Demand
In a world where millions of packages race to reach customers faster than ever, even the slightest delay in the warehouse can snowball into missed deadlines and frustrated customers. One of the world’s most iconic sports brands, Nike, needed a seamless way to connect their Warehouse Management System (WMS) with an expanding range of low-level automations, from conveyor belts to automated packing machines.
The solution required no vendor lock-in, no latency issues – just a future-proof, scalable system that could handle high-pressure demands like an elite athlete on game day.
Design
The goal was to develop a robust middleware solution that was powerful enough to connect complex automations, smart enough to process in real-time, and lean enough to remain cloud-native.
We chose AWS as our cloud platform, already in use by the client and equipped with the right tools for the task. The design combined the speed of on-premises processing with the flexibility of the cloud, enabling centralized management, seamless updates, and reliable failover systems.
Deliver
In just a few weeks, we delivered a live middleware platform that securely and reliably bridged the client’s WMS with critical automation systems, all without vendor dependencies.
Our cloud-native architecture enables:
- Local low-latency processing
- Centralized monitoring and debugging
- Rapid rollout of new automations
Drive
“From logistics challenges to performance improvements.” Today, Nike operates with reduced friction, quicker response times, and enhanced visibility across their warehouse automation systems.
Their cloud-based approach allows for multi-region rollouts, providing global operations with robust performance without the need for extensive re-engineering.
This is how we+ transform complexity into clarity, leveraging the power of cloud, the precision of engineering, and a deep understanding of what businesses truly need to succeed. The middleware solution has ensured 99.9% automation uptime across the logistics chain, resulting in a 20% faster picking and packing process and a 30% reduction in manual errors. This improvement has generated over €250,000 in annual operational savings while future proofing their warehouse operations worldwide.
