3PL Logistik 27 Made Substantial Savings with Ongoing WMS

At the heart of Tranemo, Sweden, beside the bustling route of Highway 27, lies Logistik 27 — a dynamic 3PL logistics center known not just for its strategic location but also for its innovative approach to logistics management. A subsidiary of NRI Group AB, Logistik 27 prides itself on its employee-centric philosophy and a flat organizational structure that accelerates the journey from idea to implementation. Magnus Rosèn, Transport Coordinator at Logistik 27, recently shared how the company has integrated technology to enhance its operations.

Choosing Ongoing WMS

When it came to selecting a warehouse management system, Logistik 27 had clear criteria: the solution needed to be user-friendly and offer vast development possibilities. Ongoing WMS stood out as the preferred choice. According to Magnus Rosèn, "We chose Ongoing because it is easy to work with and the development possibilities are almost endless. Moreover, the toolbox covers everything we need." This decision underscores the importance of flexibility and scalability in logistics operations, where the ability to adapt and evolve with market demands is highly important.

Benefits and Savings

Ongoing WMS is the heart of Logistik 27's entire operation, Rosèn explains. The adoption of Ongoing WMS has led to notable savings and efficiencies for them. Specifically, he highlighted significant savings made in developments of the integration to nShift, leveraging their carriers' strengths to save approximately 250,000 SEK (approx. €22,160 or $24,130) a single year by adjusting a setting in their rulebook. "It's hard to say in general what we've saved, but it's clearly significant amounts," he noted. Strategic adjustments in the WMS can lead to substantial cost savings, a task our skilled customer-responsible software engineers excel at, ensuring optimizations are both effective and efficient.

Collaboration with Ongoing

The collaboration between Logistik 27 and Ongoing's developers has been a key factor in the successful implementation and utilization of the WMS. Highlighting the importance of support and collaboration, Rosèn praised their interactions with Ongoing's staff, particularly Andreas Jönsson. "The cooperation with our contact and developer at Ongoing, Andreas [Jönsson], has been the best part of all. Quick actions and a great understanding of what we want to achieve," he remarked. But he also took the time to praise other Ongoing employees whom he has been in touch with, "In addition, very pleasant staff who respond quickly, are incredibly knowledgeable, and have a tremendous understanding of what we want the end result of our cases to be."

Andreas Jönsson also comments on the collaboration: "The setup of Logistik 27 was both exciting and challenging. We had to develop a lot of new standard functionality to be able to support Logistik 27's processes. All contacts with the counterparts at Logistik 27 have always been very positive."

The Journey Ahead

The collaboration between Logistik 27's forward-thinking approach and Ongoing's innovative solutions has been able to streamline their operations, significantly reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction. As Logistik 27 continues to navigate the complexities of logistics and supply chain management, their commitment to adaptability, efficiency, and collaboration remains a guiding light along the heart of Highway 27.
