The concept of logistics facilities database in the EPLOS system

The paper presents results of research on the needs of TSL companies in the field of information on logistics facilities, analysis of existing databases containing such information as well as the concept of a structure of databases on logistics facilities in the EPLOS system. There were also made assumptions regarding the scope of information obtained from existing databases and requirements for them. The EPLOS system - European Portal of Logistics Services is a tool supporting the planning of logistics processes. It also supports the implementation of these processes by providing entities operating in the TSL market with current and verified data on operations in a given area of logistics companies, as well as the availability of point and linear logistics infrastructure. EPLOS system is created as part of a project financed on the initiative of EURE-KA.
