SEE. SYNC. SELL!



Achieving sales success through greater collaboration and breaking down departmental barriers.

How can customer needs be not only met, but anticipated? For the L.I.T. Group, the answer lies in a newly structured sales organization that consistently focuses on collaboration, transparency, and networking. Instead of rigid departmental boundaries, cross-functional action is at the center – delivering measurable success for both customers and the company.

Maria Koczy is a true key figure at L.I.T. Speditions GmbH. As Head of Tender Management, she and her team ensure that all tenders, customer contacts, and inquiries are directed to the areas where they create the greatest value, leaving no potential untapped. Her personal drive is not only to find solutions for existing needs but also to proactively identify and strategically leverage cross-selling opportunities, turning every customer interaction into a chance for growth. The team is supported by a new CRM system: Microsoft Dynamics, specifically tailored to the internal processes of the L.I.T. Group. By centralizing data and enabling seamless collaboration, the system strengthens the Group’s ability to act swiftly on emerging needs, ensures consistency in customer engagement, and maximizes the efficiency of the cross-selling strategy. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated by two impressive projects within the Group.



Sweetening Success with Gummy Bears

A striking example of the power of networking within the L.I.T. Group comes from a request by a well-known confectionery manufacturer based in Bonn: around 2,500 displays were to be filled with various gummy candies, stored, and then distributed nationwide to supermarkets. What makes this project special is a team of three young and motivated colleagues, exemplifying how the cross-selling approach is actively lived at L.I.T.:



  • Marius Leyendecker, Managing Director of PS&M Deutsche Werkslogistik GmbH, acted as the central point of contact – a true embodiment of the one-face-to-the-customer principle. Together with his team, he ensured the displays were built exactly to specification, meeting the ambitious schedule.
  • Bastian Kühl, Branch Manager of L.I.T. Concepts & Services GmbH in Velbert, quickly provided the necessary production and storage space – demonstrating great flexibility while operations continued.
  • Steffanie Mayer, Venture and M&A Integration Manager at L.I.T. Speditions GmbH, organized over 78 transports within three days in collaboration with the group’s subsidiaries – leveraging a strong internal network, precise timing, and clear communication.

»Overall, it was a demanding project involving many participants and a very challenging timeline,« says Marius Leyendecker. The result: a delighted customer and follow-up orders already in the pipeline.

Through smart networking, the displays of a well-known confectionery manufacturer were produced, stored, and delivered in record time.
For Maria Koczy, knowledge transfer and collaboration are the keys to shared success.
Cross-Selling That is Tuned for Success

Another example perfectly illustrates the crossselling principle: a customer from the defense industry submitted an inquiry for the assembly of hearing protection devices with integrated communication functions. Sandra Franz, Branch Manager at L.I.T. Spedition in Bremen, immediately recognized the potential and forwarded the request to colleagues from the contract logistics division. Only a few days later, it became part of daily business: in one of L.I.T.’s northern German branches, communication headsets with hearing protection are now assembled on site. »Depending on rank and packaging level, the sets consist of various components, including hearing protection with integrated communication units, push-to-talk buttons, cables, accessories, and documentation. Each package is meticulously tailored to the customer’s specifications to ensure safe storage and protection from environmental influences,« explains Daniel Schlüter, Site Manager at L.I.T. Automotive Solutions GmbH and responsible for this business area. The subsequent transport, also handled by L.I.T. Spedition, provides the customer with a complete one-stop solution. A project that vividly demonstrates how an initially simple transport request can evolve into a complex, high-value service package through intelligent internal collaboration.



Future Built on Connection

With its restructured sales organization, the L.I.T. Group is able to support customers holistically — delivering value far beyond traditional logistics. Requests are no longer handled in isolation; they are assessed across divisions, uncovering additional services that create measurable benefits for customers. »Cross-selling is more than a sales strategy — It is a guiding principle. By leveraging internal networks, sharing expertise, and coordinating across departments, we generate solutions that no single unit could provide alone. Our industry expertise and diverse service portfolio allow us to deliver tangible value across all business units,« summarizes Maria Koczy. The objective is clear: the L.I.T. Group aims not only to be a service provider, but a trusted strategic partner with full visibility across the entire value chain and an acute understanding of client requirements. Through seamless collaboration and proactive solutions, L.I.T. ensures operational excellence, enhanced efficiency, and long-term business growth for its clients. By consistently integrating departments, systems, and expertise, L.I.T. turns customer inquiries into end-to-end solutions – reinforcing trust, strengthening partnerships, and positioning the company as a forward-thinking leader in international logistics.
