The Munich technology company Nimmsta has raised over five million euros in a pre-series A funding round. Lead investor is Swiss Post Ventures. Additional funds came from Alpha Future Funds, Gebhardt Fördertechnik, Companisto, and other new and existing investors. The funding 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 center of 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 work together and are intended to enable error-free, intuitive process guidance – without any training required.
A special focus is on the Light Tag System, which has been in use with initial customers since its market launch at LogiMAT 2025. According to the company, a broad market introduction is planned from 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. In combination with the Industrial Smart Watch, processes can be achieved with an error rate of 0 percent and efficiency improvements of up to 50 percent.
Additionally, Nimmsta is working on a new generation of the smart watch. This will be capable of operating standalone without external devices in the future and can thus replace traditional mobile data collection devices (MDEs). The goal: as little technology as possible with maximum impact.
Data-driven 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 lack of transparency. Through intelligent linking of these components, the Munich startup wants to create a digital assistance system that makes processes visible, controllable, and scalable.
CEO and co-founder Andreas Funkenhauser emphasizes the strategic value of the collected data:
“The data generated by our ecosystem is the key to continuous improvement of our customers’ processes. That’s exactly where the greatest leverage lies – not in isolated AI products, but in real, measurable benefits. Our customers benefit immediately because our solution integrates simply, intuitively, and uncomplicated into their processes.”
Marco Gebhardt, CEO of Gebhardt Fördertechnik, also emphasizes the potential of the Nimmsta solution:
“Nimmsta has proven that productivity and user-friendliness are perfectly compatible. The combination of wearable technology, data-driven process knowledge, and a solution that is simple and straightforward for customers to use is groundbreaking for the intralogistics of tomorrow.”
With the newly acquired capital, the company aims to position itself as a technology leader in a market that increasingly focuses on digitalization, adaptability, and operational efficiency.
