Project Summary

Qubiz developed a cloud-based warehouse management system (WMS) from scratch and implemented the technical solution on Microsoft Azure. The client described a close collaboration where the vendor assumed full technical ownership while the client provided functional requirements. The platform runs a fully automated warehouse in the US and Qubiz provides ongoing 24/7 support and maintenance.

Key Challenges

Legacy WMS built on old technology could not meet requirements
Need to create a completely new WMS from scratch

Project Deliverables

Cloud-based warehouse management system (WMS)
Technical implementation on Microsoft Azure components
Automated testing and daily unit tests
Ongoing support and on-site developer support during launch

Project Solution

Qubiz collaborated closely with the client to translate functional requirements into a complete technical implementation, taking full ownership of the technical solution. They built the WMS on Microsoft Azure components, implemented automated and unit testing, staffed a ~40-person cross-functional team (including scrum manager, system architect, QA), and provide ongoing support including on-site developers at go-live.

Project Outcome

Running a fully automated warehouse in the US
Platform meets client quality expectations and supports complex, large-scale operations (noted coverage of '100,000 other places')
24/7 support with successful go-live support including on-site developers
