Choosing Clarus WMS

Before partnering with Clarus WMS, Road Truck Services encountered significant operational challenges. The reliance on the old system led to inefficiencies, errors, and a notable lack of a comprehensive audit trail—elements critical to maintaining the high standards of service delivery and client satisfaction they were known for. The need for a solution became especially pressing as they aimed to enhance their distribution services for prominent clients, where the precise tracking of batch codes and lot numbers was essential.

The search for a suitable warehouse management system (WMS) was thorough and deliberate. Road Truck Services sought a solution that would address their immediate operational challenges and align with their long-term strategic goals. Clarus WMS emerged as the choice, offering unparalleled flexibility, efficiency, and integration capabilities. Our system’s ability to provide a full audit trail, sophisticated track and trace functionalities, and seamless API-based integrations offered the exact solution Road Truck Services needed to overhaul their logistics operations.

The partnership between Clarus WMS and Road Truck Services is built on mutual respect, innovation, and a shared vision for the future of logistics. “We’re not just excited; we’re inspired by the opportunity to work with such a fantastic business as Road Truck Services,” says Tim Payne, CEO of Clarus WMS. “Our collaboration is poised to redefine what’s possible in logistics and supply chain management.”

Glen Wilkinson, Head of Sales at Clarus WMS, is enthusiastic about the company’s expansion into new territories. “Landing across the water in Ireland and Europe with Road Truck Services as our first client in this new market is a monumental step for us,” Wilkinson states. “Their decision to partner with us marks a significant milestone in our growth and aligns perfectly with our vision for international expansion. Seeing our solutions being embraced in these new markets.”

Jurica Knezevic, Operations Manager at Road Truck Services, elaborates on the decision to partner with Clarus WMS: “The logistics industry is rapidly evolving, and to stay ahead, we needed a partner who understands our vision for growth and efficiency. Clarus WMS impressed us with their customisable solutions, particularly the workflow builder on handheld devices, which empowers us to fine-tune our operations for peak efficiency. Their system’s capability to manage multiple clients across diverse sectors such as well-being, life, and fashion has been a game-changer.
