Editorial Magazine LAGERflaeche 02/2014

Dear readers

in this issue of our new magazine, we would like to inform you about current trends in the logistics industry in general as well as in the field of logistics property and warehouse logistics.

The review of the LogiMAT 2014 trade fair in Stuttgart is a particular focus. We can state that the concept of LAGERflaeche.de - a joint stand of companies whose offerings complement each other perfectly - was extremely well received. We will continue to develop it and will be present at future logistics trade fairs (especially transport logistic 2015) on a much larger scale.

But this is just one aspect of the further development of the LAGERflaeche.de offering. We offer you genuine multi-channel marketing on numerous platforms: in addition to organising trade fair activities, we also offer this via our current platform www.LAGERflaeche.de and other portals as well as in numerous newspapers and trade journals (editorial, advertisements, inserts). This trimodal marketing strategy of online, print and trade fair appearances gives you the greatest possible public presence and the greatest possible market penetration.

LAGERflaeche.de is therefore a unique integrated platform for logistics property, project development, contract logistics and intralogistics. It creates sustainable interdependencies and networking options and enables the utilisation of numerous efficient synergies. In order to further increase the usefulness and added value of our platform, we will integrate additional features and options in the current year to meet the changing needs of users.

These include

• a customer segment-specific presentation of properties and services
• new and expanded sections, for example on the topics of project development and business development
• the development and realisation of benchmarks
• sector-orientated online solutions, for example for food logistics, hazardous goods logistics and other segments of the logistics industry as well as for construction and building materials logistics
• Consultancy services for warehouse solutions, logistics and real estate.

Our aim is to meet customers where their activities are focussed, for example in the construction sector, in business with China or in the Anuga environment. We also develop innovative business models for tenders and requests. In this way, we pass on our many years of experience in areas such as warehouse concepts, contract logistics tenders, warehouse planning, warehouse benchmarking, etc. to you as a customer.

We will therefore continue to expand our range of services in the future and make them more attractive, always with the customer's wishes in mind. If you have your own ideas and suggestions or need support with a project, simply contact us. We look forward to open discussions with you.

Now I hope you enjoy reading our magazine.
