Digital Transformation of the Year

This year Velvetech kicked off a set of three new projects for a logistics firm. The projects are innovative, promising, and still underway.

Digital Transformation of the Year: Logistics

JIRA Service Desk

Velvetech is creating an infrastructure to receive and process requests from both internal (staff) and external sources (customers). The Jira Service Desk will provide the ability to configure support channels and easy distribution of tasks among support team members.

The second one is a work process flow management system which is used for building and managing the operations in a warehouse.

The third section provides an ability for facility workers to execute any WMS related processes such as the run processes for units and containers and the inspecting statuses of units, containers, etc.
