Smart logistics: quality, visibility and cost-efficiency

Quality, visibility, and cost-efficiency

In a world of ongoing supply chain disruptions, logistics must be smarter, faster, and more resilient. At delaware, we help you focus on three critical priorities:

improving visibility,
ensuring high data quality, and
driving automation to reduce costs.

Our connected transformation approach integrates people, processes, and technology to help you turn these priorities into impactful actions.

Choosing delaware means partnering with a team that delivers end-to-end solutions tailored to your logistics needs. From strategic planning to implementation, we guide you through every step of your journey. Beyond our internal expertise, our extensive partner network ensures that your warehouse operations are fully supported with best-in-class hardware, software, and specialized knowledge.

Your path to logistics excellence

Our transformation process is built on three phases to ensure a seamless journey from vision to implementation.

Phase #1: Envision

A quick, actionable view of your operational warehouse performance, based on quantitative and qualitative insights. We assess your current processes, maturity, and optimization potential, mapped onto eight key value drivers: customer service, inventory, layout, technology, process, quality, people, and sustainability.
From automation opportunities to an overhaul of your warehouse layout, we can help you reach your desired level of maturity.
Create a full 3D model to turn (parts of) your facilities into a virtual warehouse. Here, you can visualize, analyze, and simulate future processes, and test new layouts or technologies.
In partnership with Optioryx, we use AI to identify bottlenecks, visualize internal movements via heatmaps, and discover optimization opportunities. We can also help you improve your yard opera
We help you align your warehousing KPIs with your strategic goals and transform them into actionable and insightful KPI dashboards.

Phase #2: Initiate

As soon as your vision and roadmap are complete, it’s time to select the right tools and partners for your transformation journey.

Detail your future warehousing concepts and layout.
Prepare for tool implementation by mapping out your warehouse operations’ specific needs and the available technological solutions.
Pick your preferred instruments and partners for your logistical transformation, based on a thorough assessment.
Assess whether the selection of plans and tools match your transformation’s scope, timeline, and budget. In that way, we prepare your organization for a meaningful business case and a successful implementation process.

Phase #3: Execute

Investing in innovation: Logistics 4.0

Apart from implementing the technologies of your choice, we also invest in innovative tools to enhance your warehouse management. Our delaware emulator, which can be integrated with SAP Extended Warehouse Management or other ecosystems, makes it possible to conduct programmable logic controller (PLC) test scenarios in manual warehouses and PLC simulations in automated warehouses.

Additionally, we’ve developed a solution to create a virtual training environment for warehouse operators: our adaptable VR simulation tool. It takes operator training to the next level and boosts user acceptance in all kinds of warehouse environments.
