2022: Development of a logistics platform based on VK Cloud Solutions and implementation in Lorus SCM

logijet and VK on July 22, 2022 announced the development of a digital logistics platform based on cloud services VK Cloud Solutions. The solution allows you to automate processes and develop logistics as a service (LaaS - Logistics as a Service). The platform helps with minimal investment to digitize cargo delivery processes for cargo owners and reduce labor costs at all stages of transportation.

The service already uses the digital forwarder Lorus SCM in its logistics processes. In the future, other participants in the freight market will be able to join the solution.

The cloud platform integrates logijet logistics services and enterprise IT systems, including financial tools, document management solutions, and CRM bases to manage customer experience. A single system allows you to ensure the reliability and relevance of data, update information in real time and quickly provide access to it to company employees and platform users.

"The decision to introduce the platform into our processes gives good results: in 2021 alone, we managed to reduce the main costs of organizing and supporting cargo transportation by 15%, and increase the level of forwarding agent service to 97.5%. Here, in logistics, cloud services provide the most important thing: accessibility, speed and transparency, "said Nikolai Sobolev, CEO of Lorus SCM.

The solution helps to plan and monitor cargo transportation, develop optimal routes taking into account different types of transport, maintain document flow and automate a number of other processes. By digitalizing all key processes, carriers, customers and contractors get timely access to all tools. This approach not only improves the quality of customer experience, but also reduces the burden on employees and the risks of human error.

"Our partnership with logijet IT has reached a whole new level. First, the developer solved his own problems using the VK Cloud Solutions cloud platform: he created a TMS system for automating transport logistics. Now, thanks to the use of ready-made cloud services, the company was able to create a commercial product faster and begins to monetize its expertise on the open market, "said Leonid Anikin, Development Director of VK Cloud Solutions.

The platform is based on VK Cloud Solutions services: managed, and databases PostgreSQL MongoDB , Redis as Kubernetes a service,,, backup S3 Object Storage Anti technologies DDoS and others.

"VK Cloud Solutions has everything that we need in terms of infrastructure in the face of constant load growth, needs for scaling and expanding functionality," said logijet CEO Rustem Iskakov. "Logistics as a Service, based on VK cloud technologies, has already proven itself well in the work of the digital forwarder Lorus SCM and will definitely be appreciated by other participants in the freight market."
