WMS and TMS Development for Warehouses and Logistics

Custom WMS and TMS: receiving, bin locations, FIFO/FEFO, barcode scanners, ERP and marketplace integration. First module from $12,900.

First step: a receiving and bin location module, from $12,900 in 4–6 weeks. Then picking and handheld scanners.

Key industry metric

Manual warehouse records and hand-planned routes can cost a logistics business

3–8%

of revenue

Market data: why we took on this niche
What to know about Warehouse & Logistics

E-commerce keeps pushing warehouses and carriers to automate, yet many small and mid-sized operations still run on spreadsheets, paper pick lists and an ERP that was never built for the warehouse floor. They lose money on stock mix-ups, inefficient routes and manual work with marketplaces.

We work with 3PL providers, carriers, fulfillment centers and distributors. We know the specifics: bin locations, FIFO/FEFO, serial number tracking, product labeling, handheld scanners and mobile terminals. We know how marketplace APIs work and where the pitfalls are.

A typical WMS project for a mid-sized warehouse launches in 3–5 months. Within 2–3 months of launch, shipping accuracy reaches 99.5%+ and picking time is cut in half. We measure the result and take responsibility for it.

Context

Where the market stands

Size, digital maturity, trends and regulation: the backdrop for your business

Market size

Logistics software is a growing market in the US and Europe, driven by e-commerce, faster delivery expectations and labor shortages in warehouses

Digital maturity

Medium. Most companies track stock in an ERP or accounting system, far fewer run a dedicated WMS, and a TMS is rarer still. Manual processes dominate in smaller companies

Trends
  • WMS adoption, driven by e-commerce and marketplace volumes
  • AI routing and last-mile optimization
  • IoT cargo tracking and real-time temperature monitoring
  • Marketplace integration as a must-have for fulfillment
  • Micro-fulfillment and dark stores for fast delivery
Regulation
  • Electronic freight documents: e-CMR and the EU's eFTI rules on electronic freight transport information
  • Traceability and serialization: DSCSA for pharmaceuticals and FSMA 204 for food in the US, the Falsified Medicines Directive in the EU
  • Driver hours: the ELD mandate in the US, smart tachographs in the EU
  • Food and cold-chain transport: the FDA's Sanitary Transportation rule in the US, the ATP agreement for perishables in Europe

Industry pains we take away

If you recognize even one, we have something to talk about.

01

Manual warehouse records: losses and chaos

The storekeeper writes receipts in a notebook, then copies them to Excel, then to the ERP. The data doesn't match. Every stock count turns up shortages. Where goods are stored depends on the storekeeper's memory, and a new hire can't find the right item. Warehouse losses run at 3–8% of revenue, and 30% of storekeepers' time goes to manual record-keeping.
What we do

A WMS: barcode scanning, bin locations, optimized picking routes

02

Inefficient routes and fuel overspend

The dispatcher plans routes by hand on a map and assigns orders to drivers by eye. The result: overlapping routes, 20–30% empty miles, 30% of deliveries late. Drivers choose the delivery order themselves, and it's not always the best one. Fuel overspend runs at 15–25%, a significant monthly cost for a fleet of 20 vehicles.
What we do

A TMS: automatic routing that accounts for traffic, vehicle capacity and delivery windows

03

Lost shipments and no visibility for customers

A customer calls: "Where's my shipment?" The manager opens the ERP, then the routing spreadsheet, then calls the driver. The answer comes 40 minutes later. By then the customer has already left a negative review. You lose 10–15% of customers a year to poor visibility, and penalties for lost freight reach 1–3% of revenue.
What we do

A single dashboard with real-time tracking, automatic customer notifications, a customer portal

04

Marketplace integration chaos

A fulfillment provider works with Amazon, Walmart and eBay. Each has its own data format, labeling requirements and API. Managers move orders between systems by hand. Status errors lead to marketplace penalties, slower order processing and a lower seller rating.
What we do

A single integration hub: orders, statuses and stock synced automatically with every marketplace

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The essentials about working in this industry, short and to the point

We don't sell "the whole project" up front. We sell steps, and you can stop at any of them. Each one gives you a working tool.

  • A demo on your task: free, 3–5 days. A clickable prototype or a working bot before any contract or prepayment.
  • Your first tool: a chatbot built around your scenario, from $1,900 in 2 weeks.
  • CRM for a logistics company: from $9,900.
  • Warehouse process automation: from $12,900.
  • SaaS for logistics: from $19,900.

A full setup with every module and integration adds up to $35–90K, but you never pay it in one go: you pay in 2–4 week stages, each for a concrete result. The quote is fixed in the contract within 24 hours of our call.

For comparison: one in-house developer costs from $10,000/month with taxes, and you still have to find one.
