For Emka, a warehouse services provider, we developed custom software supporting goods receipt, order picking and packing. The system connects work on individual parcels with data exchange between ecommerce platforms, ERP systems and carriers.

From order data to a prepared parcel

Warehouse information comes from several sources, while an operator needs it in the context of a particular order. Our solution includes a parcel reader, label scanning, item counting and preparation for dispatch. We adapted the software to the environments used by the client.

The integrations cover WooCommerce, Shopify, Subiekt Nexo, Subiekt GT and BaseLinker. The scanning application connects warehouse operations with store and business-system data.

What information do the systems exchange?

• Orders retrieved and passed between the connected systems.
• Stock information used for synchronisation with clients’ systems.
• Order status changes associated with processing and picking.
• Shipment data and shipping labels needed to dispatch parcels.

The supported workflows include generating, retrieving and exchanging shipping labels, as well as fetching labels on demand. Labels can also be retrieved during order picking, as in the supported InPost workflow. The cooperation also includes integrations with FedEx and DPD.

Maintaining integrations after updates

Connected systems need continued support when their software or configuration changes. During the cooperation, we adapted the parcel reader after updates to Subiekt and its SDK. This illustrates the maintenance needed to keep an existing workflow running after changes in an external system.

The systems also exchange information about shortages during picking, allowing parcel data and its status to be passed between the parties involved in the workflow.

What did the solution deliver?

Emka received software adapted to warehouse operations and connected to the systems involved in fulfilling orders. Operators can work on parcels while the integrations handle the necessary data exchange.

We develop custom applications and system integrations and provide technical support after launch. Tell us about your warehouse workflow so we can identify the systems and stages that need to connect.
