Case Study: Chess Logistics Technology achieves rapid, scalable, high-performance warehouse management with InterSystems Caché

Chess Logistics rapidly fit warehouse and logistics management systems to customers’ needs using InterSystems Caché

Chess Logistics Technology is a UK specialist that delivers warehouse and logistics management systems to retailers, food distributors and manufacturers. Its core challenge is to provide highly tailored, rapidly deployed WMS solutions that handle 24x7 high transaction volumes while keeping systems scalable, reliable and easy to change without costly configuration delays.

By embedding InterSystems Caché and using a modular "Core Plus" architecture, Chess delivers object‑oriented, easy-to-maintain applications with SQL reporting and fast extensibility that don’t require recompiling core code. The approach speeds implementations, reduces costs and improves operational performance—for example, Whitbread cut picking errors by 50%, eliminated paperwork and boosted productivity—while supporting large clients reliably at scale.
