Circle GROUP: new project proposal for digital interoperability in European intermodal logistics, worth €100,000

Milan, September 29, 2025

Circle S.p.A. ("CIRCLE" or the "Company") - an Innovative SME listed on the Euronext Growth Milan market, heading the Group specialized in the process analysis and the development of solutions for the digitalisation of the port and intermodal logistics sectors, as well as in the international consultancy on Green Deal and energy transition topics – signs a new contract, worth approximately €100,000 and lasting nine months, with an international group that offers customised logistics and transport solutions, combining experience, innovation and a global network. The project aims to strengthen interoperability between management systems, logistics hubs and supply chain operators, with the goal of driving innovation in intermodal logistics through the digitalisation of transport documents and alignment with European regulations, in particular the eFTI regulation (EU 1056/2020).

The technological heart of the initiative is MILOS® TFP, made available to customers and partners as a single integration platform with SIMA (a leading software development company in the world of Transport, Logistics, Shipping and Distribution, part of the Zucchetti Group), railway operators, shipping companies and logistics hubs. The evolution of the MILOS® federative ecosystem, with the integration of the e-CMR / e-DDT digital connector, ensures interoperability with the main logistics hubs, enabling the automation of advance notices and information exchanges, reducing access times and increasing operational efficiency.

A further development at international level is the ongoing assessment of the extension to two strategic intermodal routes at European level.

The proposal also includes the expansion of data sources through integration with on-board telematic systems and tachographs (including Telepass and KMaster), to improve planning, real-time monitoring and responsiveness of intermodal logistics, both on own vehicles and those of sub-carriers.

'This project represents a concrete step towards truly integrated and federated logistics,' says Luca Abatello, CEO of Circle Group. 'We aim to combine technological innovation and regulatory compliance, promoting transparent, secure and interoperable data exchange between companies, logistics hubs and authorities, in line with the objectives of the "Connect 4 Agile Growth" business plan.'
