Integration between Ongoing WMS and e-motions

“The combination Ongoing WMS and e-motions is powerful. e-motions completely automates our sorting process together with Ongoing WMS. We get an absolute overview of the packages passing through the e-motions DWS (Dimension – weight scan). Errors are eliminated and our transportation costs decline since we are able to accurately verify and match package volume metrics to freight invoices”, Says Gustav Jebsen, CEO at 360 Logistics. 

e-motions is specialized in automation solutions for ecommerce logistics and manufacturing companies. e-motion delivers conveyors and sorting equipment for ecommerce.

“When your packages are ready for shipment, you want packages going to abroad to be in a different load carrier than packages going to Norway. You also want to separate different carriers as well as freight zones, freight services and package sizes within the same carrier. The conveyor and DWS solution automatically moves packages from one location to another and handles the sorting process automatically”, Nils Brunke, CEO at e-motions says.  

e-motions has used Ongoing´s API to integrate the two systems.

“Ongoing WMS has a well-developed automation API that is very easy to integrate towards. A great advantage is that the API is public on their website with clear instructions on how to integrate a conveyor-based automation solution. This saves us and our customers a lot of time. There are several 3PL companies who use the integration with great success, one of them being 360 Logistics”, Nils Brunke continues.

“The importance of automation systems is rapidly increasing, and in the future, we believe that they will be an essential part of logistics intensive companies. Therefore, we have put a lot of effort into developing the automation API. It has been a great success and many automation companies have already built integrations towards Ongoing WMS. The e-motion integration is important since it further strengthens our ecosystem of integrations with automation systems”, says Fredrik Einarsson, CEO at Ongoing Warehouse.

The integration automates the sorting process and increases precision as well as flexibility. When a package arrives at e-motions conveyor solution, the package is measured, and the information is sent to Ongoing WMS. e-motions conveyor solution scans the barcode of the package and receives relevant information from Ongoing WMS such as consignee address, zip code, name, etc. This allows the conveyor belt to automatically forward the package to the correct destination.
