Philosophy
Our Philosophy
Since more than 20 years we are active in consulting and deal extensively with software. As a system house, we follow the maxim: “We consult and implement your projects”.
To be able to implement successful projects with our customers, we have invested in and developed our product solutions over a long period of time in order to offer our customers unique software solutions: Our warehouse management system Proway Business World, our middleware platform Gamma, our organisation and time tracking system CS/6 and our sensor box Gamma Magic Cube. In addition to our own product solutions, we offer high-quality hardware products as a distributor of the manufacturer North Atlantic Industries.
By now, we are all aware that companies working with standard solutions can only face the global price war of service and products.
At Proway, our goal in consulting and software development is to enable our customers to operate better and more successfully on the market. In this way, we cultivate our long-term customer relationships, with which we can offer our customers real added value for the digital future.
Proway leads by example: We use our product solutions not only in customer projects, but also in our own company. With our customer projects and many years of experience with our own products, we create innovations through which we maintain successful customer relationships in international markets. In addition, the know-how from research projects with the Fraunhofer Institute continuously flows into our development and our projects.
To offer our customers and employees a safer and better future, we combine nature and technology. With our Proway “Future Forest” in order to safely counteract climate change.
For a better and saver tomorrow. Let us continue to work together for this!

Warehouse Management System 2013
New Development of an innovative Warehouse Management System: Proway Business World
New development of an innovative warehouse management system with a unique range of functions: Proway Business World. More than one hundred customer-specific WMS, LVS and MFC developments as well as the many years of experience of our employees in logistics served as the basis for the new product development. With PBW, all material and information flows along the logistics chain can be organized, controlled, mapped and analyzed in real time.
An essential differentiating characteristic of PBW is its high configurability and associated adaptability. If logistical processes change, these can be implemented directly in the system without any problems or major effort. PBW works continuously with key values that can be changed by the user. The user has the possibility of adapting the system perfectly to the needs of the company. During the development of PBW, attention was paid to high configurability, which created a powerful tool – a standard product that can be almost completely customized. -
Financial Services 2011
Expansion of financial services
The world of banking is on the move and is constantly facing new challenges. Proway supported the development of the financial services division of a large German bank.
The worldwide financial crisis and global and economic developments have further intensified the process of change, particularly among financial institutions. Low interest rates and declining margins are increasing earnings pressure and aggravating market and competitive conditions. New legal and regulatory frameworks as well as regulatory requirements place high demands on employees, IT architecture and system environments. In addition, there is increasing international competitive pressure in the operating business areas, such as deposit-taking business. Financial institutions are meeting these cost-intensive requirements with strategic realignments, optimization of business processes, digital transformations and cost-cutting programs. The change processes focus on particularly complex IT systems. Proway has therefore significantly expanded its Financial Services division and supports financial institutions in the planning and implementation of complex business and IT projects to achieve the desired goals. We accompany our customers as a partner from the preliminary study to the implementation of production and, if desired, take over application management for the desired systems.

Proway’s future forest
Proway’s future forest
Technology often means taking something away from nature. The mining of metals, the generation of electricity through coal-fired power plants and road constructions are examples where we take something from nature so that our society can benefit. Technology plays an increasingly important role, especially for companies that have to keep up with global competition.
Using the slogan “For a safer and better tomorrow”, we thought about how we could unite nature and technology. The first step was our “rethinking”: How do we manage to help our nature with our technology. The result was that we need to give back a piece of what we have already taken from nature. Thus, the project to create a Proway Future Forest was born, to be able to show that we do not only talk about nature and technology, but also caring for both.
Proway is engaged in nature & technology for our future.
We care about our forest and our nature. For this we take responsibility as a future-oriented and sustainable company.
With our Proway Forest, we are not only setting a signal, but also actively change the future with our doing & thinking by means of our Gamma technology: With the sensor box “Gamma Magic Cube” developed by Proway, habitats of animals and plants can be cultivated and monitored. The sensors report the corresponding values, such as temperature and air pressure, electrical conductivity of the soil, quality of the air and many other values. Based on these values, we can determine the vitality of our forest and actively intervene, for example, in the event of insect infestation, drought or growth disorders.
We not only care for and protect our forest, but also create a green and healthy surrounding for future generations. In order to be able to speak of a future forest, we have planted 15 different tree crops such as gingerbread, redwood and tulip trees next to oak and beech trees. In a few years, our forest will be turned into a park.
Our thinking and activities are shaped by sustainability. We love our forest and our nature. For this, we take responsibility as a future-oriented and sustainably managed company.

Sustainability | CO²
Our Sustainability
Sustainability usually means saving resources. Whether it is the consumption of energy, the protection of nature and the environment or being very mindful of each other.
For us at Proway, sustainability also stands for the future and we have already given a lot of thought to this. To be able to deal with the future, ideas are essential. But to take the next step, you have to know the goal. For its success, experience, ideas and time are necessary. The software sector is comparable to a good whisky. It needs time to mature and investments are necessary to achieve economic success.
We at Proway have been following this path with our product solutions for many years. Our principles are that our product solutions must be “generic”. Static product solutions are standards and that means process flows are standardised and all have the same orientation. Companies that focus on standard software usually pursue the goal of being able to offer their products and solutions on the market quickly and at low cost.
Our orientation is to clearly differentiate ourselves from the standard and the sameness. Our Proway Business World warehouse management system has been developed to enable customers to easily adapt their processes to market requirements at any time. With our middleware Gamma as a “universal connector”, the customer has the possibility to link all applications, machines and sensors. The Gamma magic cube makes it possible to manage and control the Smart Factory or the Smart City in real time. Gamma-Blitz enables the recording, control and monitoring of machine data regardless of your specific data protocol used by the machines or equipment.Our product solution CS/6 enables the dynamic management of your company.
One of the biggest fears of a company is that its business model will be copied overnight. For example, if Google copies the insurance standard and offers you a cheaper car insurance. When Amazon can suddenly advise you on your shopping behaviour and finances. When Apple suddenly offers you leasing contracts more easily and cheaper because Apple has already been accompanying you with electronic services for many years. These examples are based on an electronic standard that can be used to offer low-cost services to a large number of people.
But to return to our sustainability: Proway’s goal is to offer its current and future customers solutions with which they can grow and with which they can develop. Above and beyond the standard.
The only way out of the trap of “standard and sameness” is to create added value. This path is usually uncomfortable, costs time, energy and money. But the return is a safer and better future.
It is not only of benefit to the customer, but also to our employees. Projects and products that are constantly being developed advance the individual employee in his activities and thinking through his daily work. We laid the basis for this with the founding of Proway more than 20 years ago. Our references and certificates on our website demonstrate that we already have sustainably aligned ourselves for the future with our innovations and products.
Proway – for a safer and better future.
CO²
Proway stands for both economic and ecologic sustainability throughout the entire supply chain. By achieving its CO2 reduction targets, Proway intends to fulfill the global and ecological responsibility and be a benchmark for other companies.
Our goals
- Development of software that requires less computing power and so reduces energy consumption.
- Creation of the GAMMA product solution and middleware for effective and sustainable control of processes, machines and devices.
- Development of the GAMMA Magic Cube for the coordination and efficient control of 100,000 sensors. This enables energy consumption to be significantly reduced.
- Programming of our warehouse management software Proway Business World to make operational processes in the warehouse and logistics industry efficient and dynamic. This allows resources to be used in a forward-looking and sustainable way. Not only in the field of energy but also in time and personnel management.
- Programmierung unserer Warehouse Management Software Proway Business World, um Betriebsabläufe in der Lager- und Logistikbranche effizient und dynamisch zu gestalten. Dadurch werden Ressourcen nicht nur im Energiebereich, sondern auch im Zeit- und Personalmanagement vorausschauend und nachhaltig eingesetzt.
Proway’s goals are in accordance with European recognised standards and support the Paris Agreement of December 2015 with regard to limiting the increase in global average temperature, reducing emissions and adapting to climate change, as well as directing financial resources in line with climate protection goals.
In addition to looking closely at ways to reduce our own CO2 emissions, Proway is looking to maximise its energy efficiency, drive ecosystem and biodiversity improvement, and contribute to species diversity, land use and animal welfare.
