What inet-logistics does

inet-logistics is a European-headquartered provider of cloud-based transport management system (TMS) software, now operating under the Alpega TMS brand within Alpega Group following its 2015 merger with Transwide. The company builds a modular SaaS platform that integrates sourcing, execution, settlement, and analytics for shippers, logistics service providers, and carriers, and is recognized in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Transportation Management Systems for nine consecutive years. Its product surface spans Transport Execution, Transport Order Management, Real Time Visibility, Transport Cost Management, Reporting and Analytics, Reusable Packaging Management, and a dedicated SAP Fusion integration module, supplemented by the TenderEasy freight procurement tool and "Europe's leading Freight Exchange" marketplace.

Underlying technology centers on a fully-integrated optimization engine positioned for freight cost management, supporting both outbound and inbound networks and reporting typical freight cost reductions of up to 25%. The platform is delivered as multi-tenant SaaS with seamless enterprise and partner integrations (including a flagship SAP connector), and is sold via direct enterprise field sales with a "Request a Demo" motion targeting global shippers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the modular "pay for what you need" design implies tiered subscription contracts scaled to module selection and customer size.

inet-logistics serves eight named verticals — Agriculture, Paper & Packaging, Pharmaceuticals, FMCG & Retail, Food, Automotive, Semiconductor & High-Tech, and Chemicals — through a global footprint anchored in Europe (Dornbirn, Austria) with worldwide shipper reach. Go-to-market is reinforced by a broad content engine (Library, Blog, Webinars, Logistics Unlocked podcast, Road Heroes driver community), positioning the company as a thought leader in transport management. Revenue model is subscription/recurring SaaS, with headcount of 101-250 and no disclosed revenue, funding rounds, or independent ownership structure.

Direct peers

• Descartes Systems Group: Descartes offers TMS, route planning, and freight audit solutions to similar shipper and 3PL customers, making it a direct competitor in freight cost management and execution.
• Blue Yonder (formerly JDA Software): Blue Yonder offers an enterprise TMS as part of its supply chain planning suite, directly competing for the same global shipper accounts and Gartner-recognized TMS leadership that inet-logistics targets.
• Transporeon (Trimble Transportation): Transporeon (now part of Trimble) operates a leading European freight procurement, execution, and visibility platform that competes directly with TenderEasy and the European Freight Exchange footprint.
• MercuryGate International: MercuryGate is a well-known TMS vendor serving shippers, 3PLs, and brokers with rate, routing, and execution capabilities directly analogous to Alpega TMS modules.
• E2open: E2open (including Kuebix) provides a global TMS and logistics network platform that competes head-on with inet-logistics' shipper-facing TMS and Freight Exchange offerings.
• Manhattan Active TM: Manhattan Active Transportation Management directly competes with Alpega TMS in mid-to-large enterprise shipper accounts with cloud-native TMS execution and network optimization.

Emerging players

• project44: project44 is a high-growth supply chain visibility platform increasingly expanding into TMS execution, threatening inet-logistics with a more modern, API-first architecture and deep carrier integrations.
• FourKites: FourKites is an AI-led supply chain visibility platform that overlaps with inet-logistics' real-time visibility modules and is moving upmarket to compete for enterprise shipper TMS budgets.

Broad incumbents

• Oracle Transportation Management: Oracle TMS is a long-standing incumbent sold to large enterprise shippers with deep ERP integration, competing in the same shipper-facing TMS category where inet-logistics positions its optimization engine.
• SAP Transportation Management: SAP TM is the dominant ERP-integrated TMS for shippers, and inet-logistics' own SAP Fusion integration product is largely built to interoperate with this competitor's installed base.
