Our Task Was
Slurp engaged us to help manage a time-sensitive systems transition: their existing warehouse management system (WMS) was being phased out, and they needed to replace it with a new solution—while ensuring continuous integration with their eCommerce platform. The goal was to implement the new WMS without disrupting daily operations, maintaining real-time inventory accuracy and fulfilment efficiency throughout the switchover.
Process
We collaborated with Slurp to understand the specifications of the new WMS and its impact on ecommerce workflows. Our work involved:
- Mapping the integration architecture between the front end and the warehouse system.
- Developing the revised workflow and integrating the two systems via API calls.
- Ongoing coordination with logistics partners to ensure a seamless switch without disrupting live orders or customer expectations.
- Post implementation bug fixing and support.
Result
The integration of the new warehouse management system was completed while maintaining Slurp’s live operations. Real-time inventory syncing, accurate order tracking, and uninterrupted fulfilment were managed, ensuring a successful transition for both internal teams and end customers.
Conclusion
This project ensured Slurp’s business continuity during a major logistical shift. By replacing the discontinued WMS and delivering an integration with their eCommerce platform, we helped safeguard their customer experience and internal workflows.
