The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade at SPbPU ceremoniously opened a digital logistics training laboratory equipped with the support of AXELOT, a Russian software developer specializing in comprehensive supply chain management automation. The event was organized by the Graduate School of Industrial Management.
The classroom is designed for undergraduate and graduate students studying transportation, warehousing, and global logistics.
The company offers its own platform, AXELOT SCM, which integrates warehouse management, transportation, terminal management, ordering, and procurement processes. Its solutions help optimize logistics and improve business efficiency for clients in the retail, manufacturing, and logistics sectors. More than 1,000 companies in 18 countries use AXELOT's products and services.
At the opening ceremony of the educational laboratory, SPbPU Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Lyudmila Pankova and AXELOT CEO Alexey Timashov signed a royalty-free software license agreement.
We signed a cooperation agreement with AXELOT in April of this year and, in such a short time, achieved an important result: the opening of a specialized logistics training class, where students study domestic software products widely used by businesses. This is a crucial component of the university's practice-oriented education and the preparation of young professionals for their successful future employment, emphasized Lyudmila Pankova.
The company donates its AXELOT WMS software products to the university andAXELOT TMS for conducting training sessions. Licenses are transferred by providing access to cloud services.
Our collaboration with the Polytechnic University is aimed at developing the industry's human resources at the intersection of information technology and logistics. The world is changing rapidly, technology is advancing, and specialists are already required to possess a broad range of skills: not only an understanding of their professional field but also the ability to work with specialized software products. At AXELOT, we actively support students in acquiring these in-demand competencies," noted AXELOT CEO Alexey Timashov.
Students who successfully complete logistics courses using AXELOT software receive not only a grade for the relevant course in the curriculum but also a special company certificate confirming their software skills and abilities. Young professionals can use this certificate on their resumes when applying for a job and in their Logistics Passport, a specialized online service that brings together employers, students, professors, and professional communities in the logistics field.
Working with partners is crucial for our institute, ensuring that the educational process is practice-oriented, relevant, and relevant. This is achieved through systematic, bilateral partnerships, as the primary goal of IPMEIT's educational activities is to train sought-after specialists with real-world competencies that meet current labor market demands, noted Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade, in his welcoming address to the partners.
In addition to software products, the company equipped the classroom with demonstration stands and donated textbooks and teaching aids for use with students.
Following the event, AXELOT faculty and students gave guests a tour of the IPMEiT campus.
