TRACE Project

TRACE Introduces Breakthrough Innovations Driving the Future of Smart and Sustainable Logistics

TRACE is unveiling a powerful set of innovations that will redefine how logistics networks operate across Europe and internationally. With advanced AI modules, blockchain-enabled trust, and dynamic infrastructure, TRACE creates a smarter, more efficient, and more resilient logistics ecosystem.

A Smarter Platform for Integrated Logistics

TRACE is building a cutting-edge smart platform designed to seamlessly integrate diverse logistics operations. This platform strengthens the technical and financial management of shared resources, enabling stakeholders to embrace a full synchro-modal approach.

Through a combination of AI-driven optimization and secure blockchain technology, stakeholders can improve performance across key logistics metrics, including costs, emissions, time, and fuel consumption. The result is a more trustworthy, transparent, and efficient logistics environment.

Unlocking New Potential Through Interoperability

Fragmented logistics systems often limit operational efficiency. TRACE responds to this challenge by enhancing interoperability and promoting deeper collaboration across networks.

By enabling fluid, data-driven communication among logistics actors, TRACE opens the door to new business models and better-performing supply chains that can adapt to modern demands.
