HERE Technologies and Siemens Digital Logistics have announced a partnership to integrate HERE Tracking into AX4, Siemens Digital Logistics’ widely deployed transportation management platform. The collaboration delivers a new level of visibility, AI-based predictive ETAs and operational efficiency for shippers, carriers and logistics service providers across inbound and outbound supply chains.

The AX4 platform from Siemens Digital Logistics connects manufacturers, suppliers, logistics partners, and carriers through a single, cloud‑based platform. With HERE’s location technology now integrated with AX4, users gain: 

• Real-time tracking of shipments and assets across multimodal routes.
• Highly precise AI-based ETAs, powered by HERE’s global road network, traffic intelligence and routing algorithms.
• Accurate address normalization and geocoding, minimizing manual corrections, delays and routing errors.
• Optimized planning and execution through enriched spatial data, from pickup request to final delivery.

The integration enhances AX4’s existing strengths in transportation orchestration, including consolidated views for managing inbound and outbound transports, role‑specific dashboards, event management and notifications, automated carrier assignment and mobile workflows. By combining these capabilities with live location signals from HERE Tracking, logistics teams can:

• Detect delays earlier and intervene before they escalate.
• Consolidate shipments more effectively.
• Reduce costs through increased process automation and fewer manual status checks.
• Provide customers and partners with transparent, real‑time updates.

Modern supply chains involve a vast number of suppliers, carriers and third‑party systems. AX4 already integrates partners’ data and systems through an API, web interface or mobile app. The addition of HERE’s location intelligence further strengthens AX4 as a central command center, linking planning and execution with accurate, real‑time transport data.

Emre Akbağ, Global Business Leader at Siemens Digital Logistics, said:

“Integrating HERE Tracking strengthens AX4 with the geospatial precision needed to operate more predictively in volatile supply chains. Our customers now benefit from unmatched end‑to‑end transparency built directly into their transportation workflows.”

Gino Ferru, SVP and General Manager EMEA at HERE Technologies, said:

“Location intelligence is foundational for modern transport execution. Together with Siemens Digital Logistics, we are equipping the industry with the real‑time insights required to improve performance, reduce risk and create more resilient logistics operations.”
