Case Study: DB Schenker achieves rapid global WMS rollouts and faster client onboarding with Softeon WMS Cloud

DB Schenker - Customer Case Study

DB Schenker, one of the world's leading global logistics providers, faced the challenge of delivering WMS solutions with faster time-to-market across a complex global landscape of several hundred warehouses. They needed a low-cost, scalable, template-driven system that could support small/simple processes, multiple verticals and value-added services, and multi-language/localization needs — and selected Softeon’s WMS Cloud to meet these requirements.

Softeon implemented Softeon WMS Cloud on a private cloud managed by DB Schenker, using flexible configuration templates and component technology to enable rapid onboarding and localization (handling units, UOMs, currency, date formats, etc.). The solution is in use across EMEA and North America, lowering IT costs and improving scalability while delivering measurable benefits: faster market responsiveness, quicker onboarding of 3PL customers, reduced client onboarding time (configuration in days), increased warehouse/logistics efficiencies, and multi-language support with minimal training.
