TLSI - Técnicas Logísticas, Sistemas e Ingeniería

What TLSI - Técnicas Logísticas, Sistemas e Ingeniería does

TLSI - Técnicas Logísticas, Sistemas e Ingeniería is a privately held Spanish software and consulting firm headquartered in Valencia, founded more than 20 years ago and operating in the warehouse-management and logistics-optimization segment. The company builds, sells, and implements WHALES (Warehouse Handling Application Logistics Engineering System), a modular, cloud-based WMS/SGA that covers reception, location, stock control, picking, expedition, and productivity measurement, and integrates with ERP, TMS, Pick-to-Voice, Pick-to-Light, RFID, AGVs, vertical warehouses, and (via a microservice architecture introduced in 2024) third-party production systems. Specialized extensions include WHALES-APQ for the chemical industry (handling APQ-regulated hazardous goods with H-phrase compatibility and storage constraints) and AI-WHALES, an in-development AI/predictive-analytics layer for order entry, picking, and dispatch optimization funded by a January 2026 AVI grant (INNCAD/2025/1). TLSI employs 27 people and serves a customer base that includes automotive OEMs and tier-one suppliers (Opel, Aktrion, Brose, Denso, Gestamp, IAC, KH, Plastic Omnium), manufacturers (Cecotec, Stadler, Zschimmer), 3PL/postal operators (Correos, AZA, EuroQ, Railsider), and food, distribution, industrial, and services firms, with active project delivery in Spain, Argentina, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Mexico.

The company's revenue model is hybrid and project-based: it sells WHALES subscriptions and license-plus-implementation packages starting at roughly €20,000, pairs software sales with logistics consulting (warehouse layout, method-and-time studies, process re-engineering) and systems integration services, and routes a growing share of new SMB business through its status as a Spanish government "Agente Digitalizador" under the Kit Digital program and the Plan de Recuperación, Transformaci\u00f3n y Resiliencia, which can subsidize up to €20,000 per implementation. GTM motion is enterprise field sales, supported by industry events (Intralogistics VLC 2024, GR-EX, Encaja), association membership (Quimacova in the chemical sector), and inbound via the tlsi.es website and LinkedIn. R&D is partially co-financed by regional innovation grants from the Agencia Valenciana de la Innovación (AVI), specifically projects INNTA2/2021/3 (LNG supply software), INNTA2/2023/3 (SLS Microservicios), and INNCAD/2025/1 (AI-WHALES). The company has no public listing, no disclosed revenue, no M&A activity, no patents, no mobile app, and no published API/SDK; it operates as a founder-led SME under legal entity TECNICAS LOGISTICAS SISTEMAS E INGENIERIA SL.
