Company Name: The name is composed of “Light Industrial” as a property type and “Port” for the sales platform portal.

What drives us and where we are going
Our Vision
To provide a single, unified, and detailed data source for all industrial real estate inquiries and to supply data for approximately 80% of all valuations in the industrial and logistics sector.
Our Mission
To solve the problems of uncertain data availability, lack of transparency, and the economically unsustainable manual data collection in the industrial real estate market.
Why Automation?
Manual data collection is not economically viable. Our team and products are fast and agile, capable of quickly adapting to market changes. We operate in a growing and more volatile market that no one else explores with the same level of detail and precision.
