Custom WMS warehouse management system for logistics companies
E-commerce fulfilment, 3PL/4PL multi-tenant, manufacturing raw-materials warehouse, cold chain — a modern web-based WMS, with mobile terminals (Zebra, Honeywell), RFID gateways, real-time inventory and European courier integration. €39k–€210k, 5-12 months delivery.
Four warehouse types — four different priorities
Not everyone wants the same thing from a WMS. E-commerce wins on picking, 3PL on multi-tenant logic, manufacturing on BOM sync. We have deep experience in the verticals below.
E-commerce fulfilment centre
B2C-heavy, high SKU count, fast picking, seasonal peaks, multi-channel inventory (Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, eMAG, Allegro).
3PL / 4PL logistics
Multi-tenant warehouse, customer-segregated stock, customer-level pricing and invoicing, customer portal with 24/7 access.
Distribution (FMCG, retail)
High-volume B2B, fixed daily routes, expiry management (food, pharma), HACCP / GMP compliance.
Manufacturing warehouse
Raw materials warehouse, semi-finished and finished goods — MES integration, BOM sync, kanban cards.
Custom WMS — module by module
Eight modules that make up your configuration. An e-commerce warehouse leans on picking, a 3PL on multi-tenant logic, a cold storage on FEFO — every customer gets their own emphasis.
