Lava Logic FloWMS Warehouse Management

FloWMS is a warehouse management system purpose-built for third-party logistics. Most WMS platforms were designed for single-client retailers or manufacturers and then stretched to cover 3PL work, which is where the workarounds begin: onboarding a new client takes weeks, account-specific picking logic needs a developer, and client reports get rebuilt by hand at month-end. FloWMS was built the other way around, for multi-client, multi-warehouse operations from the first line of code, so every client runs under its own rules and workflows and a change for one never affects another.

Unlike most WMS products, FloWMS was not built in a software house and sold on a roadmap. It was built and proven inside a tier-one 3PL, and runs their live operation today, managing more than 50 client accounts and despatching over 150 million items. Every feature exists because a working warehouse needed it, not because it demoed well.

The platform pairs an interface operators actually want to use with configuration depth that normally sits several times higher up the market. Allocation is the standout. Instead of a handful of fixed strategies, FloWMS lets your team build conditional allocation rules on almost any data point in the system, covering FIFO, FEFO with lot tracking, velocity-based picking, serialised components and fly-kitting, all configurable in hours without code or professional-services tickets. Goods-in, putaway, and picking run on handheld scanners for speed and accuracy on the floor, every stock movement is captured as an immutable, auditable transaction, and a full report builder turns that data into SLA reporting and operational insight.

What sets FloWMS apart is how it is delivered as well as how it is built. The software deploys into your own cloud environment, whether AWS, Azure or another provider, in under an hour, so you get the benefits of the cloud without handing your clients' data to a SaaS vendor, and it connects to carriers, marketplaces and ERPs through a clean, published REST API. Licensing flexes by the day, week, month or year, so you only pay for what a contract or a seasonal peak actually needs, and the platform runs on the rugged Android handhelds used across modern warehouses, including the Datalogic devices. The result is a genuine enterprise-grade WMS that fits the operation, scales with the business and avoids the cost and lock-in of a traditional platform.
