SUMMARY:

To enhance the warehousing operations of a third-party logistics (3PL) provider, we developed a cloud-based warehouse management software (WMS) solution. The provider's legacy system hindered their competitiveness in a digitalized logistics landscape, lacking support for automation tool integration and requiring manual data entry. Our cloud-based WMS solution aimed to address these challenges and streamline their operations. By leveraging the latest cloud computing practices, our development team created a scalable SaaS product that facilitated the client's digital transformation. This comprehensive WMS solution provided the 3PL provider with the tools necessary to optimize and automate their warehousing processes, ensuring their continued success in the digitalized logistics environment.

CLIENT

NDA PROTECTED

Mexico | 100-500 employees

‍

A well known Third Party Logistics Company covering the full spectrum of transportation and warehousing services, from freight shipping to load dispatching, storage and last mile logistics

REQUEST BACKGROUND

Cloud-based warehouse management system development

In pursuit of expansion within the fiercely competitive market, the company resolved to abandon its outdated legacy software. The client sought a cloud-based warehouse management system to gain real-time visibility and implement automation for their warehousing operations.

‍

Limited integration capabilities and inflexible functionality of the initial client system hindered the company's adaptability to market changes. The legacy software struggled to handle the increasing volume of incoming orders due to its limited capacity. As a result, the client opted to transition to a more advanced SaaS WMS tool that facilitated the automation of manual tasks.

‍

Furthermore, our partner envisioned seamless collaboration among all warehouse divisions. The new cloud-based WMS system was expected to coordinate warehousing activities across different locations, ensuring real-time data exchange.

CHALLENGE

Development of scalable and compliant cloud WMS software while replacing legacy systems and increasing global reach

The digitalized and dynamic nature of the market presented efficiency challenges for the company due to the client's logistics operations. Manual and paper-based processes resulted in inefficiencies, errors, and delays in fulfilling orders, leading to diminished customer satisfaction.

‍

The outdated warehouse management system (WMS) lacked visibility features, making it difficult to coordinate warehouse operations across multiple global sites. Consequently, the current system struggled to handle the growing volume of logistics operations.

‍

GOALS

• Automated manual operations and boosted overall efficiency through the implementation of a cloud-based SaaS WMS.
• Leveraged real-time tracking and visibility features to facilitate seamless data exchange among various warehousing facilities.
• Developed a versatile and comprehensive tool enabling the client to integrate third-party software and scale the product according to operational requirements.
• Prioritized security and compliance to safeguard sensitive freight-related data.

To enhance operational efficiency, we began by identifying vital manual processes in need of automation. Levisoft created a system where warehouse staff could assign order picking, packing, and shipping after establishing a database of essential operations. This cloud WMS solution increased data accuracy and decreased fulfillment times.

‍

For seamless collaboration across diverse storage facilities, we implemented real-time visibility into inventory levels, order status, and warehouse operations. This solution facilitated the client's proactive decision-making.

‍

Recognizing the significance of scalability, our specialized team meticulously tailored SaaS warehouse management software to align with the client's unique requirements. This resulted in a versatile tool where functionality and system features evolve with business growth.

• We developed a SaaS solution with advanced integration capabilities, enabling seamless integration with ERP and TMS systems for the company.
• Focusing on automating inventory management, Levisoft utilized mobile accessibility for the cloud-based WMS system. By implementing a module that allows warehouse staff to access the WMS through mobile devices, we streamlined the order processing routine.
• To guarantee robust security, our team constructed a SaaS solution using the most recent data encryption and access control techniques. The product is designed with industry regulations in mind to uphold the privacy and integrity of warehouse data.
• To ensure a smooth transition from the existing system to the new SaaS WMS, we offered training programs specifically tailored to warehouse staff.
