[CN] Hongmingda International Logistics Develops In-House Warehouse Management Software for International Shipping, Impressing Customers Jun 14, 2024
"Ms. Yang, I don’t want to waste any more time with these companies visiting to showcase their warehouse management software. I’ve talked to no less than 13 warehouse management software companies, and none of them are suitable!"
Listening to the complaints from Hongmingda Logistics’ customer service manager, I also felt a deep sense of frustration. How could it be that in the vast Pearl River Delta, with so many international shipping companies, there isn't a single suitable warehouse management software? Most of the current warehouse management software lacks independent modules, and even those that do are overly simplistic and available only in Chinese.
Hongmingda Logistics has a VIP client from the UK with a monthly shipment volume of around 30 containers. This client has over 30 suppliers in China, exporting goods to the UK, Germany, France, the US, Australia, and other countries through international shipping. To protect his designs, the client disperses different parts of a product to different factories for production. Therefore, each shipment involves consolidating goods from many factories into a single container. The client has very strict warehouse management requirements; he needs to know the inventory of each product SKU in the warehouse to place orders with factories promptly. Everyone on the team uses large screens, as it is very challenging to monitor these densely packed texts and use massive spreadsheets every day.
Through our efforts, we finally found a manager who had previously developed warehouse management software for Yantian Bonded Warehouse. I explained that we are an international shipping agency and gave a detailed description of our warehouse management software needs. He mentioned that their previous warehouse management software needed to be shared with overseas clients, colleagues in Hong Kong, colleagues on the mainland, and mainland factories’ shipping departments simultaneously, involving daily reconciliations, which was very complex. Hearing this, we felt that it suited us well and were very excited. We immediately signed the contract and made the payment.
He developed this exclusive warehouse management software for Hongmingda Logistics in just two months. "Keep it simple for the clients, and leave the complexity to us" is our motto, so the interface of this warehouse management software is very simple and straightforward. Our UK client is also very happy; they no longer have to look at the huge Excel sheets we sent every time and can check the inventory status and shipment container status at any time on any computer. Now, colleagues at Hongmingda Logistics use this warehouse management software to handle international shipping matters, significantly reducing our manual data entry and calculation work.
Finding the right warehouse management software is a way to enhance efficiency for both our clients and us. If you have international shipping needs and require customized warehouse management software like our UK client, feel free to contact Hongmingda Logistics.
