Our flagship product remains our own <strong>WMS software<\/strong> but this year it has <strong>gotten<\/strong> a lot <strong>smarter<\/strong>.<br \/>\nFor example, it is now completely location-independent.<br \/>\nThis was necessary since we now work from <strong>three different warehouses<\/strong>.<br \/>\nWe would like to continue this decentralized approach.<br \/>\nThis allows us to provide other specialized services in certain warehouses.<br \/>\nCurrently we split B2C and B2B customers over two warehouses.<br \/>\nIn ODTH First Class Logistics we have found the perfect partner to realize this.<br \/>\n <strong>Improved stock management<\/strong> should ensure that the chance of stock discrepancies is reduced a little.<br \/>\nAnd other ways of stocking will also be possible.<br \/>\nUntil now, the storage of goods was mainly focused on boxes in racks and pallet locations, but <strong>soon<\/strong> you will also be able to pay for your<strong> storage per day per m\u00b3<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThere will also be a visual <strong>update<\/strong> of our <strong>online platform in 2019<\/strong>.<br \/>\nA number of processes have been rethought and simplified which will ensure that our online tool will become a lot easier.<br \/>\nOur <strong>team<\/strong> has also been expanded.<br \/>\nAfter hiring an experienced warehouse manager, Joke Feyen (Customer Service) and Veerle Vander Sande have now been added.<br \/>\nThe latter is an experienced sales representative coming over from Postnl to work as Sales Manager. <strong>Last but not least: We have an app!<\/strong> With our <strong>smartphone app<\/strong>, we want to be in your <strong>pocket<\/strong> with our on-demand warehousing and fulfillment!<br \/>\nThis way you can easily follow how your fulfillment is going with us in real time and in turn we can quickly notify you if something goes wrong or if we need input from you. <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/shopwedo-e-fulfilment\/id1438732453?l=nl&amp;ls=1&amp;mt=8\">Download it now in the App store<\/a>.                 <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/shopwedo-e-fulfilment\/id1438732453?l=nl&amp;ls=1&amp;mt=8\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3283 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shopwedo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Download_on_the_App_Store_Badge_NL_RGB_blk_100317-300x100.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"156\" height=\"52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shopwedo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Download_on_the_App_Store_Badge_NL_RGB_blk_100317-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/www.shopwedo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Download_on_the_App_Store_Badge_NL_RGB_blk_100317-260x87.png 260w, https:\/\/www.shopwedo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Download_on_the_App_Store_Badge_NL_RGB_blk_100317-50x17.png 50w, https:\/\/www.shopwedo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Download_on_the_App_Store_Badge_NL_RGB_blk_100317-150x50.png 150w, https:\/\/www.shopwedo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Download_on_the_App_Store_Badge_NL_RGB_blk_100317.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 156px) 100vw, 156px\" \/><\/a>  Curious about our innovations?<br \/>\nWould you like to talk about a possible cooperation? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopwedo.com\/contact\/\">Get in touch<\/a> we would love to help you further.   &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we launched the first version of our updated packing system.
