01 / THE STARTING POINT
Growing operations.
Disconnected systems.
More clients. More complexity.
No single view of the business.
The provider manages inbound, storage, picking and outbound for dozens of B2B customers across multi-client fulfilment centres. Four legacy warehouse systems and spreadsheets for billing could no longer keep pace with growth.
AppsXpert replaced the fragmented stack with ALA ERP, a custom WMS extension, a Flutter warehouse app and a real-time customer portal — bringing stock, service and finance into one shared view.
THE GOALOne platform. Real-time stock. Automated billing.
02 / THE CHALLENGE
Where friction
held growth back.
Six connected challenges, from the warehouse floor to the month-end close.
- 01
Fragmented operations
Four warehouse systems, with no single source of truth.
- 02
Manual billing
Spreadsheet calculations exposed the business to errors and disputes.
- 03
Limited visibility
B2B customers could not see their stock in real time.
- 04
Slow financial close
Month-end was time-consuming and error-prone.
- 05
Paper-based picking
No RF or barcode-led process to support picking accuracy.
- 06
Disconnected shipping
Manual workflows across multiple carriers.
03 / THE SOLUTION
Every moving part.
Working together.
One unified platform replaced four systems. Six integrated capabilities made it work.
02 / 3PL billing engine
Every charge accounted for.
Automated per-pallet, per-transaction, per-SKU and per-inbound charges, with month-end invoicing.
03 / Flutter warehouse app
Built for the warehouse floor.
RF and barcode scanning, FEFO / FIFO picking, bin-to-bin put-away and offline-first sync.
04 / Customer portal
Visibility, without the calls.
Live stock, inbound and outbound activity and billing statements for B2B customers.
05 / Carrier integration
One screen. Multiple carriers.
Rate shopping, AWB generation and tracking webhooks for DHL, FedEx, UPS and Aramex.
06 / Cloud infrastructure
Continuity at the core.
Multi-AZ PostgreSQL on AWS, automated disaster recovery and an enterprise uptime SLA.
04 / DELIVERY
A clear path.
A controlled rollout.
From discovery to hypercare, the engagement was built around real warehouse workflows.
