Streamlining Global Operations

Custom Process Automation for a Leading Logistics Provider

The Client & Their Challenge

Client Profile

A large, multinational logistics provider specializing in complex supply chain management across Europe, handling thousands of shipments daily through multiple distribution centers.

The Problem

Their legacy systems involved extensive manual data transfer between disparate applications, leading to bottlenecks, human errors, and significant delays in processing orders. This lack of integration created a fragmented view of operations and hindered their ability to scale efficiently. Staff spent 60% of their time on manual data entry rather than strategic work.

Our Agile Solution

Our Approach

Our small, dedicated team conducted an intensive 2-week discovery phase, working closely with their operational leadership to map out critical workflows. We then designed a bespoke integration platform and developed an automated workflow engine. Our agile development cycles ensured rapid prototyping and continuous feedback, eliminating "ghost work" and keeping the client fully engaged throughout the 4-month implementation.
