Overview

This course connects Vibe Coding with the everyday processes of Logistics & Supply Chain. Participants work on realistic scenarios and leave with prompts, workflows and checklists they can use straight away.

Vibe coding lets business users without any programming knowledge build digital tools of their own. You describe in everyday language what a mini app, dashboard or form should do, and tools such as Lovable, Claude, ChatGPT Canvas or Replit generate a working solution. Helpers for your daily work can take shape quickly, without waiting for IT to free up capacity. This course shows you step by step how to make it work, which habits lead to good results, and what really matters along the way.

During the course you build applications drawn from your own work: a KPI overview, a data entry form, a small calculator or an automation for recurring chores. At the same time you learn to assess the risks realistically. Which data may go into such tools, who will run and maintain the solution, and when must IT be involved? With this knowledge you can create useful solutions that are accepted within the organisation and remain secure and sustainable in the long term.

Logistics and supply chain management are under constant pressure: volatile demand, disrupted supply chains, rising freight costs, staff shortages and growing demands for transparency and sustainability. Generative AI offers new tools for planning and communication. AI assistants analyse inventory and shipment data, explain forecast deviations, create work instructions for warehouse and shipping, answer customer status enquiries and help clarify customs and Incoterms questions. AI agents and automation process delivery notifications, freight documents and order confirmations, monitor delays and suggest actions. This frees up time for exception management and optimisation. The prerequisites are clean master data, access to ERP, WMS and TMS data and clear ownership of decisions.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.

Day 2

Module 5 Risks and coordination with IT
  • Which data may and may not go into AI tools: data protection and confidentiality
  • Managing access rights, sharing settings and public links deliberately
  • Avoiding shadow IT: clarifying operation, maintenance and ownership
  • Preparing a handover to IT when a solution grows or becomes critical
Module 6 Hands-on project: your own solution for Logistics & Supply Chain
  • Delay monitor – A dashboard that imports shipment data from CSV, flags delays against delivery dates and lists affected customer orders by priority.
  • ABC/XYZ analysis tool – A small app that imports item consumption, calculates an ABC/XYZ classification and suggests replenishment parameters such as reorder point and safety stock.
  • Lightweight load planner – A calculator that distributes packages with dimensions and weights across pallets and loading space and visualises utilisation.
Module 7 Data protection, quality & transfer to daily work
  • Logistics data contains personal information, for example about drivers and recipients, which must be processed in line with the GDPR; AI-based analysis of employee performance or location requires works council involvement in Germany. Customs and export control decisions remain governed by applicable trade regulations, and AI output must be checked by experts.
  • Ground rules for safe AI use in your team
  • Checking results: facts, sources, tests and the four-eyes principle
  • Personal action plan for the next 30 days
  • Open questions, outlook and resources for further learning

Practical scenarios from your field

Managing disruptions and delays

Automations compare shipment status with planned dates; AI summarises critical delays, assesses affected orders and drafts customer notifications and options for action.

Freight document processing

AI reads delivery notes, consignment notes, packing lists and customs documents, checks them for completeness and consistency with the order and passes structured data to the ERP or WMS.

Inventory and forecast analysis

Exports from planning and ERP systems are analysed, slow movers and stock-out risks identified and forecast deviations explained clearly as input for S&OP meetings.

Work instructions and training

Process descriptions become clear, multilingual work instructions for goods receipt, picking and shipping, including checklists and quiz questions for onboarding.

Customs and trade questions

An AI assistant explains Incoterms, rules of origin or tariff classification as a starting point for research and prepares questions for customs experts, who verify results against official sources.

Shipment status enquiries

An assistant answers status enquiries based on tracking data, explains delays transparently and routes complaints with complete information to the responsible team.

Possible hands-on projects

Delay monitor

A dashboard that imports shipment data from CSV, flags delays against delivery dates and lists affected customer orders by priority.

ABC/XYZ analysis tool

A small app that imports item consumption, calculates an ABC/XYZ classification and suggests replenishment parameters such as reorder point and safety stock.

Lightweight load planner

A calculator that distributes packages with dimensions and weights across pallets and loading space and visualises utilisation.

Prerequisites

No programming knowledge is required; confident use of a browser, office applications and spreadsheets is enough. You work in logistics, supply chain management or dispatch and know the processes and systems in your area.

Technical requirements

Your own laptop with an up-to-date browser, Git and an AI coding tool of your choice, such as an AI editor or coding agent with an active account.

Data protection & compliance

Logistics data contains personal information, for example about drivers and recipients, which must be processed in line with the GDPR; AI-based analysis of employee performance or location requires works council involvement in Germany.

Frequently asked questions

Is vibe coding only suitable for quick prototypes?

Vibe coding shines with prototypes, internal tools and experiments. With the right practices, namely clear specifications, tests, reviews and sound version control, results can also be turned into production-ready applications. The course teaches you to manage that transition deliberately and to recognise early on when rebuilding is the wiser option.

Which tools are used in the course?

The course is vendor-neutral. We work with the main tool categories: AI editors such as Cursor or Windsurf, coding agents such as Claude Code or Codex, and browser-based app builders. You are welcome to use your preferred tool, as the principles of specification, iteration, quality and security apply to all of them.

How should I deal with security risks in generated code?

Generated code often contains typical weaknesses such as hard-coded credentials, missing input validation or overly open interfaces. You learn to check specifically for these patterns, build security requirements into the specification from the start, use automated scanning and require a deliberate human sign-off before every deployment.

Will generative AI replace our planning software?

No. Specialised planning, warehouse management and transport systems remain the backbone. Generative AI complements them with analysis, explanation, communication and document processing. In the course we show how to analyse exports from these systems with AI and automate recurring workflows.

Is AI reliable for customs questions?

AI is a good starting point for research and structure, but it can be wrong about tariff codes, preference rules or sanctions lists. Binding decisions require official sources and expertise, such as binding tariff information. We practise checking AI output systematically against official sources.

How much does “Vibe Coding for Logistics and Supply Chain Teams” cost?

The course costs a flat €949 plus VAT per participant – whether online or on-site. This includes 2 training day(s) with a live trainer, course materials, a lab environment and a certificate of attendance.

Can I suggest my own date?

Yes. Our suggested dates are just a guide. In the request form you can always describe your preferred date or period in free text – we check availability and confirm within one working day.

Is the course online or on-site?

Both are possible: live online in a virtual classroom or on-site in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart or Kaiserslautern. We can also run the course exclusively for your team.
