"Logistics helps" - this is the motto under which the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics IML has launched the pinboard www.logistik-hilft.de. Companies that need or have available capacities, such as employees or storage space, can find each other there easily and free of charge. Private individuals can also offer their help.
While online stores or delivery services from supermarkets or restaurants, for example, are currently facing unexpected challenges, other companies are having to apply for short-time working or even cease operations completely. This frees up skilled workers and resources that other companies urgently need at the moment.
In order to bring supply and demand together as quickly as possible, Fraunhofer IML has set up the "Logistics helps" pinboard. It enables an uncomplicated exchange of personnel and resources and thus supports the economy and the system-relevant logistics sectors in times of the corona crisis. Companies use the pinboard to indicate the period in which they need vehicles, storage and processing space and transport capacities. They can also find suitable employees by selecting the areas of operation, available weekly hours or qualifications. Private individuals or companies with free capacities offer these on the site and can thus be found by companies or other people. A map of Germany on the pinboard provides an overview of where the advertisers are located.
