Welcome to the Future – klarx Opens Its Logistics Center
The test phase was successful, and now it's time to go live: On September 30, 2020, klarx's logistics center was officially opened. Customers, partners, and investors celebrated this milestone on the path to digital construction equipment rental – while following all hygiene regulations, of course.

Over cool drinks and Bavarian delicacies, Matthias Reinhard, deputy master of the Munich Construction Guild, gave a brief welcome address.

Afterward, co-founder Matthias Handschuh invited guests behind the scenes and explained the logistics center operations: rental partners provide construction equipment through the logistics center. klarx equips the machines with tracking units, allowing telemetry data to be analyzed and current locations determined at any time. This data makes construction equipment rental simpler, faster, and more affordable – you can read exactly how it works here:

But it wasn't just the data processing tools and new logistics processes that impressed guests – the interior design also surprised everyone: from the lounge area to the digital cockpit, every customer entering the logistics center immediately understands that the future of construction equipment rental is beginning here.

With beautiful late summer weather, guests wrapped up the evening outdoors while following hygiene guidelines. Whether it was an Ox Grill Sandwich from the food truck Ringlers, a Gin Tonic from the mobile cocktail bar Munich Flavour, or a delicious Mousse au Chocolat for dessert – everyone was well taken care of. Guests enjoyed some relaxed shop talk under DJ beats and torchlight. Those who wanted to get hands-on could prove themselves at the excavator challenge, skillfully maneuvering a football with the bucket into a target.
A successful launch for the logistics center – we look forward to moving into the future of digital construction equipment rental together with our customers and partners!

Even More Efficient Rental Processes Thanks to the Logistics Center
With the logistics center in Munich, we're even more flexible in delivering equipment, which benefits not only our customers but also our rental partners: we deliberately create additional capacity and support our partners – for even more efficient rental and leasing of construction equipment. In-house delivery brings three major advantages.
1. Flexibility and Faster Response
Thanks to our collaboration with local logistics providers, we can guarantee customers in and around Munich even faster delivery and pickup. By managing our own logistics, we improve the entire rental experience: we guarantee not only timely delivery of equipment, but also quick replacement if on-site repairs aren't immediately possible. This ensures klarx customers can be confident that all construction phases are completed on time.
2. Greater Transparency and Planability
Questions like "Where is my construction equipment?" or "When will it be delivered?" are a thing of the past. With our digital tools, we keep project managers and purchasing teams updated in real-time on transport and delivery. This enables better planning and ultimately efficiency for both sides, resulting in enormous time savings.
3. Closer Customer Relationships
With personal handover and direct on-site communication, klarx is now even closer to the action – and most importantly, to our customers. All hygiene measures are followed during equipment orientation and digital handover, which is documented in the klarxMANAGER.
Our trucks feature distinctive klarx branding for visibility during delivery and pickup. Our drivers are outfitted with appropriate uniforms, ensuring the perfect complete rental experience. Together, we're taking the next step toward our vision of the future – Empower The Future Of Construction.
