More cost-effective
as a completely new building.
iFD is a medium-sized software company specialising in intralogistics. We do not develop off-the-shelf standard products, nor do we promise solutions that ultimately prove unsustainable.
Instead, we focus on what we have been mastering for many years: logistics software that maps processes clearly, connects systems effectively and operates reliably in day-to-day use.
We work for companies that want to develop their intralogistics in a structured way – not for quick fixes, but for sustainable solutions.
Intralogistics does not consist of individual modules, but of a coordinated system.
That is why iFD GmbH combines software, control systems and operations.
1. Software
Centralised systems for warehouse management, material flow control and process management – modular in design and seamlessly integrated.
2. Control
Secure integration of automated and manual areas, conveyor technology, forklifts and peripherals.
3. Support
Long-term operational support: assistance, further development and adaptation to new requirements.
iFD does not view intralogistics as a collection of separate tools, but as an integrated system. Our products form part of a shared platform – designed to seamlessly connect data, processes and control.
Warehouse management forms the data and process layer of intralogistics. It provides transparency regarding stock levels, orders and workflows throughout the entire system.
The material flow control system coordinates the physical flow of goods. It integrates conveyor technology, shuttle systems and processes to ensure a smooth workflow.
The forklift guidance system controls vehicle-based transport within the warehouse. It optimises routes, allocates orders and integrates forklifts into the overall control system.
From the initial concept through to implementation, operation and further development: iFD supports systems over the long term and remains your point of contact even after the project has been completed.
iFD sees itself not merely as a software provider, but as a service provider responsible for the entire lifecycle of an intralogistics solution. Our services are not merely an add-on to the One Platform – they are an integral part of our service offering.
Using data-driven simulation, we analyse processes and develop robust concepts for high-performance, future-proof intralogistics solutions.
Existing systems are being modernised and expanded. New functions and optimised processes boost performance and future-proof the systems.
We support your systems from commissioning right through to day-to-day operation. Support, maintenance and further development ensure stable processes in everyday use.
Intralogistics systems evolve over the years – requirements change and technology advances. iFD helps companies to modernise existing systems in a targeted manner, rather than replacing them entirely. Through retrofitting and further development, we integrate new functions, optimise processes and incorporate existing technology in a meaningful way. This ensures that intralogistics solutions remain efficient, cost-effective and future-proof – based on the existing structure.
Every intralogistics project presents its own set of challenges. In these customer testimonials, companies describe their initial situation, the specific challenges they faced – and how iFD worked with them to develop a suitable solution. Not a one-size-fits-all approach, but a bespoke solution that works in day-to-day operations.
A leading food manufacturer is currently modernising its automated cold store at a site in the Netherlands, relying on our latest software solution, WarehousePilot 7.0. The company has been in business since the 1990s; it started out as a family business and now produces frozen baked goods on highly automated production lines with several hundred employees.

The new warehouse management system has now been in live operation at our client Zurbrüggen Wohnzentrum GmbH for a year – and the results could hardly have been more positive. Following a smooth implementation, the solution has been running stably without any issues ever since. The system has proven its worth particularly during periods of high demand.
Under the motto “Passion for Details – Discover the Difference”, international exhibitors will once again meet decision-makers from industry, retail and the service sector in Stuttgart from 24 to 26 March 2026 to showcase the latest trends and developments in logistics. During this time, the iFD team will be on hand at our usual location in Hall 4 (Stand 4F80) to answer your questions, provide detailed information and give personal demonstrations of the iFD software.
