DigiLogistika Keskus (Digital Logistics Centre of Excellence)

What DigiLogistika Keskus (Digital Logistics Centre of Excellence) does

DigiLogistika Keskus OÜ (DLK) is an Estonian digital logistics firm headquartered in Tallinn that designs and operates infrastructure for the EU's Electronic Freight Transport Information (eFTI) regime, codified in EU Regulation 2020/1056. The company's founders originated the dynamic digital cargo data sharing concept that became the technical basis of the eFTI Regulation, and DLK continues to consult the European Commission DG MOVE and Germany's Federal Ministry of Transport on implementation. Its core product set comprises the eFTI Gate common access point that connects private eFTI data platforms to national authorities, the e-waybill platform supporting eCMR, eAWB, eB/L and eCIM/eSMGS formats, and a real-time, event-based supply chain visibility service. These offerings are built around harmonised international data standards (PEPPOL, UN/CEFACT, GS1) and apply AI and machine learning to process automation and predictive supply chain analytics.\n\nDLK serves two principal customer groups: government and public authorities across EU member states (including the European Commission, the Estonian Tax and Customs Board and the 22-partner eFTI4EU consortium spanning 9 member states), and enterprise logistics customers such as Rimi Baltic, Tallink, PROLOG and Atv-Transport, alongside adjacent users like Food Bank Estonia (Toidupank). Revenue is generated through five commercial streams: European Affairs consultancy, digital logistics software solutions (subscription/recurring), digitalization and transformation services, training programs, and applied research.\n\nThe firm is privately held and founder-controlled (Heiti Mering, Founder/CEO), with a disclosed team of five people. Its go-to-market blends direct enterprise and government engagement, event participation (e.g., GITEX 2023 Dubai), and academic and community programmes such as the Innovation Club with Tallinn Technical University of Applied Sciences. DLK signed the €28.3 million eFTI4EU grant with CINEA in October 2023 and launched the follow-on eFTI4ALL project in 2024, positioning the firm for the Q2 2026 eFTI mandate.
