Logistics: Transforming to Stay Competitive

THE IDEA: Embracing technology to transform the retail landscape

Having spent decades as transportation/logistics operators, Fillogic’s leadership team saw an opportunity to make local logistics for fulfillment and delivery easier for retail businesses. The company is on a mission to help their retail partners decipher the writing on the wall, as technology continues to rapidly transform the landscape in which they all work.

THE CHALLENGE: Create software to manage order fulfillment

Modern consumers expect to be able to order a product online, have it fulfilled locally, and shipped / delivered through their choice of methods. They also demand a simplified return process.

These expectations are creating new logistics challenges for retailers of all shapes and sizes. Fillogic sought to address this challenge with a custom software solution to manage the logistics of retail order fulfillment - connecting the needs of customers, business owners, carriers, retail staff, final mile sortation, and more.

THE SOLUTION: Multiple solutions to power a modern business

Revelry partnered with Fillogic from the beginning to build the core software that drives their business, contributing to several technological solutions:

• An Elixir and Phoenix web app to manage logistics

• A React Native internal application

• Product design services to create UI and support branding

• Multiple API integrations with partner regional carriers

• Best-in-class micro-services to deploy and scale across locations

Fillogic knew the initial version of the product was just the beginning. To position the company for growth, Revelry partnered with Fillogic to:

• Build a leadership team: The Fillogic VP of Engineering and Head of Product transferred from Revelry to continue growing the company

• Build a technical team: Fillogic utilized Revelry’s apprenticeship program to recruit and train new engineers

• Augment staff to widen Fillogic’s ability to evolve and expand its product
