Thorough planning is essential for smooth start-up in production and an efficiently functional overall logistics concept for the long haul. We support our customers during planning and implementation, right to the introduction of new warehouse management systems. During that process, we look at the entirety of your logistics processes and work out solutions with an eye on the big picture, so you are perfectly ready for the future. Together, we analyse your existing business processes and find the right IT solution for your needs – whether you are building a new warehouse or have an existing logistics concept. Upon request, we can also provide advice on appropriate hardware and then deliver it ready to operate.

The implementation of our projects largely takes place by modelling the business processes in our extensive data model. To do this, we use industry-specific templates. Since no application is truly identical to any other, not even between subsidiaries of the same company, we adapt the modules in our warehouse management software through programming as well. This tailor-made, refined adaptation maximises user friendliness. Our customers get an application that can be operated transparently and with as little effort as possible.

To ensure that the result will work smoothly and meet the expectations of our customers, we test the interplay between all the modules before commissioning starts, in an integration test.

During commissioning, the business processes are once again tested thoroughly on-site, with the goods, carriers, all building systems affected and their interfaces. This test is generally carried out with a broader core team from the customer at their workstations with all peripherals in place. Corrections can still be made during this phase. This is when the overall system gets its final finishing touches.

Only extremely conscientious work, especially in this project phase, can lay the groundwork for the smoothest possible transition to production operation.

To ensure the production operation of the system and to familiarise customers' personnel with the software and especially with the new workflow, we can provide intensive training in advance. Even though the software is intuitive and can be operated without training, employees should be prepared for the change in processes at the different workstations and reactions in exceptional situations. As a result, practical training is carried out on site. The early involvement of the people responsible for operation of the system even during in-house acceptance and in particular throughout the commissioning process ensures a smooth start without delay.
