Swiss Post has acquired the logistics software company Eoscop from Balsthal (SO) as of October 4, 2022. With Eoscop, it takes over a long-standing IT partner that was looking for a buyer due to a succession arrangement. With Eoscop, the Post can standardize and further develop its planning software for specific logistics processes.
(Bern/Balsthal) Goods logistics is a growing market, especially considering the increasingly important online trade. Therefore, the Post takes care of the entire logistics from A to Z for many business customers – from machinery manufacturers to online shops. It is not only responsible for the delivery of goods but also offers customs clearance services or assembly services for furniture stores, for example. For these services, the Post needs specialists and know-how, among other things, for planning the various deployments. To improve in this area, the Post has fully acquired the IT company Eoscop as of October 4, 2022. Eoscop develops specific digital applications that are necessary for modern logistics. The company employs 20 staff members in Balsthal (SO), who will be retained.
Software for Transport
Software for customs clearance processing, tools for organizing international transports, or for delivering spare parts to technology companies: Behind every service that the Post offers its business customers is a powerful planning process. In recent years, Eoscop has developed numerous and very specific applications with and for the Post’s goods logistics.
The Post as the Largest Customer
The Post is already the largest customer of Eoscop today. Johannes Cramer, Head of Logistics Services at the Post, is pleased that the logistics software specialist now also belongs completely to the Post organizationally: “Eoscop understands perfectly what we need. We have a long-standing collaboration. With the acquisition, we gain an important tool to standardize our planning software across the entire goods logistics. By having Eoscop’s specialists under one roof, we can also respond even faster to the specific needs of our business customers.”
