Every process, one infrastructure.

Enterprise retail, Logistics 4.0, B2B ecosystems and AI assistants. Our first step is always to get to know your organisation and its culture.

Context

Retail is changing.
So must its systems.

Digital technology is changing consumer behaviour; for the consumer, the sales channel a product comes through matters less and less.

That shift requires retailers to adopt new technologies, new processes and new organisational formats, and to develop a business strategy fit for the times.

Every process then has to run on an effective software infrastructure: from product classification to pricing policy, from promotions management to financial operations, from customer relations to sales planning, from supply chain to warehouse management.

01 — Enterprise Retail

Volant ERP

Runs retail on dynamic, rational models rather than traditional habits, and manages by measurement. Designed for department store and chain retail.

Volant ERP brings the processes of department store and chain retail onto one software infrastructure: product classification, pricing, promotions management, finance, customer relations and sales planning.

Supply chain, warehouse management, dispatch, barcoding and reporting sit on the same infrastructure, with easy-to-use mobile and web applications. Processes between head office and stores are automated; workload falls and retail’s demand for speed is met.

  • Makes potential visible

  • Focuses on results

  • Manages by measuring

  • Keeps finances in order

02 — Enterprise Logistics 4.0

Volant WMS

Turns your warehouse into a smart warehouse. Every product has a bin location and stock is managed at item level. Provides map-based live dispatch planning, vehicle tracking and smart routing.

  • Vehicle tracking and smart routing
  • Unmanned counting with drones and image processing

Digitised logistics planning has made operations more flexible, faster and more efficient. Virtualising stock and inventory controls before dispatch lays the groundwork for end-to-end planning.

Planning runs on a real-time map, taking traffic density, weather and forecast traffic into account. Every planned step is tracked live and can be adjusted when needed.

The smart warehouse system is built on bin locations and three-dimensional warehouse management. Every physical condition is virtualised; stock counts can be carried out unmanned and fast, using a smart drone system, image processing and optical recognition.
