At iWMS, innovation stems from a simple principle: solving real problems with smart, efficient solutions. This principle inspired the creation of the iWMS AppStack—a growing suite of independent applications designed specifically to enhance Körber’s Warehouse Advantage (WA) system. Each app addresses specific warehouse challenges, offering WA clients the flexibility to select solutions tailored to their unique needs. The AppStack simplifies warehouse management, reduces costs, and boosts efficiency, making it an essential tool for WA clients looking to optimize operations in innovative ways.
How the AppStack Came to Life: Simplifying Complexity
The idea for the AppStack emerged from over 20 years of experience in Körber’s Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). As Srinivasan Prasanna, Chief Delivery Officer at iWMS, and a key innovator explains:
“For over two decades, clients have asked for similar features repeatedly. Instead of reinventing the wheel for each request, we converted tailored solutions into prebuilt apps that solve real-world problems quickly and cost-effectively.”
While these apps are prebuilt and designed for rapid deployment, we understand that every Körber WA environment is unique. This means some level of customization or configuration may be required to ensure seamless integration into each client’s operations. By bridging the gap between ready-to-deploy solutions and tailored adjustments, the AppStack delivers:
- Speed: Preconfigured apps mean minimal downtime during implementation.
- Affordability: Clients benefit from enhanced capabilities without the expense of full custom development.
- Scalability: Pre-tested apps grow with your warehouse needs.
What apps are in the current AppStack?
The current AppStack offers three independently available apps, each addressing common warehouse challenges. These apps can be implemented based on your business needs:
- What it does: Consolidates tracking across multiple carriers into one easy-to-use interface, with real-time updates via API integrations.
- The impact: Streamlines package visibility and eliminates the need for multiple carrier systems.
“Why switch between four carrier websites when you can manage everything from one screen?” — Sri.
- Match UPC for UPC Matching Automation:
- What it does: Automatically flags mismatched barcodes during receiving and matches them with item identifiers to maintain seamless workflows.
- The impact: Reduces manual entry errors and ensures seamless operations within WA workflows.
- Replenishment pro for Dynamic Picking Reallocation:
- What it does: Redirect pickers in real-time to avoid bottlenecks caused by inventory inaccuracies while managing replenishments.
- The impact: Ensures uninterrupted workflows and improves efficiency by dynamically adjusting picking routes and replenishment tasks.

These apps are just the beginning. With nine additional apps currently in development, the AppStack is continuously evolving to address new challenges specific to Körber WA clients. By leveraging client feedback and industry trends, iWMS ensures that AppStack users remain ahead in the fast-paced world of warehouse management.
