAT 2026, Hamburger Logistiktage 2026), LinkedIn and Facebook presence, and newsletter marketing. Recent corporate signals include a facility expansion (Hallenerweiterung) with new photovoltaic-equipped operations space, the TOP 100 Innovator 2026 award, and EcoVadis Committed sustainability status.
