Die Geschichte von LOGWAY Informatik AG.

1980
Foundation of IPTA (spin-off TU Darmstadt)

The Institute for Physical and Technical Application Research IPTA was founded by professors from the Technical University of Darmstadt. At that time as a pioneer for warehouse automation, warehouse management software and data transmission via infrared, we have carried out various projects with many industrial companies such as Migros, Coop or Roche.

2001
Foundation of LOGWAY Informatik AG

Founded by the then CEO of IPTA Jörg Müller on September 10, 2001, in order to be able to operate as a completely independent company on the Swiss market. LOGWAY Informatik AG has been family-owned since its foundation and operates without external financing from investors.

2009
Company headquarters moved from Mägenwil to Zurich

Our move to Technopark Zurich marks another milestone in our successful company history. This puts our company at the heart of technology innovation.

2011
Publication of iCOSS

iCOSS 7 comes onto the market as a further development of COSS 5. Now developed as a complete web solution based on the latest .NET technologies from Microsoft.

2021
Handover of management to 2nd generation

Within a process lasting a good year, the management was successfully passed on to the second generation.

2022
Odoo partnership

In order to keep up with the fast and constantly changing software market, we have decided to enter into a partnership with Odoo. As an internationally networked and broadly positioned company, Odoo develops a very good software product. Successfully putting this into operation for customers is our part of the partnership.




The origins of LOGWAY Informatik AG date back to the 1980s, when the company emerged from the former IPTA AG (Institute for Physical/Technical Contract Research), which itself was launched on the market as a subsidiary of the Technical University of Darmstadt. In the early phase of the company between the 1980s and 2000s, we played a decisive role as pioneers in the field of electronic warehouse management and automation of large industrial warehouses. Initially with infrared data transmission, the system ran on most mid-range (large) computers such as MicroVAX, AS/400, Unix (HP, etc.), but also on IBM-OS/2 to IBM mainframes. The demand for these systems was so great that they were used in various industries and by companies such as Migros, Coop and Roche. 

In 2001, LOGWAY Informatik AG, which was founded by our then founder Mr. Jörg Müller in the Mägenwil business park, began a new chapter in the company's history. Since the beginning, the company has been family-owned and has operated without external financing from investors. Even before LOGWAY Informatik AG was founded, the company already had over 20 years of expertise in the field of digitalization and automation. Coupled with technological progress and advancing digitalization, we have been able to help many customers to consistently digitalize, optimize and automate their processes. In view of digitization, we have set ourselves the goal of bringing companies into the future and thus generating added value for our customers.

After almost 10 years in business, the company decided to take another big step. In 2009, the company moved its headquarters from Mägenwil to the center of Zurich, more precisely to the Technopark Zurich. Thanks to the environment of the new location, the company had access to a broad range of expertise, even outside our own company. With software giants such as Google, Avaloq and Accenture and first-class educational institutions such as ETH Zurich, the University of Zurich and the Zurich Universities of Applied Sciences, the business location of Zurich is ideally suited to providing LOGWAY with a professional foundation for a solid service.

After 20 years, the company management was passed on to the second generation. After the handover of company management, LOGWAY Informatik AG became a business partner with the companyOdoo, which has developed a powerful and fast-growing software platform.
