Time to share what I've been building 👋 Sometimes silence means creation - and I am very excited now to share two projects that have been keeping me quite busy: 🐡 How much is the fish - Helping e-commerce companies to optimize their pricing The story begins with my Co-Founder Luisa Thiele searching for a reliable price comparison tool during a consulting project. Like many others, she ran into a common frustration: existing solutions struggled with comparing similar products from different manufacturers, and the available tools fell short in terms of user-friendliness, data quality, and reliability. That's why we decided to build something better. 🐡 How much is the fish is our answer to these challenges - a platform that collects precise, up-to-date price data and helps companies understand their market position. We're building it with a clear vision: to become your go-to tool for e-commerce competitive intelligence and pricing optimization. ⚡ Schöll GmbH - Where digital products & business strategy meet In parallel, I've started a consulting practice that combines my passion for digital products and smart business strategies. What makes us different? We speak both business and tech - from initial business ideas through product management to code implementation. We're here to help you with: 🎯 Digital strategy & Operational excellence 👨‍🚀 Product management support 🚀 Custom software solutions & MVP launches Our approach is simple: we combine strategy, hands-on implementation experience, and technical knowledge to turn digital ideas into reality. Think of us as your sparring partner for bringing digital visions to life. 🤝 Let's connect Whether you're navigating e-commerce pricing challenges or exploring ways to strengthen your digital strategy or to bring that MVP idea to life - I'd love to hear your story. The best solutions often come from great conversations. Curious about either venture? Let's grab a virtual coffee and exchange ideas.

"Not another app" With the GoLive of passify at the Container Terminal Burchardkai—the largest container terminal of HHLA Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG here in Hamburg—we have marked another significant milestone. One thing I realized during our conversations with truckers was that they were quite happy to now be able to use the same application at an additional terminal as well. During our first GoLive, we often heard complaints about us introducing yet another app. Especially for truckers, who might not always be tech-savvy, this standardization can bring huge benefits. Using the same application across multiple, diverse logistics hubs simplifies their work, reduces language barriers, and provides clear routing and instructions in unfamiliar surroundings. Moreover, these applications prepare truckers for a future without fossil fuels, as charging and hydrogen stations not only require protection but also slot booking—handled by the trucker themselves, rather than the dispatcher. The downside of the current situation is that there is no clear dominant player in the market. Until one emerges, truckers will unfortunately have to navigate through a handful of different solutions. To all the logistics, trucking, and transport enthusiasts out there: What are your thoughts on this? Did I miss something?

🚀 Super happy with our Smart City case and our collaboration with WienBox, a citywide project in Vienna! Almost 200 myflexboxes in Vienna and its surroundings are a great achievement for everyone who helped building it! And there’s so many supporters 🙏 on all levels. Thank you Florian Hanglberger, Nadine Adensam and Peter Hollos for showing the power of partnership in the video below and bringing in your energy! I still remember the first myflexbox we installed in this amazing city and how crucial it was for us to "land" there. Being a pioneer in a new field that evolves into a leadership role due to the urgent need for inclusive, neutral networks has been an incredible learning journey. 🌍We are still - and always will be - on our path of continuous learning. However, one consistent theme remains in both national networks and every city we expand to: the importance of staying as neutral as possible to push for the maximum network quality for an entire city and all it’s users. #SmartCity #Innovation #Collaboration #LearningJourney #InclusiveNetworks #Neutrality #UrbanDevelopment

Centralized vs. Dezentralized - how to build a successful AI organization. During the last months, my colleague Dr. Bernd Peper and I discussed how to build a successful #ai #organization. We found that there is no blueprint for non-IT-Tech companies in Germany. You can find organizational models such as hub and spoke, completely decentralized as well as centralized ones. However, none of these stood out in contrast to the others. At #DBFernverkehr we decided to build a central AI unit to scale this technology with limited resources but with highest impact possible. Today, our AI Competence Center coordinates medium and long-term AI strategy with the boards. Central prioritization enables us to set clear priorities on which areas to focus as well as establishing standards to scale AI technologies. At the same time, the competence center establishes a link to the business departments and ensures connect to real-world problems while implementing AI solutions. In our whitepaper we give insights in our thoughts and experiences at DB Fernverkehr (https://lnkd.in/eTwSiQxJ). What’s your experience on how to build a successful AI organization? If you like to get more insights, you can also follow our talk at 10. Zukunftskongress (Best Practice Dialog III.B4) in Berlin.

🚊⬇️ First time being below a subway station And then for such a cool event as the Evening Reception for the Urban Innovation Forum organized by the Climate Tech Hub Berlin. Always fun discussing Urban Innovation challenges with ambitious Start-ups, Scientists and VCs. 🤯 Topics ranged from how cities should be redesigned, what policies we need to even very practical solutions for sustainable fuels, digital city twins for mobility optimization and why COLD district heating should be the future of heating. Thanks Haris Rehman for always thinking of me with those events and taking me there! Make sure to put the actual Urban Innovation Forum into your calendar! #urbaninnovation #mobility #berlin

The best part of work is always at the terminals. Yesterday at the HHLA Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG Container Terminal Tollerort. Supporting the incredible works of founders Marcel Wiegand and Nico Marks and their exciting venture passify that secures and automates gate processes. The roll-out was a blast. Speaking with hundreds of truck drivers all day long and showing them the easiness of the gate process via smartphone App. This is another great example why founders who have years of terminal work experiences make the difference when it comes to gate integration, process knowledge and smooth software roll-outs. And this is just the start. passify simplifies and streamlines the access management process for both truck drivers and facility operators, while providing real-time information on pick-up and delivery availability. Definitely a startup to watch on an exciting growth path. #smartport #terminalaccess #startup #truck #gateprocess

Public transport pricing, ticketing channels and punctuality are all tied. The region of Vorarlberg in Austria wants to reduce ticket sales by bus drivers. To do so, it will add a 50 cent premium to tickets purchased from the driver. In addition, it will reward loyalty with volume discounts: - Travel on 4 different days in the month: get 5% on all trips - Travel on 8 different days in the month: get 10% on all trips - Travel on 12 different days in the month: get 30% on all trips. The discount is obtained as a credit usable the following month, thus encouraging a "virtuous circle" of public transport use. https://lnkd.in/ea8iW-Mn

Is quick commerce dead? Think again! After the initial hype and subsequent cooling-off period, quick commerce is finding its sustainable path with new, robust business models. Take a look at the recent example from REWE and Lieferando in Germany. REWE is now offering over 3,000 products via Lieferando, delivering directly to your doorstep in under 45 minutes! For orders above 69 euros, delivery is even free. Launching in 40+ cities, this service is available from Monday to Saturday, 7:30 AM to 11:30 PM. What’s fascinating? Deliveries are handled by Flink’s bicycle couriers, a company in which Rewe holds a 12% stake. This partnership is a prime example of how quick commerce is evolving, focusing on efficiency, strategic collaboration, and customer convenience. The future of quick commerce is here—leaner, smarter, and sustainable. #QuickCommerce #Innovation #BusinessModel #Sustainability #Rewe #Lieferando #ECommerce #retail #transformation #partnerships #ondemand #qcommerce

🚀 Dive into the future of logistics with Gardiner von Trapp, our Analytics & Data Science Product Manager at Alpega Group! 📊 In an exclusive interview with Konradin Mediengruppe, he spills the beans on how AI is supercharging the industry. 🔍 According to Gardiner, investing in Transportation Management Systems (TMS) is the key to staying ahead in logistics. But here's the game-changer: integrating AI takes things to a whole new level. It's not just about meeting customer demands anymore; it's about exceeding them! 💡 AI isn't just a buzzword—it's a powerhouse that automates tasks, optimizes warehouses and predicts future trends. Imagine having a crystal ball for your supply chain! With AI, TMS can harness historical data to make spot-on predictions and revolutionize supplier management. 📈 But here's the catch: to unleash AI's full potential, you need top-notch data from every nook and cranny of your supply chain. It's all about quality and quantity! And remember, AI isn't here to steal jobs—it's here to enhance them. Human expertise is irreplaceable, and finding the perfect balance between AI and human know-how is the real game-changer. 🌟 Ready to turbocharge your logistics with AI? Buckle up and join Gardiner von Trapp on this thrilling journey into the future of transportation!

🇩🇪 #GERMANY - What´s the #PLAN #B ?! After seeing the most recent figures, it is clear … that already in pre-pandemic years German production started to see #red numbers. Now it is 6 years without any solid, positive #growth. All the original 3 ingredients of success (cheap #energy from Russia + moving #labor to CEE + #selling to #China) are gone. So the question bids itself: What is the the plan B, Germany ?

Below post by Mirko Novakovic summarizes how to found an LLC in #germany - approx 2.5 months later you’re done. I have had the same experience while being there in the past two years. To compare the process with UAE: # everything is ONLINE # single counter approach # neobank account opening via app fixed the old account opening issues # online KYC process Literally writhin 8 days my entire process was done at much less cost than in Berlin for instance. German politicians have been discussing this issue for the past 20+ years - nothing changed! One of the reasons why Europe fell behind. Follow me for more Europe bashing and MENA hyping ;-)
