Case Study: Telia achieves sustainable logistics efficiency with Helmes' COLT platform

Sustainable Software Development in Practice Telia Logistics Management Platform

The telecom company Telia, a leading service provider in the Nordic and Baltic regions, faced a challenge in the early 2010s. Its supply chain processes were fragmented across different markets and ERP systems, and it needed a unified logistics platform to support its growing e-commerce business. To address this, Telia partnered with the software development vendor Helmes to create the Common Outbound Logistics Tool (COLT).

Helmes implemented the COLT platform to streamline and harmonize logistics across Telia's five operating countries. The solution provides efficient stock management, optimizes delivery routes, and integrates with all sales channels. Built on sustainable principles, the platform has delivered continuous value for over a decade, contributing to Telia's efficiency goals. Helmes' approach included using modern technologies like .NET 8 for a 30-50% performance improvement and reduced energy consumption.
