ARCIS builds an AI-powered decision layer for logistics and freight operations. Many logistics teams today still work with fragmented processes across TMS systems, Excel files, emails, PDFs, and the individual experience of dispatchers. This results in manual work, slow handoffs, missing information, and inefficient planning decisions. ARCIS was founded by Onur Yılmaz and Birkan Kolcu, two computer engineers whose collaboration began 14 years ago as fellow students, roommates, and long-term technical partners. Onur combines computer science expertise, business-building experience, an MSc in Informatics from Technical University of Munich, experience at Intel, and strong connections to Munich’s startup ecosystem. Birkan brings technical depth from his computer science degree at the University of Arizona as well as practical experience in cloud engineering and scalable systems. The focus on logistics emerged from close relationships with logistics companies and operators in the team’s network. As these conversations increased, a recurring pattern became clear: high-quality operational decisions are still made manually across scattered systems and personal experience. ARCIS helps logistics teams connect this information and make decisions around dispatch planning, load-truck-driver matching, capacity utilization, document processes, and operational exceptions faster and more reliably—without replacing existing systems.

Today we are more connected than ever before – and at the same time, real opportunities are harder to access than ever before. We all have thousands of contacts. But when it really matters – finding the right partner, the right customer, or the right opportunity – these connections rarely lead to real results. That’s because most platforms are designed for visibility, not genuine interaction. That’s exactly where the gap is. And that’s exactly where Beevvy comes in. Beevvy is an AI-powered ecosystem platform that connects entrepreneurs, creators, and customers with each other – while uniting B2B and B2C in a single environment. The key difference: Beevvy doesn’t just connect people – it strategically brings the right people together. Through intelligent matching, local communities, and real interactions, Beevvy transforms passive networks into active ecosystems where collaboration, partnerships, and real opportunities emerge. Entrepreneurs find relevant partners, customers, and co-founders within curated communities. Companies don’t just advertise – they become part of the ecosystem and reach their target audience through experiences and collaborations. Creators can build their own communities, monetize them, and interact directly with their target audience. What makes Beevvy special is its focus on relevance instead of reach. It’s not about reaching more people, but the right people, at the right time, in the right context. We rethink local networks and transform cities into structured ecosystems full of possibilities. Because in the end, the size of your network doesn’t determine your success – the people who truly stand by your side do. And that’s exactly what Beevvy builds.
