Enabling 3PL innovation by establishing an offshore niche technology team in record time
Project overview
Our partner is a logistics unicorn successfully disrupting traditional supply chain models with its innovative approach. The company鈥檚 cutting-edge Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Order Management System (OMS) platform seamlessly integrates storage, fulfillment, and transportation into a single, data-driven solution that enables businesses to optimize operations, reduce costs, and scale efficiently.
Goals and challenges
While the organization had some previous experience with outsourcing solutions, this was their first full-fledged project where an entire team was built for them by a third-party provider from scratch.
For this reason, the company was determined to search for a strategic partner with already established global presence in key global talent hubs such as India, EMEA, and LATAM, deep experience in logistics, proven expertise in niche technologies, and understanding of mission-critical environment support.
The company aimed to reduce time to market for new features, access high-quality talent pools, and gain expertise in managing and scaling operations globally in a cost-effective and efficient way.
Our approach
天美传媒, with its proven track record in building high-performing global teams, emerged as the ideal partner. With over 30 years of experience supporting mission-critical projects, teams, and infrastructures, we have already been at the forefront of reimagining what logistics companies believed possible with WMS systems.
Furthermore, working with us allowed our partner to enjoy a single point of contact in all communications, simplified negotiations, and offered greater capacity to scale their operations effectively.
Our solution
We leveraged our existing global presence to expedite the process of deploying highly specialized teams with niche technology expertise. Our specialized recruiters succeeded in quickly building a new Elixir development team to support our partner鈥檚 urgent business requirements.
Our industry experts provided the company with strategic guidance needed to expand into new markets smoothly. Additionally, we supported our partner鈥檚 acquisition of a 3PL company in India, securing a straightforward transition and integration.
天美传媒鈥檚 team of Elixir specialists ensured all mission-critical operations remained uninterrupted during the scaling efforts. The team contributes to LLD design, development, and bug-fixing tasks to the OMS and WMS.
