During the event, AlmavivA presents its Cloud-based Smart Logistic solutions for intermodal logistics, with particular reference to port logistics, designed to be integrated with the railways sector, the National Logistics Platform and the relevant controlling authorities, such as the Customs Agency, Port Authorities, Finance Police and Health Authorities.

Smeraldo Fiorentini, Deputy General Manager of AlmavivA's Transportation Division explains that "Our mission is to make available complete solutions that respond to the needs of market operators and support the development of the Logistics and Transport sector, that is vital for the economic development of our country." In a presentation entitled "Integrated Windows: ICT Solutions for intermodality and integrated logistics systems",

Alessandro Chierico, Manager of AlmavivA's Logistics Production Unit, highlights the strategic importance, in a context of international competition, of reducing time frames and facilitating the exchange of information among all stakeholders operating in the logistics sector in order to benefit operations.

AlmavivA is the ideal technology partner for the Transport sector, for developing ICT solutions to support logistics systems, with the ability to manage and integrate complex operating platforms and the specialised skills in the field and in operating processes. All of this with a view to optimising the sustainable distribution of goods from their source through to their final destination, while paying close attention to the complexity of the national logistics system and integration requirements set by the country system.
