Software integration activities with federated services and connectors complete the package, for a smooth data exchange between MILOS and the reference platforms in the railway sector.

The project roadmap includes numerous optimisations on key interfaces and functionalities, integration with third-party ERP systems and a major focus on the user experience (UX/UI).

'This project represents a further step in the direction of the integrated digitalisation of the port terminal node, with a modular and scalable approach,' said Luca Abatello, CEO of Circle Group.
