1.500th Automatic Test script up-and-running
Another highlight of 2024 was the deployment of our 1,500th Automatic Test Script. This milestone underscores our commitment to delivering a stable, secure, and error-free SaaS solution.
What exactly do these automated tests do?
Every night, while most people sleep, our extensive network of 1,500 automated tests runs through the entire system. These tests serve a critical purpose: they verify that new features work correctly, ensure existing functionalities remain stable, and prevent bugs from creeping into the system. Thanks to these processes, any issues are detected early, well before they can affect users.
Why is this so important?
Our clients rely on our software to be reliable, fast, and secure 24/7. By thoroughly testing our SaaS solution every night, we ensure continuity and top performance. This means our clients can confidently depend on software that is always ready to support their logistics processes, no matter the challenges.
With these 1,500 automated tests, Adaption is not only prepared to meet today’s needs but also ready to address the demands of tomorrow. This milestone highlights our commitment to combining innovation and quality in every solution we deliver.
Improvements to our systems this year
In addition to the many milestones and collaborations of 2024, we also implemented significant improvements to our systems this year. At Adaption, we continuously strive to refine our software to better support our clients in their logistics operations.
Warehouse Management System
In 2024, we worked hard to further improve our Warehouse Management System (WMS). Our goal? A system that not only evolves with the ever-changing logistics market but also meets the needs of our customers.
Inbound and Outbound scanning: Faster goods receipt and dispatch
With the introduction of advanced scanning functionalities in our WMS, processing incoming and outgoing goods is now faster and easier than ever. Inbound and outbound scanning enables goods to be instantly checked and registered with a single scan, minimizing manual errors and significantly increasing processing speed. This results in more efficient workflows and improved inventory management.
All types of warehouse storage, including mixed pallets
Calculating warehouse storage (pallet space rental) is now more flexible than ever. The system supports rates per pallet per week, per day, or through matrix rates such as pallet per week combined with weight or volume. All pallet types, including euro and block pallets, are seamlessly processed. Additionally, the WMS supports mixed pallets containing multiple products, with precise calculations for rates per item and per box. This advanced functionality allows storage costs to be tailored to the customer’s needs, even for complex storage requirements.
Storing empty IBCs: Simplified management of empty packaging
The enhanced functionality for storing and managing empty IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers) enables efficient organization of empty packaging. This simplifies the return process and ensures effective use of storage space. With just a few clicks, the status of empty packaging can be tracked, saving time and resources.
Blending/Filling: Support for mixing and filling
For companies operating in industries such as chemicals or food, our WMS now supports blending and filling processes. These new functionalities allow mixing and filling processes to be managed directly within the system. This not only improves process traceability but also makes it easier to maintain quality standards and optimize production steps.
The improvements in our Warehouse Management System demonstrate how Adaption continually strives for innovation and flexibility. Whether it’s accelerating processes, optimizing storage space, or supporting complex production logistics, our WMS is designed to help businesses operate more efficiently, flexibly, and future-proof.
Transport Management System
In 2024, we further enhanced our Transport Management System (TMS) to better support transport companies in streamlining their logistics processes. With a focus on efficiency, sustainability, and user-friendliness, we introduced new functionalities that address the challenges of the modern transport sector.
Integration with TomTom/Webfleet On-Board Computer
Our TMS system now features an advanced integration with the TomTom/Webfleet on-board computer, enabling real-time communication and collaboration between the transport team and drivers. This integration allows transport managers to directly send and receive vehicle information, driving routes, and status updates, resulting in more efficient planning and execution of transport assignments.
CO2 Tracking & Reporting: Insight into emissions for sustainable transport
The new CO2 tracking and reporting capabilities in our TMS help transport companies better understand and manage their environmental impact. This insight enables businesses to take targeted measures to reduce their carbon footprint, benefiting not only the environment but also their reputation and cost management.
The enhancements in our Transport Management System reflect our dedication to equipping transport companies with innovative tools that help them operate more efficiently, sustainably, and competitively. These improvements not only reduce operational costs and streamline processes but also contribute to a smaller ecological footprint and stronger customer relationships.
Forwarding Management System
In addition to improvements in our WMS and TMS, we also expanded our Forwarding Management System (FMS) in 2024. These enhancements are designed to help companies manage their logistics operations more efficiently and transparently. One of the key additions is the new dossier consolidation feature.
Dossier Consolidation: Merging multiple customer files
This new functionality allows logistics service providers to combine multiple dossiers from different clients into a single overarching file. For instance, transport for multiple clients can be consolidated when planning shared freight. This leads to higher load efficiency, reduced costs, and better insight into combined shipments and associated financial data. Additionally, individual customer data remains fully traceable while transport processes are streamlined and optimized.
These enhancements to our FMS highlight our commitment to simplifying and optimizing logistics processes. Features like dossier consolidation provide businesses with greater flexibility, clarity, and cost savings.
General improvements
In addition to improving our core systems, we implemented several general updates in 2024 to enhance the usability and efficiency of our solutions. These updates focus on simplifying daily processes, speeding up implementations, and improving connectivity and data management.
Integration with Revolut Bank: Streamlined payment management
Our new integration with Revolut Bank simplifies and accelerates payment processing. This seamless connection ensures smooth payment flows between systems, making financial processes more efficient.
Import/Export Optimization: Support for units and carriers
We have optimized our import and export functionalities to make logistics processes simpler and more flexible. The system now supports a wider range of data, including units, carriers, contacts, and scenarios. This enhancement makes managing and exchanging crucial information faster and less error-prone, contributing to more efficient operations.
Easier Relationship Imports: Quickly add new contacts
Relationship management is now easier than ever with improved functionality for importing contacts. Whether it’s customers, suppliers, or other partners, new relationships can be added to your system quickly and effortlessly. This saves time and ensures your data is always up to date.
These general improvements from 2024 offer businesses greater speed, usability, and flexibility in their daily operations. Adaption remains committed to innovating and supporting companies in their growth and success.
