Am I able to choose my trigger system*?

Logtopus’ system partners offer a wide range of different tools that can communicate with the platform. Plus, the open architecture of the system makes it easy for you to integrate your own tools.

*Trigger systems are sensor-based systems that automatically signal a demand at the point of consumption.

How can demands be captured?

Order logging can be captured directly at the point of consumption via automated systems (trigger systems). In this case, a few ways the message could be triggered are by pressing a button, turning a container, or falling short of a filling quantity.

Can Logtopus be run without a trigger system*?

Although the platform does function autonomously, it is currently not set up for manual triggering of demand messages via the platform alone. However, virtual systems (apps) can also be used as triggers.

What happens with the data created by Logtopus?

The information you create on the platform as well as the data generated as part of operation are stored in Western Europe and are subject to European data protection and security requirements.

Information on data protection can be found in the Privacy policy.

Is my data secure?

We use the latest security technology to secure all data. The IDs used to transmit communication between the trigger systems and the platform reveal no identifying information. The information on the platform is encrypted during transmission using SSL technology. This protects against access by third parties.

Are today’s trigger systems*, such as pushLOG® or turnLOG® compatible with Logtopus?

Yes. The systems are configured remotely and can then easily be integrated into Logtopus.

How current is the data I see on Logtopus?

The transmission frequency of the data can be customized based on the use case. It can be every few hours or essentially real-time.

Can the platform be accessed via mobile device?

There is a version of the platform available for mobile devices, including tablets and smartphones. We are currently working on an app with additional functionality.

Which suppliers can be connected on Logtopus?

With Logtopus, you can use the suppliers available on the platform as well as your own suppliers (internal and external).

What requirements does a supplier have to meet to work with them in Logtopus?

In principle, there is no technical obstacle in the way of connecting any given supplier. The logistical and technical options just have to be investigated to optimize the processes.
