December 3, 2025 - Loady's new position paper analyzes the current situation with fragmented data and demonstrates how structured previous load restriction data can improve inspection processes in the chemical, feed, and food industries, leading to gains in efficiency and sustainability.
Unified data model replaces manual checks.
Loady structures previous load restrictions within a chemically and logistically consistent data model. Each substance is uniquely identified by CAS and EC numbers, synonyms, and multilingual designations. Rules can be defined at the substance or group level and return clear statuses. Companies manage their restrictions centrally in Loady and can import existing lists in a structured manner. The platform offers API interfaces for synchronization with ERP and QHSE systems, as well as export functionalities. The use of structured previous load restriction data reduces manual inspection efforts by up to 80%, prevents rejections through valid dispatching, and lowers CO₂ emissions by reducing multiple trips and unnecessary cleanings.
The solution is used at three levels: Dispatchers, shippers, and cleaning companies check whether product combinations are permissible and which cleaning procedures are required. Forwarders and shippers perform structured Previous Load Restriction Checks (ePLR) by entering up to five previous loads and immediately receiving validated results. Pilot customers integrate the ePLR logic into transport and yard management systems for automatic checks before dispatch or gate release.
Future integration into electronic cleaning certificates
Loady is working on integrating the ePLR logic into electronic cleaning certificates such as ECLIC's eECD or Bulkvision certificates. In the future, cleaning certificates could be automatically checked against valid previous load restrictions – the cleaning station transmits the previous product and cleaning code, Loady validates the information and records the inspection result directly in the certificate.

Strategic Partnership: Cargoclix and Loady partner on logistics data and process integration
· The Mannheim-based startup Loady and software provider Cargoclix will link their systems in the future to more closely integrate master data and operational logistics processes.
· The topic of time slot management was the starting point for the joint discussions.
Freiburg i.Br./ Mannheim, July 8, 2026. The Mannheim-based startup Loady and Freiburg im Breisgau-based software provider Cargoclix will cooperate in the future as part of a strategic partnership to link logistics data and operational processes along the supply chain. Today, companies already use Loady to digitally exchange logistics requirements for over 20,000 products, 500 locations, and delivery information from over 50,000 business partners with their transport partners. Cargoclix brings over 25 years of experience in digitizing operational logistics processes and currently has over 200,000 users and more than 3,000 customer locations worldwide. The company's portfolio includes time slot management, digital driver and site processes, as well as transport and tender management.
The discussions between the two companies began with the topic of time slot booking. Further exchanges revealed that the commonalities also extend to digital driver processing, site communication, and transport and tender processes.
"Loady creates a unified data basis for logistics requirements, from which our customers can benefit," says Prof. Dr. Victor Meier, advisory partner at Cargoclix. "For time slot, yard, and driver processes, the availability of standardized information reduces queries and delays. We see potential in this for our joint customers," he emphasizes.
For Loady, this collaboration is also a decision against developing its own time slot management solution. "We are regularly asked why Loady doesn't offer its own slot booking," says Stefanie Kraus, CEO and co-founder of Loady. "The answer: providers like Cargoclix have been successfully advancing this topic for many years. Our goal is to make the right solutions accessible to our customers for their processes, instead of duplicating functionality."
Many customers of both companies already use Cargoclix solutions in parallel for transport management, freight procurement, and site handling, as well as Loady for data exchange along the supply chain. Both companies intend to expand their collaboration in the coming months and develop joint integration and application scenarios for their customers.

Roos integrates customer logistics requirements directly into daily transport operations
Germany, June 29, 2026. Roos Spedition is taking the next step in the digitalization of its transport operations. As the first carrier, the company is integrating logistics requirements shared by its customers through Loady directly into its Transport Management System (TMS). The objective is to make critical logistics information available exactly where transport planning and execution take place while reducing dependence on individual know-how and manual communication.
Through Loady's new Carrier API, loading and unloading requirements, site information, equipment specifications, operational instructions, temperature requirements and previous load restrictions become available directly within Roos' operational systems. Whenever customers update their logistics requirements in Loady, the information is automatically updated. Dispatchers and drivers therefore always work with the latest information directly from the source - without media breaks, manual data transfers or additional clarification.
For Roos, the integration is part of a long-term digitalization strategy. The project was initiated after recognizing that important operational information too often depended on individual experience, established routines or decentralized documentation.
"We realized that some of our processes depended too heavily on the knowledge of individual employees," says Marcus Simpson, CAO of Roos Spedition. "That is neither scalable nor future-proof. If information is critical for transport execution, it belongs in the system - not in notebooks, emails or people's heads. By integrating Loady's data directly into our TMS, we are creating a shared information base for dispatchers, drivers and our customers. We were genuinely surprised by how smoothly everything worked. Thanks to the close collaboration and the well-structured API, we were able to see tangible results in our day-to-day operations within a very short time."
Simpson adds: "My hope is that standardized digital logistics requirements will become common practice across our industry. Both industrial companies and logistics service providers will benefit. The less time people spend searching for, interpreting or repeatedly maintaining information, the more efficient, safer and simpler logistics processes become."
The logistics requirements are maintained by the respective customers, who decide which logistics service providers are authorized to access their data through Loady. This ensures that Roos always works with the latest information directly from the source.
The integration comes at a time when the digitalization of site and gate processesin the chemical industry is gaining momentum. Roos is already working on the next stage of integration: Loady's electronic Previous Load Restriction Check (ePLR Check) will also be integrated directly into the carrier's systems.
"What impresses me most is the determination and openness with which Roos is driving this transformation," says Elzbieta Wiankowska, Co-Founder and COO of Loady. "It takes courage to question established ways of working and deliberately choose a different path. Roos understands that digitalization is not just about solving today's challenges. It is about creating the foundation for future growth, better collaboration and long-term competitiveness. This mindset makes the company a true pioneer in our industry."
The partnership between Roos and Loady demonstrates how logistics requirements can be shared directly between shippers and logistics service providers and seamlessly integrated into existing systems - reducing effort, improving data quality and increasing operational safety for everyone involved.

Transforming SAP texts into logistics master data: Loady's new AI-powered solution reduces data onboarding effort by up to 80%
Mannheim, June 11, 2026. For many companies, the digitalization of logistics requirements begins with a tedious task: information from SAP comments, Excel files, emails, and individual customer specifications must first be structured and transferred into a digital data model.
With a new AI-powered onboarding solution, Loady now significantly reduces this effort. Initial projects show that up to 80 percent of existing data sets can be automatically processed and integrated into Loady's standardized structure. Users then only need to review, supplement, and approve the results.
“In many companies, relevant logistics information is fundamentally available – but often incomplete, outdated, inconsistently maintained, or even contradictory. This is precisely where we step in: We reduce the one-time initial effort and help companies work faster with reliable, structured logistics data,” says Elzbieta Wiankowska, co-founder and COO of Loady. “With over 20,000 product data sets and logistics requirements from thousands of real transport processes, we now have the specialized data foundation to automate this task efficiently and with high quality.”
The data prepared in this way remains entirely under the control of its owners. Via standard interfaces, it can then be synchronized with existing ERP, TMS, yard, or telematics systems or driver apps and shared with business partners.
“We see Loady as a universal connector for logistics requirements,” explains Dennis Jantos, co-founder and CTO of Loady. “Logistics operates with a multitude of different systems. Our goal is for information to be available where it is needed, regardless of software boundaries.”
Companies that do not use direct system integration can alternatively provide the information via the multilingual web platform. Smaller and medium-sized freight forwarders particularly benefit from this, as dispatchers and drivers can access current loading and unloading requirements without additional IT projects.
The new onboarding solution is an important component of Loady's AI strategy. AI methods are already being used at various points on the platform to support users in processing and maintaining logistics requirements. In the future, further functions will improve data quality, detect inconsistencies, extract information from documents, and proactively assist users in maintaining logistics master data.
“AI is not an end in itself for us,” says Jantos. “It helps us overcome the biggest hurdle in digitalization: the path from unstructured information to usable data. Data onboarding is an important milestone in this process. In the long term, we want to support companies throughout the entire data lifecycle – from acquisition and quality assurance to automated provision in operational processes.”
With this, Loady aims not only to make logistics requirements digitally available but also to keep them permanently up-to-date, usable across systems, and accessible to all stakeholders along the supply chain.
