Röhlig Penske Logistics optimises control tower environment with solution from ICT Logistics

Bremen, 23 June 2025 - Röhlig Penske Logistics, the joint venture between Röhlig Logistics and Penske Logistics, has teamed up with ICT Logistics – a company of the ICT Group – to introduce a new, integrated control tower platform. The innovative system replaces a previously fragmented IT landscape and enables the logistics service provider to support its growing customer base in Europe even more effectively.

The new control tower platform was commissioned by Röhlig Penske Logistics and is based on the software solution ICT Logistics, part of ICT Group. It replaces the US management system Clearchain, previously used by Penske Logistics. This change will further integrate Röhlig Penske Logistics into the global IT infrastructure of Röhlig Logistics. The new solution enables seamless connection to existing systems and processes within the Röhlig Group, reduces dependence on external service providers and creates the basis for a uniform, scalable and future-proof system architecture.

ICT Logistics, part of ICT Group, combines all transport management functions on a single digital platform – from dispatch planning and carrier selection to real-time monitoring and automated billing. “The new control tower system increases transparency, efficiency and controllability – both internally and for our customers,” explains Rob Clarijs, Supply Chain Manager at Röhlig Penske Logistics. “This solution forms the basis for future growth, both for our customer base and for our service portfolio.”

The platform integrates transport planning and self-billing functions, making transport processes more accurate and cost-efficient. Transport orders are paperless and can be calculated, checked and approved by carriers automatically based on data. This improves collaboration and prevents billing discrepancies. The self-billing module significantly reduces administrative effort while offering full cost transparency for both sides.

With a total of 75,000 square metres of warehouse space in the Netherlands and Germany and customers from industries including white goods, chemicals, healthcare and automotive, Röhlig Penske Logistics manages complex transport flows throughout Europe.

The modernised control tower makes it possible to bundle transport flows from different locations and to find the optimal transport solution needed – whether by road, rail, short sea shipping or inland waterway.

“This joint solution gives us the flexibility we need to implement customer-specific logistics strategies while complying with international standards,“ adds Clarijs. “Together with ICT Logistics, we are already working on the next features – this time with a special focus on sustainability and resilience in the supply chain.”
