Transforming Warehouse Execution: Fortna's Next-Gen Logistics System
A leading logistics consulting firm, Fortna, partnered with us to modernize and standardize their FortnaWES™ warehouse execution system. Previously, Fortna had to customize its WES for each client, limiting scalability and efficiency. Our team collaborated with Fortna and their nearshore partners to reimagine the platform, enhance the executive user experience, and lay the foundation for productization.
Through deep user research, competitive analysis, and UX/UI design, we developed a solution that provided:
- Real-time warehouse data visibility for executives
- Faster issue resolution to avoid costly delays
- Insights on cost and target projections for better decision-making
Beyond the WES redesign, Fortna expanded the engagement, tasking us with developing a Put-to-Store (PTS) mobile app to optimize warehouse inventory movement and streamline fulfillment for omnichannel distribution. We also created a Goods-to-Person (GTP) touchscreen system, ensuring intuitive operator workflows even in high-pressure environments.
By partnering with Fortna throughout the design, development, and launch, we delivered a scalable, standardized, and future-ready logistics solution.

Benefits of building custom logistics software
Enhanced Efficiency and Productivity
Our custom logistics software services focus on streamlining operations, such as route optimization, fleet management, and warehouse inventory tracking. By automating these processes, companies can minimize manual efforts, reduce errors, and enhance overall productivity in ways the out-of-the-box software aren't able to.
Real-time Visibility and Tracking
Whether you need real-time visibility into the entire supply chain, the ability to better track shipments, monitoring of inventory levels, or insights into potential bottlenecks our product development has solved it. Facilitate proactive decision-making and timely response to any disruptions with a customized software solution.
Scalability and Flexibility
As businesses grow, their logistics requirements evolve. Our custom software services focus on scaling, accommodating changing needs and expanding operations seamlessly. This flexibility ensures long-term value and return on investment.
Integration and Collaboration
Integration is key in logistics software. We have experience integrating with existing enterprise systems, such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), WES (Warehouse Management Systems) and CRMs (Customer Relationship Management). These integrations enable efficient data exchange, fostering collaboration and streamlining cross-functional workflows.
Cost Optimization
By automating manual processes and optimizing resource allocation, our logistics software services help companies reduce operational costs, eliminate unnecessary expenses, and optimize their supply chain. This cost optimization translates into improved profitability and competitive advantage.
