How We Built Error-Proof Warehouse Workflows for a Lyon-Based 3PL
Manual retyping
Every order → Zero
Picking errors
Frequent → Near-zero
“Without migrating to this system, our client would have been unable to handle their holiday 2025 growth and would have had to switch logistics providers.”
A Lyon-based third-party logistics provider (3PL) serving local e-commerce businesses. The company is a DAPI enterprise, meaning its workforce includes people with disabilities who require highly structured, foolproof processes. Their clients sell through multiple channels including WooCommerce, Shopify, Amazon, and PrestaShop stores.
The Challenge
The company faced three major problems. First, their existing WMS was not connected to their clients' CMS platforms or marketplaces. Orders arrived by email and had to be manually retyped into their system -- a slow, error-prone process that couldn't scale. Second, their clients had relatively few product references but high volumes per SKU, requiring chaotic storage across multiple locations -- something their old system couldn't handle. Third, their workers needed extremely simple, step-by-step processes with zero room for error, given the nature of their workforce.
Top challenges:
- WMS disconnected from client marketplaces, forcing manual order retyping
- High-volume SKUs requiring chaotic multi-location storage
- Workforce needing ultra-simple, error-proof processes
The Solution
We onboarded them onto myFulfillment with a comprehensive setup covering both order management and warehouse operations.
What We Configured
Native connectors for WooCommerce, Shopify, Amazon, and PrestaShop eliminated all manual order retyping. Chaotic storage was configured so that a single product can be tracked across multiple warehouse locations -- for example, 700 units in a picking location, 200 in a storage area, and 100 in another zone. Every stock movement is traced with full location visibility.
What We Custom-Built
PDA-driven picking and packing workflows designed for maximum simplicity. For every product manipulation, the operator scans the source location, scans the product, then scans the destination location. Any mismatch triggers an immediate audio and visual alert. Picking missions guide operators step by step: go to this location, pick this product in this quantity, place it in this bin on the picking cart. Packing follows the same pattern with barcode verification, automatic carrier label printing, and package scanning.
This is a DAPI enterprise employing workers with disabilities who require ultra-simple, error-proof scanning workflows. Every manipulation is guided by PDA with audio and visual alerts.
Key benefits:
- Zero manual retyping with native marketplace connectors
- Full chaotic storage with per-location stock tracking
- Error-proof PDA workflows with audio/visual alerts on every scan
The Results
Manual retyping
Every order → Zero
Picking errors
Frequent → Near-zero
The impact was immediate. One of their e-commerce clients, a children's adventure game company, explicitly thanked the 3PL because without this migration, they would have been unable to handle the holiday 2025 growth surge and would have had to switch to a different logistics provider -- something they wanted to avoid because working with this enterprise is part of their values.
