Overview

Even though the era of digital books, Kindles, and audio books is slowly taking over, people are still looking for that feel of paper while reading. When tired of reading, they like to buy a toy for their kid as well. So, we were approached by BabyKnihy to build a custom Warehouse Management solution.

Challenge

After years of working with paper documents and endless Excel sheets, Baby Knihy needed a more secure and reliable solution that would keep all of their data in one place.

Besides that, as a retailer, they wanted to know the full statistics of their sales, trends and numbers in the warehouse so everything can be kept in check, from basic shipping preparations to the real-time numbers of orders.

Having thousands of customers coming to your webshop all at once because of Black Friday or another sale might sound great, but fulfilling their orders efficiently can be a nightmare. 

Solution

Since every generic WMS misses one or more features that you need, we developed a fully customized solution with cherry-picked features to enable full control over their work and items. 

In-platform communication through item selection and comments alleviated and sped up the picking and packing processes while ensuring that the warehouse numbers stay updated. Also, since they are already using Shopify and OpenCart, we had to integrate with those systems to get the orders and their details.

Besides single-order picking and packing, we even implemented a bulk order packing feature that optimized the process by calculating the most efficient route through the warehouse that will get you to pick all the items needed for several orders.

Impact 

A complex dashboard inside the platform helped them understand the buyer’s trends and prepare their batches accordingly. Ultimately, the platform helped to facilitate the workload and minimize the room for the mistake.
