SCALA is a high-performance logistics tool designed to provide convenient freight cost simulation and freight cost analysis, developed by Staedtler-Logistics. SCALA is indispensable for shippers, forwarders and logistics consultants in the area for tendering and simulation.

Extrapolation of historical data into the future discloses a significantly more detailed approach to strategy planners and thus, better evaluation options than the static view of actual values.

How much rationalization potential in freight purchase, location selection and flow of goods have you, as a shipper, left unused to date? How should your company react to future changes in the field of logistics? Are alternatives offered? Are forwarder changes, relocation, adjustment of delivery structure, or new transport routes beneficial? As a forwarder, would you like to properly evaluate inquiries for proposal creation and not rely on approximated values and inexact guesses any longer?

SCALA simulates the effects of user-defined scenarios, supporting strategic and tactical planning processes.

Result data evaluation with Staedtler-Logistics' tool SP/2 is especially effective. This statistic tool is included in SCALA’s range of services. Complex simulation results may be consolidated, processed and visualized in charts with just a few mouse clicks for fast, simple, and dependable interpretation.
