Warehouse Management System (WMS)

The RIC Group brings a deep understanding of supply chain processes and customer needs, combined with extensive experience in deploying warehouse management solutions globally. We also understand that customer requirements differ significantly, depending on the size and complexity of their warehouse operations. 

TBO4 enables you to optimise throughput while maintaining accuracy and minimizing operational bottlenecks.

Warehouses must run at peak efficiency, with throughput as a critical measure of performance. Major challenges for manufacturing and distribution organisations include:

• Meeting customer demands for faster delivery while maintaining order accuracy
• Handling increasing return volumes without slowing operations
• Optimising labour productivity and adapting to seasonal demand fluctuations
• Navigating complex regulatory and compliance requirements without impacting flow
• Managing and governing change in processes while maintaining consistent throughput

Smaller warehouses with basic processes

• Inflexible WMS that cannot support incremental customer needs
• Lack of scalability
• Incomplete visibility into inventory
• Lack of communication between ERPs and other logistics systems
• Lengthy implementation phases

Large, complex warehouses

• Ensuring accurate, real-time visibility across inventory with numerous product variants
• Managing highly specialised workflows with configurable, customised solutions
• Achieving high throughput while maintaining repeatable accuracy in all processes
• Connecting to complex IT landscapes through tailored ERP and system integrations

Managing Complex Warehouse Operations

• Supporting diverse processes while maintaining high throughput and accuracy
• Quickly onboarding new product lines or operational setups without disruption
• Minimising errors in inventory tracking, picking, and dispatch that can impact revenue
• Standardising workflows where possible to reduce costs and improve operational consistency

Tailored Challenges Across Warehouse Operations

Regardless of scale or operational complexity, warehouses must operate at peak efficiency. TBO4 delivers measurable WMS outcomes by directly addressing the operational challenges faced by manufacturing and distribution organisations:

• Faster order fulfilment with high accuracy through controlled, system-driven workflows
• Reduced returns and rework via real-time inventory visibility and validation at every step
• Improved labour productivity and flexibility using configurable processes and performance insight
• End-to-end traceability and compliance built into core warehouse operations
• Scalable, configurable process control that supports business change without operational disruption

ERP integrations - Your ERP system is the backbone of your business

TBO4 is designed as a loosely coupled, best-of-breed solution, enabling seamless integration with both legacy and modern ERP systems, including REST API–based platforms. This approach ensures your warehouse operations stay aligned with your core business processes while remaining flexible, scalable, and high-performing.

The RIC Group delivers TBO4 solutions for large, complex warehouses—typical of enterprise-level distribution centres—that are configurable to support complex workflows and high-throughput environments without compromising accuracy or reliability.

By integrating with a wide range of material handling equipment and automation technologies, TBO4 allows warehouses to achieve peak automation, optimize throughput, and scale operations efficiently, all while maintaining full operational control and end-to-end visibility.

Flexible technology platform

Future-proof, flexible technology platform with features like:

• Cloud or on-premises deployment
• Fully mobile-enabled functionality
  
  

Integration of technologies like RFID, IoT-sensors and robotics.

Complete digitization of your warehouse

Ability to capture data across the warehouse provides complete transparency and optimizes planning and control of warehouse operations.

The available data also enables the use of advanced reporting for predictive analytics and process optimization.

Adaptable solutions

TBO4 delivers highly adaptable warehouse solutions, with optional add-ons that provide incremental functionality.

This flexibility enables accurate, optimised processes, reduces manual effort and operational costs, and drives higher workforce productivity and throughput.

End-to-end functionality

Integration with ERPs, last mile delivery, EDI and other complementary IT systems optimizes end-to-end processes.

Additional challenges vary by type of warehouse operation

Irrespective of their scale and complexity of operations, warehouses need to run at peak efficiency. Major challenges for most manufacturing and distribution organizations include:

• Customers that mandate shorter delivery times and 100% accuracy
• Increasing customer return rates
• Hiring and retaining skilled labor, and the need to accommodate seasonal fluctuations
• Growing complexity of the regulatory environment
• Managing and governing change as business processes evolve
