GIGATON / Company
Since 1996, GIGATON has been developing warehouse management systems that make complex logistics processes monitorable and controllable. A passion that developed into art, shaping currently the third generation of LogoS WMS. The leitmotif “The Art of WMS” runs like a red thread through the 25-year history of GIGATON and describes precisely the sophisticated interplay of ability and intuition, of perception and imagination, of qualification and technology, of infrastructure and application that made the pioneering product LogoS Enterprise one of the most sought-after warehouse management systems. Today, logistics service providers, industry, wholesaler and retailer groups in Germany, Austria and Switzerland put their trust in “The Art of WMS made by GIGATON”.
Today, more than 60 employees are in charge of developing the software, integrating new modules for controlling digital storage technology, professional consulting services and customer-oriented project management.
When implementing LogoS, GIGATON customers can also rely on cloud computing solutions that meet the requirements of modern warehouse, multichannel and production logistics. Furthermore, GIGATON stands up for an integrated quality management to ensure that the entire service portfolio is continuously checked by independent institutes. Audits and internal process transparency is best practice and a compelling standard for the successful implementation of WMS projects.

The creative minds of the software development department deal with the customization of LogoS standards and add-ons.
