The FUMO® Solutions GmbH specializes in the development and marketing of the compliance management system FUMO®, whose origins as a pure fleet monitoring software date back to 2008.
In early 2017, FUMO® Solutions GmbH was acquired by Springer Fachmedien München GmbH. At the same time, the LEGAL LOGISTICS division of janz akademie, consisting of the products “Fuhrpark Check”, “Verlader Check” and “4PL Check”, was integrated into FUMO® Solutions GmbH. The checks have been renamed and are now offered as FUMO® Compliant Carrier, FUMO® Compliant Shipper and FUMO® Compliant 4PL. In addition to the conventional on-site audits with subsequent certification of the company, the checks are now also offered as an internal audit via the FUMO® Auditor.
The IFS Logistics Standard is designed to assess logistics activities in the food and non-food sectors, including transportation, storage, distribution, loading, and unloading, etc. This standard is versatile and applies to all areas of logistics, such as truck, rail, and maritime transport. It applies to all types of products, regardless of whether they must be transported at freezing temperatures, refrigerated, or unchilled.
The main objective of IFS Logistics is to close the gap between production and trade in order to ensure a comprehensive overview of the entire supply chain. Until now, the movement and storage of goods was considered a weak point in quality assurance. By applying the IFS Logistics standard, this area is now integrated into quality assurance.
