Overcoming challenges in intralogistics
Intralogistics faces major challenges:
- Increasing cost pressure
- Higher safety requirements
- Digitalization gaps
“Many companies still work with paper or Excel checklists. This is prone to errors and no longer up to date.”
Volker Quirin
Accidents involving industrial trucks are among the most common risks in warehouses. Every collision or technical defect can endanger people and cause high costs. Studies show that 30–40% of all warehouse accidents are directly or indirectly related to forklifts.
Safety becomes a factor in efficiency
Companies that actively shape safety benefit in several ways:
- Fewer accidents and downtime
- Lower operating costs and insurance rates
- Greater legal certainty and compliance
“Safety must not be a cost factor in the background — it is the key to efficiency, sustainability, and long-term success.”
Volker Quirin
Digital solutions for measurable results
Data-based fleet management solutions can achieve measurable effects:
- Fleet optimization: fleets up to 20% smaller thanks to usage data
- Intelligent risk assessments instead of blanket checklists
- Integration instead of isolated solutions: all brands, locations, and costs in one dashboard
ForkOn 360° Intralog Audit: Consulting & Analysis
ForkOn now offers a practical intralogistics audit to help companies optimize their processes, safety standards, and fleet deployment.
Goal of the audit:
- Identify weaknesses in fleet deployment
- Close safety and compliance gaps
- Streamline processes and reduce costs

Based on this analysis, ForkOn develops customized recommendations for action that can be implemented immediately– from smart risk assessment to manufacturer-independent data strategy.
