CarLo (Soloplan): sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Soloplan is a German software company based in Kempten, in the Allgäu region. It develops CarLo, a transport management system (TMS) for freight forwarders, carriers and shippers. The core product is extended with modules for warehousing, cross-docking, fleet management, route planning, telematics, air and sea freight, a customer portal and messaging. The company describes CarLo as a no-code platform and offers it as CarLo Cloud Services, a hosted service.

Soloplan GmbH has its seat in Kempten, Germany, and its privacy notice lists group companies in Poland, South Africa and Spain as joint controllers. The website names no parent company or majority shareholder. The privacy notice refers to the GDPR and to processing agreements with service providers. The location where cloud data of CarLo customers is stored is not stated on the website. A European organisation should therefore confirm the hosting location and processing terms in its contract. Open-source options are not mentioned.
