Solvares (previously: FLS) develops and sells software that enables energy suppliers, industrial companies, financial service providers, retail and real estate companies to plan and optimise their schedule and route planning as well as their deployment of field service employees and delivery vehicles. Its products are based on a heuristic algorithm that uses real-time data, making it possible to find solutions for planning tasks while taking into account a large number of influential factors. This particularly meets the needs of companies that want to efficiently deploy a large number of employees at the same time in a rapidly changing environment. The company operates against a background of growing expectations in ordering and delivery processes and dynamic traffic conditions that are almost impossible to predict. The market for optimisation software in this kind of environment is expanding at rates that are well into double digits, substantially driven also by the growth in e-commerce. The company stands out due to the services it offers, which are customised to the needs of the customer groups mentioned. Clients rely on their products, enabling them to benefit from the competitive advantages of maximum resource utilisation, cost savings and far superior service quality.

FLS was established in 1992; the headquarter is located in Heikendorf near Kiel (Schleswig-Holstein), another office is located in Cologne. With sales offices in the UK and the Netherlands, the company is driving forward its international expansion.

DBAG will enable the company to drive its growth, take advantage of expertise, and strategically develop it further. The company wants to first establish and expand a partner network in Germany and then do the same in other countries in order to strengthen its market access and offer its solutions to an even broader customer base.
