Company History
Heidler Strichcode GmbH

From barcode printer to integrated software program

1991

The Heidler Barcode GmbH is founded by Walter Heidler.

A printing station for router labels is developed as the company’s first product for the DPD warehouse Ludwigsburg. This printing station prints out a barcode router label by manually entering the recipient’s postal code. By attaching the router labels to the parcels arriving at the warehouse, they are automatically scanned and distributed by the sorting system. Based on this first product, the company develops more and more solutions for dispatch logistics.

1992

The next idea: Printing the routing barcode with package number simultaneously with the recipient address, right on the sender’s premises. This leads to the first Heidler shipping program (DOS), which is installed with a DPD-module for the first customer. Gradually, further shipping service providers are integrated into the system.

2000

Nine years after its founding, the company moves into its own, newly built company building.

2002

After many years of further development, the first Windows version of the Heidler shipping system, “HVS32“, is launched on the market, replacing the existing DOS version.

2010

Daughter Steffi and son Mats strengthen the team, which has now grown to 25 employees, by joining their parents’ company.

Senior Walter Heidler retires from the operative business at the age of 71 and hands over the management to his children.

Today

The continuously further developed HVS has over 280 different shipping modules (national and international), as well as a multitude of interfaces and plug-ins for function expansion and optimal integration. Currently, more than 2,000 systems are in use worldwide with parcel volumes of up to 100,000 packages per day.

"The implementation of the [Heidler shipping system] HVS32 alone has optimized our logistics to a great extent. But with the hardware solutions for volume and weight measurement, we have ignited an efficiency turbo for our logistics processes."

"The flexibility of the solution itself as well as the HEIDLER staff and their professionalism are real highlights. HEIDLER understands our problems and can provide us with suitable solutions. We therefore regard HEIDLER not just as a supplier, but as a partner to whom we attach great importance. The partnership offers us exactly what we need.“

Head of IT at Ordipol
"The solution is particularly powerful due to its individual adaptability. For example, due to Saarbrücken's proximity to France, foreign carriers were also integrated into the solution in addition to the usual carriers such as DPD, Schenker and Dachser. The fact that Heidler has helped to create additional labels, such as those requested by Amazon, also helps us immensely in satisfying our customers.“
