Case Study: Schmitz Cargobull AG achieves scalable digital logistics services with Microsoft Azure Stream Analytics

Digitalization in the logistics sector: Future-proof business thanks to connectivity and the cloud

Schmitz Cargobull AG, a leading German trailer manufacturer, needed a more scalable way to manage rapidly growing telematics and other logistics data across previously siloed systems. As customer expectations rose and connected trailers became standard, the company turned to Microsoft Azure Stream Analytics and the broader Azure cloud platform to unify data and support new digital services.

Microsoft Azure Stream Analytics helped Schmitz Cargobull AG process telematics, sensor, and spare-parts data for predictive maintenance and customer portals, while Azure’s managed services improved availability, scalability, and cost efficiency. The company can now analyze unlimited data and handle simultaneous inquiries without large upfront infrastructure investments, enabling faster rollout of digital services and more transparent, connected trailer management.
