Comtrade Fast Forward: Logistics Software Built in Europe for Europe

The Comtrade Fast Forward team brings over 15 years of experience developing advanced WMS, WES, WCS, FMS, and material flow controllers for leading European logistics companies. We know how to build quality software, adapt existing systems, manage commissioning, and provide hyper-care – and we’ve done it successfully for more than 15 years.

But our greatest value goes beyond software development. It’s what we’ve learned along the way: a deep understanding of European logistics—its environments, culture, methodologies, and legislative frameworks, both current and future.

We have a proven track record of integrating automation equipment such as AGVs and AMRs into fully functional warehouse solutions that meet all functional and non-functional requirements – and are built to last. We’ve also adapted software from non-European vendors for successful deployment in Europe.

This makes us the go-to software provider for complex warehouse automation projects, covering integration, commissioning, and hyper-care, with a focus on efficiency and compliance with current and future regulations.

Drawing on our experience, we identify opportunities to make logistics projects more effective. That’s why we developed VDA5050 behavioural testing software, which shortens commissioning involving VDA5050 AGVs and AMRs by running behavioural tests of fleet controllers and robots during development rather than during commissioning. We also built a commissioning management system designed specifically for warehouses and sortatio centres. It provides a unified overview of commissioning, management, and tracking, along with tools to automate commissioning in locked-down environments – where most of our clients operate.

In AI, we align with NVIDIA and Microsoft approaches and patterns, designing both custom models for tasks such as anomaly detection and quality control, and LLM integrations with use case-specific knowledge and tooling. We have pioneered implementations in this field, including the design of copilots over legacy systems.

If you’re looking for logistics software for the 21st century – focused on Europe with a global footprint, and ready for the most complex logistics projects – that’s what we provide.
