Anker & Co digitalised their logistics processes with Golden EDI's WMS Solution
Golden EDI's WMS integration allowed Anker & Co to work more efficiently, linking their third-party logistics provider directly with their existing ERP platform, Business Central (BC). Anker & Co could now use more of BC's capabilities, bringing clear structure and better overview.
About Anker & Co
Anker & Co is a Scandinavian-based distributor specializing in high-quality lighting solutions and has been in the industry for over a decade. As the company grew, so did their logistical demands. Anker & Co realized they needed a more integrated approach to manage their inventory and warehouse processes.
The challenge
Anker & Co’s warehouse processes, managed by a third-party logistics provider, relied on a manual, non-integrated system that required email communication and Excel spreadsheets to track and confirm orders. This process, while flexible, limited the company’s efficiency and visibility into real-time inventory and order statuses.
“We were tracking everything manually – lots of daily emails back and forth, Excel sheets, and printed order confirmations. This wasn’t very efficient or scalable.”– Christopher Jermiin Anker, Anker & Co
Warehouse Management made smpl.
Golden EDI's WMS integration allowed Anker & Co to work more efficiently, linking their third-party logistics provider directly with their existing ERP platform, Business Central (BC). Anker & Co could now use more of BC's capabilities, bringing clear structure and better overview.
“With Golden EDI’s WMS integration we went from basic usage of BC to having much more control.” – Christopher Jermiin Anker, Anker & Co
The project, led by Golden EDI’s consultants, required a collaborative approach to optimize Business Central’s functionality and customize it to Anker & Co’s specific needs. The team provided guidance, training, and support to ensure a smooth transition and adaptation of the new system.
“Golden EDI’s team supported us along the way, taking extra meetings to guide us and our team. They kept us on schedule and were thorough in their explanations.” – Christopher Jermiin Anker, Anker & Co
Support throughout the implementation and launch
The integration process took approximately six months, slowed slightly by the holiday season but staying on track with the project timeline. Despite the complexities of transforming a manual system, the Golden EDI team supported Anker & Co with “hyper care” during the initial launch phase and continued to provide ongoing support as the team adapted to the new system.
“The whole process felt well-supported. Rickard and Andreas were super helpful, always listening to our needs, and kept to deadlines. The transition went smoothly because they were responsive and technically skilled.” – Christopher Jermiin Anker, Anker & Co
Anker & Co’s main gains
Since implementing the WMS integration, Anker & Co has increased their efficiency in order tracking and shipment confirmations. The new system provides a real-time overview of stock levels, order status, and shipping details, allowing the team to answer customer inquiries quicker and more accurately.
“It’s much easier to get an overview now. We know what’s in stock, what’s been shipped, and when.” – Christopher Jermiin Anker, Anker & Co.
Continued collaboration
Anker & Co continues to work with Golden EDI, confident in the team’s expertise and customer-focused approach.
“Our Golden EDI consultants were fantastic – there’s no hesitation about recommending them to others. They really understands our needs, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with them.”– Christopher Jermiin Anker, Anker & Co
