Shippingbo takes a new step with LOG’S by connecting its OMS to the Hardis WMS. The aim is to enable brands, manufacturers and retailers to accelerate their omnichannel deployment without the need for a major migration, while maintaining the robustness of their existing logistics base.
Shippingbo announces a new stage in its partnership with LOG’S, a logistics provider renowned for its innovative approach to the supply chain. After supporting Small and Middle Businesses with a unified OMS + WMS Shippingbo stack, the two partners are now extending their collaboration to the MidMarket and Enterprise segment, with the deployment of a native connector betweenOMS Shippingbo and Hardis WMS, formerly Reflex WMS.
- When omnichannel sets a new standard for speed
- An architecture designed to accelerate by capitalizing on existing systems
- Accelerate omnichannel without jeopardizing existing systems
Développé et opéré par Shippingbo, ce connecteur permet aux marchands, marques, industriels et distributeurs, de s’appuyer sur l’OMS pour orchestrer leurs flux omnicanaux tout en bénéficiant de la puissance du WMS Hardis pour l’exécution logistique.
For LOG’S, this architecture offers strategic flexibility: offering this combination to new customers, or rapidly activating it for customers already operating under Hardis, without any major migration or reworking of existing systems.
When omnichannel sets a new standard for speed
The multiplication of sales channels– e-boutiques, marketplaces, social commerce, retail and D2C – places a growing demand on established brands and distributors: to open up new flows rapidly, without compromising operational reliability.
For logistics providers, the challenge is no longer simply to execute logistics, but to avoid turning every new channel or every new customer into a specific project.
A challenge of reliability, standardization and speed
This means connecting systems quickly, standardizing exchanges and guaranteeing the reliability of order, inventory andshipping data, while ensuring compliance with regulations, such as the RGPD, and the platforms’ terms of use.
In this context, time-to-market becomes as decisive asoperational excellence.
A key step in meeting the challenges of key accounts
As Romain Parent, Shippingbo’s General Manager & CSO, points out, this connector marks a key step in Shippingbo’s ability to address the challenges faced by established key accounts wishing to make the most ofomnichannel without fundamentally modifying their logistics stack.
It is fully in line with a best-of-breed vision, deployed alongside a long-standing partner like LOG’S, whose culture of innovation and collaborative approach make it a benchmark player in building the supply chain of tomorrow.
An architecture designed to accelerate by capitalizing on existing systems
With this connector, LOG’S can reduceintegration times and costs, enabling its principals to rapidly deploy new omnichannel use cases without jeopardizing the WMS and investments already made, while industrializing and accelerating theonboarding of new customers.
OMS Shippingbo plays a central role in orchestrating flows between the customer’s sales channels, the 3PL‘s business systems and logistics execution. By centralizing data, it facilitates collaboration between logisticians and their principals.
Compatible avec des environnements multi-entrepôts et multi-organisations, l’OMS Shippingbo s’interface avec les SI, PIM, ERP et CRM, et permet également d’exploiter les données logistiques dans des outils de pilotage, de business intelligence ou d’intelligence artificielle.
Beyond the technical challenges, this orchestration capability is a direct response to the growing expectations of end customers, whether B2C or B2B: reliable product availability, controlled delivery times and continuous, transparent information, notably on order status and stock availability in an omnichannel context.
LOG’S’ vision of innovation and modularity
For Franck Grimonprez, CEO of LOG’S, innovation is at the heart of the company’s business model. It is built on collaboration between our teams and an ecosystem of benchmark technology partners, such as Shippingbo, with whom LOG’S co-develops solutions tailored to the needs of its customers.
This initiative embodies the company’s conviction that it must always be at the forefront, providing its customers with solutions capable of evolving in step with their markets and distribution channels.
Anthony Boldt, LOG’S CIO, reminds us that one of the key challenges for IT is to master the complexity of integrations, while guaranteeing reliable flows and rapid scalability.
The benefits are threefold: improved data governance, reduced dependence on specific developments and enhanced scalability.
Industrialize without sacrificing agility
The partnership between Shippingbo and LOG’S began several years ago to accelerate the deployment of the most agile customers, pure players, digital brands and time-to-market-demanding newcomers.
With this Shippingbo, Hardis and LOG’S co-build, a new milestone has been reached. Pure players and digital brands are scaling up, and their challenges are no longer simply omnichannel: they have become industrial, with increasing demands forautomation, robotization and operational reliability.
Answering this equation means reconciling two worlds that have long been separated: the flexibility of SaaS and the robustness of industrial platforms. This is precisely the ambition of this connector.
Accelerate omnichannel without jeopardizing existing systems
To meet the requirements of major accounts, Shippingbo has designed this connector with a pragmatic approach: natively covering the majority of standard needs, while enabling the management of advanced use cases.
This approach significantly reduces time-to-production, deployment and maintenance costs, while guaranteeing robust operations over the long term.
In addition to the partnership with LOG’S, this connector will enable Hardis WMS users, whether 3PL logisticians or in-house logistics teams working for brands and retailers, to benefit fromOMS Shippingbo ‘somnichannel orchestration capabilities without having to call into question their existing base.
The challenge is not to promise unrealistic plug-and-play on complex environments. The challenge is to drastically reduce the project workload, gaining speed without compromising robustness or flexibility.
