Well-established logistics software provider

Our client is a software products company providing software to the logistics industry and their main product was administration solution software for removal companies. With almost three decades of experience, our clients are leaders in the removals sector. Since the start, they have gone from strength to strength in becoming a leading provider of Removals Management Software in the UK.

Expanding product portfolio

To further serve their end clients in the logistics industry, they wanted to build a mobile app that was easy to use and could automate the processes in a warehouse, essentially they wanted to create a user-friendly warehouse management system. We have been working with our client since the start of their business which was over a decade ago, therefore as a long-term Ardent client, they came to us to help bring their vision to life for their new software.

What is warehouse management?

Data warehouse management is the process of effectively managing the warehouse which includes optimising warehouse space, keeping track of inventory movement and storage, ensuring inventory is easy to find for the staff and having real-time analytics and insights on the location and stock of inventory. Without a warehouse management mobile app, warehouse management can require manual processes including recording inventory movements by pen and paper and manually entering this on a desktop.

This can be a time-consuming, lengthy and resource-heavy process.

Cross-platform, easy-to-use warehouse management software

Ardent’s expert software developers with decades of experience building apps for a wide variety of clients built a cross-platform user-friendly warehouse management app for our clients. Employing Xamarin, one of the leading cross-platform app technologies, we were able to deliver the platform quickly and efficiently which meant reduced costs for the client as well as reduced maintenance costs in the long term.

The app is packed with useful features including:

• Warehouse map – customisable maps with drag-and-drop container positioning

• Global search by client, barcode or container number

• Barcode scanner ability with zoom

• Images and descriptions for inventory

• Real-time data sync across mobile and desktop users

Warehouse management automation software packed with useful features

Our clients can offer their end clients a user-friendly mobile app which can be used on the go to reduce manual activity. The automation of this process helps the end client save time and resources and provides our client with a better selling point. As we have worked with our clients on a long-term basis, we continuously work with them to improve and add further functionality that they require based on their requirements and the feedback from the market.
