leogistics founds leoquantum GmbH

leogistics GmbH, a driver of the future of supply chain management, has established a new software company, leoquantum GmbH, as of January 1, 2023. This company will focus on the go-to-market strategy and further development of the Process-as-a-Service platform myleo / dsc. André Käber will be the managing director of the spin-off. leoquantum GmbH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Materna Group.

(Hamburg) The aim of the spin-off is to sharpen the profiles of both organizations – leoquantum and leogistics – so that both can focus more on their respective core businesses and the needs of their customers. “We are noticing the high demand from our customers for simple and convenient logistics solutions. With the reorganization of myleo / dsc as an independent company under the name leoquantum GmbH, we can meet this demand even better in the future,” says André Käber, CEO of leoquantum GmbH and founder of myleo / dsc. leogistics will increasingly focus on consulting and service business to better support customers in their SAP S/4HANA transformation.

leoquantum aims to define the future of supply chain management

The myleo / dsc is an innovative Process-as-a-Service platform for factory and transport logistics that connects shippers, suppliers, logistics service providers, and goods recipients. Since its founding in 2018, the team behind myleo / dsc has formed its own department and business unit within leogistics GmbH. However, the product business and the associated services have long since outgrown the parent company leogistics and are to stand on their own from now on. The spin-off now focuses on the further development of the product, avoids resource conflicts with the SAP project business of leogistics GmbH, and opens up the opportunity to position myleo / dsc as an independent brand and standard solution for factory and transport logistics processes.

Furthermore, the achieved investment size of myleo / dsc in the double-digit millions now requires more flexibility in future design. The spin-off creates new options, e.g., for future sales and technology partnerships. The Materna Group is the sole owner of the new leoquantum GmbH.

“With myleo / dsc, we position ourselves in the market for innovative logistics software and cloud solutions and make our Digital Industry Solutions even more attractive for our industrial customers,” says Martin Wibbe, CEO of the Materna Group.

Creating new synergies in SAP consulting

The step of the spin-off also opens up the possibility for leogistics to get even closer to the parent company cbs Corporate Business Solutions Unternehmensberatung GmbH. Especially in light of the SAP S/4HANA transformation, which is currently a concern for many existing and potential customers, there is a significant thematic proximity. In this context, Rainer Wittwen and Stefan and Risse from the management of cbs will become new managing directors of leogistics GmbH. They will be supported by Christiaan Carstens, who will continue to lead the operational SAP business as a member of the management.

In the past, there have been many joint implementation projects where leogistics acted as the premium logistics consultancy for cbs. The focus on the SAP business is thus a next logical step in the joint strategic goal alignment of Materna, cbs, and leogistics, through which the group can advise all business process areas from a single source. The closer collaboration between leogistics and cbs, as well as the entire corporate group, will result in many sales synergy effects.
