Transportation & Logistics

For smooth supply chains

The expansion of international trade relations has lead to a logistics boom – on land, by sea and in the air. The globally networked supply systems in particular are controlled by IT systems. Through management consultancy and the full range of software testing and quality management, SQS ensures that it is possible to run through the supply chains smoothly and that logistics companies can save cash.

SQS has extensive knowledge of the logistics industry and can therefore provide customers with the best possible support: be it for protection of sensitive data, the implementation of reservation systems, the reduction of storage times or the return of a car rental company’s vehicles to their starting location. In addition, SQS also brings data integrity and security up to the level required by the legislator and ensures that business processes don’t come to a standstill even if the transport routes are interrupted. SQS likewise guarantees that websites remain fully accessible even during periods of extremely high demand caused by extreme weather conditions, such as those caused by the Icelandic ash cloud or during periods of heavy snowfall.

For Hamburger Hafen und Lagerhaus AG (HHLA), for example, SQS developed an operating concept which not only guarantees the smooth interaction of different systems but also optimal project controllability.

In this project, the specific services were:

Development of a test methodology that accompanies and supports incremental software development
Methodical support for the entire test process
Formation of a team of up to 35 testers
Transfer of methodical test know-how to HHLA employees
Introduction of cost estimation and planning procedures
Creation of a documentation, analysis and prediction in error management
Automation of the application tests through the development of suitable tools

The customer now benefits from the following advantages:

Successful automation of the sea and land-based container handling
Time and cost savings through test automation
Exact advance estimates of development and test costs were possible
Consistently high quality of applications
Early testing of technical specifications means the software development starts at a high level
Further training of employees into test specialists
