Scaling in logistics does not only mean having more space or staff, but having a solution that integrates all processes and orchestrates the entire operation in real time, optimizing every stage of the supply chain. Prime Express<\/strong>, a logistics operator headquartered in Punta Hermosa, Peru, understood this need when facing a key challenge: its in-house system could no longer sustain the pace of business growth. Implementing a Warehouse Management System (WMS)<\/strong> became a priority to ensure operational quality and respond to increasing demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 10 years in the market, this company that started in transportation gradually expanded its services to become a comprehensive logistics operator. Its 9,000 m\u00b2 distribution center and 600 m\u00b2 unit-picking warehouse support storage, order preparation, dispatch, and transportation services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up to that point, it operated with an internally developed system that, although effective in its early years, was not prepared for the accelerated growth the operation required. Seasonal campaigns, high product turnover, and demand surges such as Christmas, Cyber Days, and back-to-school season created bottlenecks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we had continued with the same system and increased operations, we would have collapsed,\u201d<\/em> said Renato Palomino, Project Leader at Prime Express.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The need was clear: a WMS to optimize capacity, improve traceability, and respond with agility to market demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Invas WMS Was the Right Choice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After evaluating various options, the company identified Invas WMS<\/strong> as the perfect solution. Ease of implementation, flexibility to adapt to their strategies, and a short learning curve were decisive factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the support of Cerca Technology<\/strong>\u2014a company with over 30 years of experience in Latin America and more than 300 successful implementations of supply chain technology solutions\u2014the project was developed under an agile, customized methodology. From the initial process assessment to WMS integration, the team worked closely to ensure a smooth transition, improving visibility, control, and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specific configurations were also defined for location management, internal replenishment rules, wave picking control, and real-time validations<\/strong>, allowing for a more structured, adaptable, and business-aligned operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduced Times and Greater Logistics Accuracy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the first months, order preparation times were reduced by 30% to 40%<\/strong>, thanks to more efficient picking execution and better workload distribution. Previously, operations worked with full pairs and single lines that became saturated during peak seasons. Now, with Invas WMS, it is possible to subdivide operations, optimize internal routes, and adapt to demand volume without compromising efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inventory accuracy and early error detection improved significantly. This has given the team greater control over operations, enabled more informed decisions, and reduced reliance on manual corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
