Posted on 20 July, 202620 July, 2026 by David Priestman

Intelligent Supply Chain Execution specialist Infios has announced that vaibe will join the Infios suite of solutions, advancing warehouse performance through the combined power of technology and people. vaibe, a gamification platform designed for warehouse environments, uses game mechanics to increase frontline engagement, motivation and productivity, and will strengthen the Infios portfolio with its workforce performance capabilities.

Originally developed through Körber’s internal digital innovation process, vaibe has evolved into a differentiated solution that addresses the critical human dimension of supply chain operations. Now joining Infios—a joint venture of global technology company Körber and global investment firm KKR — vaibe further strengthens the company’s ability to deliver measurable improvements in both workforce engagement and operational productivity.

“vaibe brings a highly practical dimension to how we think about performance in the warehouse,” said Eugene Amigud, Chief Innovation Officer at Infios. “It strengthens our ability to connect system intelligence with day-to-day execution, helping customers drive better outcomes not just through technology, but through how work actually happens.”

“From a technology perspective, vaibe was designed to integrate seamlessly into warehouse workflows while delivering real-time feedback that drives behavior,” said Tiago Sottomayer, Chief Technology Officer at vaibe. “Becoming part of Infios allows us to scale that architecture, embed deeper into operational ecosystems and accelerate how data translates into meaningful action on the floor.”

This integration reflects a shared commitment to purposeful innovation, leveraging technology to make supply chains more efficient, agile, and intelligent. Together, Infios and vaibe will help organisations strengthen the connection between frontline workforce engagement and measurable business outcomes across the supply chain.

“vaibe started with a clear focus — make work on the warehouse floor more engaging and impactful,” said Nick Retzmann, Chief Growth & Product Officer at vaibe. “Joining Infios gives us the opportunity to expand that mission globally and bring those benefits to many more customers.”

The announcement marks the next stage in vaibe’s evolution—from internal innovation initiative to an established solution within the Infios portfolio—further strengthening Infios’s commitment to modern, human-centered supply chain operations.

B2B platform for on-the-road payments and solutions, DKV, is acquiring a majority stake in tolltickets GmbH, a certified provider of European toll solutions headquartered in Rosenheim, Germany. Through this acquisition, DKV Mobility expands its European toll business and gains access to Tolltickets’ platform for the European Electronic Toll Service (EETS). EETS is the Europe-wide standard that allows road tolls in many countries to be settled with a single on-board unit. DKV Mobility is acquiring the shares from Kapsch TrafficCom AG, which will retain a minority stake in the company. Tolltickets will continue to operate as an independent company.

Sebastian Klauke, CEO of DKV Mobility, says:

“Our toll business is a key building block of our integrated mobility platform. With a majority stake in Tolltickets, we are securing a strong long-term position in the European EETS market, gaining greater scope to actively shape its development, and consistently continuing our growth course.”

DKV Mobility is expanding its position as an integrated mobility platform, giving customers access to essential fleet-related services across Europe from a single source. Its toll business is one of the strategic core areas of this platform.

Georg Kapsch, CEO of Kapsch TrafficCom AG, says: “For over a decade, we have been invested in Tolltickets and watched it grow remarkably. DKV Mobility is exactly the right partner to take the company to the next level, combining Tolltickets’ technology with the scale needed to grow across Europe. We remain committed to supporting its continued success.”

Jérôme Lejeune, Managing Director at DKV Mobility responsible for Toll & Refund Services, adds: “We have been working successfully with Tolltickets as a sales partner for many years. With this strategic partnership, we are now taking the next step and deepening our collaboration in the European toll business. Our customers will benefit from this step as we will be able to provide our toll solutions across Europe even more reliably and flexibly in the future.”

Quentin Couret, Managing Director of Tolltickets, comments:

“With DKV Mobility, we are strengthening a partnership that has been built over many years – bringing together our experience in the toll business and their large, Europe-wide customer base. As an independent company, this gives us the momentum we need to keep growing and to make our technology accessible to even more customers.”

Tolltickets was founded in 2007, is headquartered in Rosenheim, Germany, and employs around 60 people. The company is one of the leading certified EETS providers. Tolltickets offers its own on-board units as well as vignettes and gives customers access to toll systems in 15 European countries through a single solution. More than 100,000 vehicles are managed via its platform. The company serves both business customers and private customers through its online shop.

The closing of transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected until the end of the year.

How to Scale Faster with Turnkey Warehousing – Podcast

Posted on 20 July, 202617 July, 2026 by Will Priestman

Warehousing has become one of the fastest-evolving sectors in logistics. The growth of e-commerce, increasing customer expectations, labour shortages, automation, decarbonisation and rising energy demands are forcing businesses to rethink what a distribution centre needs to deliver—not just today, but decades into the future.

Modern warehouses are no longer simply places to store inventory. They’re becoming highly connected, energy-efficient operational hubs, designed to support robotics, AI-driven fulfilment, electric vehicle fleets and increasingly complex supply chains. At the same time, developers and occupiers face mounting pressure to improve sustainability, future-proof investments and create facilities that can adapt as technology continues to evolve.

Recorded live at Multimodal 2026, this episode of Logistics Business Conversations explores these challenges with Prologis experts Danny Bostock and James Henstock. Together, they discuss how warehouse design is changing to meet the needs of modern logistics, from reducing the time between signing a lease and receiving the first pallet, to ensuring buildings have the power capacity, flexibility and digital infrastructure to support future automation.

The conversation also examines why energy security has become one of the sector’s biggest challenges, how solar generation and EV infrastructure are reshaping warehouse developments, and why the industry’s focus now extends far beyond the building itself to include employee wellbeing, transport connectivity and long-term resilience.

Whether you’re an occupier planning your next facility, a property professional, or simply interested in where the logistics industry is heading, this episode offers valuable insight into the trends that will define the next generation of supply chains.

Listen to the full episode below to discover how today’s warehouse decisions are shaping the future of logistics.
