INIT at IT-TRANS 2026

Overcoming the challenges of staff shortages with IT solutions

The shortage of skilled staff poses major challenges for transport companies. Fortunately, suitable IT solutions can help to close this gap. INIT, the world's leading provider of integrated planning, dispatching, telematics, and ticketing systems, will be demonstrating what the right support can look like at IT-TRANS in Karlsruhe. From March 3 to 5, 2026, visitors can find out more at the INIT Group's booth in hall 1, booth F5.

Our show highlights

The turning point of all the solutions shown is a shift away from the prerequisite that employees must have many years of operational and experiential knowledge in order to perform their demanding tasks well. Instead, INIT solutions focus on providing (new) employees with exactly the support and situation-specific information they need to make decisions quickly and confidently. In addition, they relieve the burden on scarce personnel by automating routine tasks and processes.

Key benefits at a glance:
 

  • Account-based ticketing >> Ease the burden on drivers
  • INIT services >> Concentrate on your core business
  • Automation and assistance systems >> Optimise control center operations
  • Personnel assignment system >> Helps reduce staff turnover and sick leave requests
  • Intuitive interfaces, multi-language support and AI-based translations on the onboard computer >> Easier for onboarding new employees

What this enables you to achieve:

  • Faster onboarding of new staff
  • Bridging operational and knowledge gaps
  • Overcoming language barriers
  • Reducing pressure on existing staff
  • Higher employee satisfaction and motivation
