Explainer Videos for Supply Chain & Logistics

From the rail network to the shelf system. For smartrail 4.0 the traffic management system of the Swiss railways, for PostAuto the self-driving SmartShuttle, for SBB the internal «Work Smart» programme. For BLS and RhB car transport — at RhB the Vereina car transport —, for the Libero fare network tickets and ticket purchasing, for SGV the hydrogen motor ship Saphir, for the Swiss Museum of Transport the Rhine ports.

HARTMANN explains its easyShelf management system with us, the University of Applied Sciences Graubünden the digital supply chain, KLK OLEO its own supply chain, Schweizer Electronic its LOWS & ATWS systems — and Lyreco presents itself with an image film. The common denominator: in the supply chain, vehicles, systems, people and data interact — hard to show in text, easy in an animated video: every actor gets a character, every step a scene, and suddenly you see the whole flow. Over 4,500 projects across industries help us get into your specialist topic fast — we dive in at the kick-off workshop.

With personified storytelling. Supply chain processes consist of many complex steps — and they explain themselves best when the story hangs on a person: we follow a parcel, a dispatcher, a passenger through the process instead of narrating a flowchart. «Intermodal transshipment» becomes the story of a shipment arriving on time. Then the imagery: animation shows what stays invisible in reality — data flows between systems, the interplay of control centre and vehicle, the bird's-eye view of the whole network.

With PostAuto's SmartShuttle, technology had to be explained that nobody had experienced yet. Your brand recognition stays: every video is tailored to your company, in your corporate design — every explanation also strengthens your brand. Bird's-eye view of the network or close-up on the parcel, we decide in the concept — by your audience, not by fashion.

Yes — SBB provides the example: we produced «Work Smart» as an explainer video for the workforce, so new ways of working are not just decreed but understood. Internal supply chain topics often share the same structure: a new system, process or safety rule affects many employees at many sites, often across language regions — and everyone should understand the same thing. That is exactly what a video delivers: the same explanation for everyone, available any time, in shift operations too, on the phone during a break.

We voice in German, French and Italian and in English too, further languages on request; we include subtitled versions for channels watched without sound — from the info screen in the depot to the intranet. When it is about hiring rather than training: for Zentralbahn we produced the employer branding video «Darum» — in Swiss German. If you want to verify learning outcomes, we grow the video into a training format — more on our e-learning videos page.

Four to six weeks from kick-off to handover — with a clear project schedule that shows you where the project stands at any time. Your effort stays lean: a briefing, one workshop, then feedback in two clear rounds per phase — plannable and short, even in an operation running around the clock. For urgent dates such as a system go-live or a trade fair we plan backwards and tell you honestly whether the date holds; for very urgent cases there is our AI-assisted, curated Express line.

The schedule is set in the kick-off, with all milestones and clearly marked feedback windows — from week one you know when your team is needed and when we deliver. So the video project fits alongside daily operations, the way you would expect from a reliable partner in the chain. Up front: a reply within 12 hours, the quote within 24.

For SBB alone, ten projects sit in our archive: from the Lucerne through station via peak-hour travel, customer information at the station and the voice assistant to the question «How SBB is financed» — plus SBB Mobile, the artificial intelligence chatbot and two videos voiced entirely in Chinese: «Train travel in Switzerland» and the explainer on Alipay & WeChat. Add PostAuto (SmartShuttle), BLS (car transport and digital mobility in public transport), RhB (Vereina car transport), the Libero fare network (tickets and ticket purchasing), Zentralbahn — and smartrail 4.0 with the traffic management system of the Swiss railways. For you that means: station and track workings are familiar to us, as are the approval paths of large public transport operations — we have been through them in many projects.

So: less onboarding, faster concepts, more precise imagery. And because an explainer video explains once, cleanly, what would otherwise be explained anew at every counter, operations with a lot of public contact benefit twice.

Yes — language versions are our standard. We voice in German, French and Italian and in English too, further languages on request. What is possible is shown by the supply chain projects themselves: car transport for BLS in four languages — German, French, Italian, English — and the Vereina car transport for RhB in German, Italian and English. For SBB, «Train travel in Switzerland» and the Alipay & WeChat video were made entirely in Chinese, and the Swiss Museum of Transport explains the Rhine ports in four languages.

The mechanism: concept, visual world and animation are created once — then we adapt voiceover, text overlays and subtitles per language version. Your message stays identical everywhere; your effort per language stays small. Tell us at the kick-off which language regions and guest groups you want to reach — we plan the versions in from the start, including subtitles for channels watched without sound.

The price depends on style and length, never on industry: fixed-price packages for 90 seconds, with concept, script, storyboard, design, animation and voiceover fully included. What is quoted, stands — no add-ons.
