Why We Won: WMS Modernization for a Building Materials Distributor

FreightPOP helped a multi-location building materials distributor replace paper-based warehouse processes with a centralized warehouse management system (WMS) and transportation management system (TMS) integrated directly with SYSPRO—bringing structure, visibility, and consistency across 15 locations.

This distributor runs a high-volume, private-fleet distribution network with 15 locations across the Southeast, completing approximately 50,000 deliveries per year. Orders are managed in SYSPRO ERP, but warehouse, yard, and dispatch execution had remained largely manual as the business scaled.

The Decision Driver

The organization needed a way to bring structure and consistency to warehouse execution without disrupting its ERP foundation.

FreightPOP was selected to replace paper-based workflows, Excel planning, and location-specific processes with a centralized Warehouse Management System that could scale across all sites. While both WMS and TMS were included, the WMS was the primary driver, solving daily execution challenges inside the warehouse and yard.

Key Challenges Before FreightPOP

Warehouse & Yard Execution

• Orders allocated in SYSPRO, but no system managing warehouse execution
• Dispatch tickets created manually using Excel and pegboards, often day-of delivery
• Yard teams loading trucks from paper delivery tickets
• Load planning dependent on tribal knowledge (e.g., pallet limits by truck type)
• Constant rework due to order changes and last-minute adjustments

Multi-Location Complexity

• 15 locations operating independently, each with different processes
• No centralized control over:
  • Load sequencing
  • Dock and yard coordination
  • Task accountability

Visibility Gaps

• Limited delivery visibility beyond GPS
• Customer service teams responding reactively to status inquiries
• No single system connecting warehouse activity to delivery execution

Why FreightPOP Won

A System of Execution Inside the Warehouse

FreightPOP’s WMS introduced structured, system-driven workflows for picking, staging, and loading—replacing paper tickets and manual coordination with real-time task management.

Standardization Across All Locations

FreightPOP enabled consistent warehouse execution across all 15 locations, eliminating local workarounds and creating repeatable, scalable processes.

Native SYSPRO Integration

Orders flow directly from SYSPRO into FreightPOP’s WMS, preserving inventory accuracy while eliminating duplicate data entry and disconnected systems.

Connected Warehouse, Yard, and Dispatch

Warehouse execution, yard operations, and dispatch planning operate within a single platform, aligning load readiness with delivery execution.

Built for Private Fleet Scale

With high delivery volume and multi-stop routes, FreightPOP’s WMS-driven staging and sequencing support faster truck turns and more predictable daily throughput.

Competitive Advantages

• Native SYSPRO integration
• True WMS + TMS platform (not dispatch-only)
• Proven support for complex, multi-location operations

Summary: Why FreightPOP Won

FreightPOP was chosen to deliver a warehouse-first execution layer that replaced manual processes with structured workflows and real-time visibility. By integrating directly with SYSPRO and standardizing execution across all locations, FreightPOP enabled this distributor to operate more efficiently, consistently, and at scale.
