Formule Logistics Improves Warehouse Efficiency with Astro Go WMS

Written by Consafe Logistics | September 10, 2026

 

Introduction 

Formule Logistics is a logistics service provider based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, operating multiple warehouse locations for customers in industries including automotive, printing, and consumer goods. The company manages storage, order picking, distribution, and logistics handling for a diverse customer portfolio.

As the business continued to grow, the company needed better inventory visibility and more efficient warehouse operations. By implementing Astro Go WMS, Formule Logistics eliminated paper-based workflows, improved picking efficiency by 92%, and gained full real-time inventory control.

 

Challenge

As operations expanded, Formule Logistics struggled with inefficient warehouse processes and limited inventory visibility. Daily warehouse operations relied heavily on Excel files and paper-based workflows, making order picking slow, prone to errors, and difficult to manage.

The main challenges included:

  • No real-time inventory visibility
  • Heavy reliance on manual processes
  • Time-consuming order picking
  • Frequent inventory discrepancies
  • Operational inefficiencies causing customer dissatisfaction

Order picking became one of the biggest operational bottlenecks. Warehouse employees often had to spend significant time searching for products because inventory locations were not reliably registered. As the warehouse manager shared: 


 “Imagine you had to pick twenty items and couldn’t find ten of them. Nobody enjoyed picking orders anymore.”


The lack of structure and reliable inventory information resulted in stock discrepancies, order fulfillment errors, and increasing pressure on customer service levels. To support future growth, Formule Logistics needed better inventory control, structured warehouse processes, and real-time operational visibility. 


Solution 

Formule Logistics was looking for a practical, flexible, and easy-to-use solution. The decision to choose Astro Go WMS was influenced by:

  • User-friendliness for warehouse employees
  • Flexible setup for customer-specific processes
  • Scanner support and real-time inventory management


Together with the Astro Go WMS team, Formule Logistics restructured warehouse processes, cleaned up inventory data, and optimized workflows. The team placed a strong focus on the day-to-day reality of warehouse operations.

Once the processes were properly set up, the system really started working for the company. The implementation was then rolled out gradually per customer and warehouse process, minimizing risks and allowing employees to adapt step by step to the new way of working.

 

Key Benefits

With Astro Go WMS, Formule Logistics has successfully transitioned from manual warehouse operations to a professional and scalable way of working.
