Aramis Logistics Case Study: High-Volume Multi-Client 3PL with Crosspoint WMS

The Aramis Logistics case study shows how a href=”/en/crosspoint-wms/”>Crosspoint WMS coordinates a complex multi-client 3PL operation running 24/6, with high transaction volumes and integration across ERP, EDI, OMS and TMS systems.

The implementation provides unified control over inventory, pallet movements and client-specific workflows while maintaining full traceability across approximately 2.5 million pallet movements per year.

Aramis Logistics Case Study: The Multi-Client 3PL Challenge

Aramis Logistics manages logistics operations for different clients, each with its own inventory, order, documentation and systems-integration requirements. In this type of environment, complexity comes not only from volume but also from the large number of rules and exceptions that must be coordinated simultaneously.

The operation runs 24/6 and handles approximately 2.5 million pallet movements per year, requiring continuous traceability, extremely high inventory accuracy and automated information exchange between the systems involved.

Multi-Client Management

Different rules, inventory and processes within the same logistics infrastructure.

Systems Integration

Data exchange with ERP, EDI, OMS, TMS and customer operational applications.

High-Volume Control

Maintaining traceability and accuracy in an operation running almost continuously.

Crosspoint WMS for Multi-Client 3PL Operations

Crosspoint a fost configurat ca WMS for Multi-Client 3PL Operations, coordinating Aramis Logistics workflows in an environment where processes differ from one client to another and must integrate with multiple external systems.

The implemented architecture allows each client’s inventory, rules and flows to be managed separately while maintaining unified control over the operation and complete movement traceability.

Within the project, Crosspoint supports:

Multi-Client Management

Logical separation of inventory, rules and processes for different clients within the same logistics infrastructure.

ERP / EDI / OMS / TMS Integration

Automatic data exchange between the WMS and internal or external systems involved in the operation.

Full Traceability

Warehouse traceability is maintained by client, item, location and logistics unit through continuous tracking of inventory and movements.

Workflow Automation

Reduced manual intervention and standardized processes for receiving, storage, picking, delivery and inventory counting.

Operational Impact

Multi-client management logically separates inventory, rules and operational flows while maintaining centralized visibility and control across the entire activity. integrarea WMS cu sistemele ERP, EDI, OMS and TMS systems automates information exchange and reduces manual intervention.
In practice, this architecture enables:

  • high inventory accuracy;
  • traceability of movements and exceptions;
  • reduced inventory counting time;
  • more efficient coordination of deliveries and transport;
  • operational expansion without losing process control.

The result is a WMS infrastructure capable of simultaneously supporting high volumes, different client requirements and integration with a complex IT ecosystem.
The Aramis Logistics case study demonstrates how a multi-client WMS can maintain high inventory accuracy and traceability while coordinating different operational rules within the same 3PL infrastructure.

Features Implemented in the Initial Phase

l

Production Handover Notes & Transfers

Crosspoint manages production handover notes and tracks the transfer of goods and transport units between production areas and the logistics warehouse.

Customer Order Management

Customer orders are managed in the WMS from inventory reservation through preparation and delivery, applying the operational rules specific to each flow.

Inventory Management & FIFO Allocation

The system manages inventory in production, transfer, storage or preparation and reserves stock according to FIFO rules.

Extended Inventory Traceability

Crosspoint tracks inventory movements and specific parameters, including production date, pallet SSCC, FSC type and Date Stamp, down to pallet level.

Inventory Counting & Replenishment in External Halls

The asynchronous module enables inventory counting in external halls without interrupting operations, while replenishment processes coordinate stock replenishment between locations.

Operational Control & Blocking

The system can block inventory at handover-note, Date Stamp or pallet level and manages pallet types and volumetric parameters.

Delivery, Returns & Load Verification

Shipping flows include load verification, processing customer returns and zone-level inventory control before goods leave the warehouse.

KPIs, Productivity & Reporting

Crosspoint provides KPIs and reports on staff productivity, deliveries and logistics operations and communicates the data required for invoice export.

Features Implemented Later

As the Aramis Logistics operation expanded and the complexity of its 3PL flows increased, Crosspoint was developed to support higher volumes, new client requirements and the integration of additional processes.
Un set extins de WMS features and modules was added to automate data exchange, plan transport, optimize inventory and coordinate multi-client operations more efficiently.

These developments enabled the solution to expand without changing the existing WMS architecture. The platform’s evolution was supported through WMS consulting and continuous development, in response to new Aramis Logistics operational requirements.

EDI Integration

EDI integration automates data exchange across the entire operational flow: defining item and destination attributes, creating and approving orders, changes and rescheduling, transport requests, shipping confirmations, invoicing and recording documents in customer financial systems.

Automated 3D Transport Planning

Crosspoint uses dimensions, weight and palletization rules to calculate the loading solution for each truck. The algorithm accounts for axle weight, delivery sequence and stacking restrictions, and the resulting plan is sent to the team performing the physical loading.

Multi-WMS / Multi-ERP Integration

The original architecture, built for two supplier codes and a single ERP, was later extended to integrate six external suppliers with separate ERP systems using the same logistics infrastructure.

Truck Receiving & Quality Inspections

Transport confirmations sent through EDI allow inbound and outbound trucks and quality indicators to be recorded on mobile devices. The system manages dock assignment, SMS driver notifications and loading documentation using images captured during execution.

Invoicing & Transport Documents

Crosspoint generates invoices and required transport documents for each destination, including international deliveries with special documentation requirements. Information is transmitted automatically through EDI to customers and integrated ERP systems.

Inventory & Workflow Optimization

Put-away and picking algorithms balance workload across warehouse areas and optimize preparation routes. The solution includes mirroring between zones, dynamic dock allocation, cross-docking, pre-loading and loading sequencing.

Dashboard & Automated Production Handover

Camera and conveyor integration enables automatic pallet identification and WMS validation before transfer from production to logistics. The dashboard tracks order progress and automation-system integration status in real time.
