Mobile Warehouse Management System

Digitizing warehouse operations with offline-first mobile technology

A food distribution leader partnered with Go Brilliant to develop a cross-platform mobile WMS app that eliminated paper-based processes and provided real-time synchronization with their ERP system.

Client Profile

A leading food distribution organization operating multiple high-volume warehouses with complex picking, packing, and dispatch requirements across diverse product categories.

The Challenge

Warehouse operations were plagued by manual, paper-based processes that led to inefficiency and errors:

Manual Paperwork: Warehouse staff relied on printed pick lists and packing slips, leading to frequent errors in item selection and quantities
No Real-Time Visibility: Supervisors lacked live visibility into task progress, making it difficult to optimize workflows and identify bottlenecks
ERP Data Mismatches: Manual data entry at end of shifts caused frequent discrepancies between warehouse activity and ERP records
Delayed Error Detection: Picking and packing errors were often discovered only during quality checks or customer complaints
Inefficient Task Assignment: Manual task allocation led to unbalanced workloads and suboptimal resource utilization

Our Solution
