The Munich-based technology company Nimmsta has raised over five million euros in a pre-Series A financing round. Swiss Post Ventures is the lead investor. Additional funding came from Alpha Future Funds, Gebhardt Fördertechnik, Companisto, and other new and existing investors. The financing is intended to accelerate the expansion of the Nimmsta ecosystem, which is designed to optimize logistics processes.
Focus on Light Tag System and new Smart Watch
At the heart of the further development is the data-driven Nimmsta ecosystem, which consists of three core components: the Industrial Smart Watch, the wireless Light Tag System, and a modular productivity platform. These components interact with each other and are designed to enable error-free, intuitive process management – without the need for training.
A particular focus is on the Light Tag System, which has been in use by the first customers since its market launch at LogiMAT 2025. According to the company, a broad market launch is planned for the third quarter of 2025. The color-controlled storage location markers are designed to accelerate picking and other logistics processes and are fully integrated into Nimmsta's Productivity Cloud. Combined with the Industrial Smart Watch, they enable processes with a 0 percent error rate and up to 50 percent efficiency improvements.
Nimmsta is also working on a new generation of smartwatches. These will be capable of use without external devices (standalone), thus replacing traditional mobile data collection devices (MDEs). The goal: as little technology as possible with maximum impact.
Data-based productivity as a competitive advantage
The combination of hardware, software, and real-time data analysis addresses key challenges in intralogistics—such as process complexity, high error rates, and a lack of transparency. By intelligently linking these components, the Munich-based startup aims to create a digital assistance system that makes processes visible, controllable, and scalable.
CEO and Co-Founder Andreas Funkenhauser highlights the strategic value of the data collected:
"The data our ecosystem generates is key to continuously improving our customers' processes. This is precisely where the greatest leverage lies—not in isolated AI products, but in real, measurable benefits. Our customers benefit immediately because our solution integrates easily, intuitively, and simply into their processes."
Also Marco Gebhardt, CEO of Gebhardt conveyor technology, underlines the potential of the Nimmsta solution:
"Nimmsta has proven that productivity and user-friendliness are perfectly compatible. The combination of wearable technology, data-based process knowledge, and a solution that is simple and straightforward for the customer to use is groundbreaking for the intralogistics of tomorrow."
With the newly acquired capital, the company aims to position itself as a technological pioneer in a market that increasingly relies on digitalization, adaptability and operational efficiency.
