Orchestration, Not Automation: The Overlooked Key to Smarter Warehousing
Two different projects, but the same step-by-step process? Learn how physical and digital implementation is more similar than you might think.

Flip the Script: Design Your Warehouse Construction Around Automation from Day One
Traditional warehouse construction starts with the building—but in today’s era of automation, that sequence no longer works. In Flip the Script: Design Your Warehouse Construction Around Automation from Day One, Jennifer Hall explains why designing with automation at the forefront is critical. From slab specs to vertical design and integrated infrastructure, automation impacts every aspect of construction. Starting with your automation strategy first doesn’t just make sense—it prevents costly rework and ensures your facility is truly built for the future.

How Building a Warehouse Mirrors the Process of Implementing Software
Warehouse construction and software implementation may seem worlds apart, but both require the same core principles: solid planning, precise execution, and adaptability. This article explores how a unified, structured approach can lead to success in even the most complex hybrid projects.

Generix Solochain FAQ’s
We’ve successfully implemented Solochain across a wide range of industries. Our team is not only highly skilled in technology, but many of us also have hands-on operational experience, which allows us to truly understand the daily challenges our clients face. We’ve been in their shoes.
We take a highly collaborative approach throughout the entire process—starting from requirement gathering, to configuration, training, and go-live. Our team is on-site for days or even weeks to ensure a smooth transition. Even after go-live, we’re committed to providing ongoing support.
Our team is composed of senior professionals who are fluent in at least four languages, with the possibility of even more. Above all, we are supply chain experts first and foremost. While some firms prioritize technology, we believe that this focus makes a significant difference in the quality of our implementations.
We’ve served as owner’s representatives on numerous projects and have experience with a wide range of WMS solutions—from simple Excel spreadsheets to custom-built systems, and larger, more sophisticated WMS platforms. This gives us a deep understanding of the functionality and comfort these solutions offer. When migrating, our goal is to preserve as much functionality as possible while adding value and addressing current pain points.
Solochain is a tier-1 WMS with best-in-class features, which may be more than what some clients need. To ensure the best fit, LIDD has a dedicated pre-sales team that can assist with WMS selection and help shape your digital roadmap.
LIDD connect is a pre-built integration solution (connector) that links Solochain with BC or NetSuite. Instead of creating a new integration from scratch for every project, we can simply redeploy our LIDD Connect. This serves as a key selling point when offering Solochain alongside these applications as a package.
With years of experience across various industries, we’ve refined the solution to the point where the native connector can address 80% of client requirements, and LIDD customizes the remaining 20% to meet specific needs.
Solochain offers a wide range of native reports, dashboards, and comprehensive tracking of all inventory movements and adjustments. It also includes checklists and audits, with every action—whether on desktop or handheld devices—being logged. Any auditor will easily find the information they need within Solochain. There is no option for “deleting” data; instead, records are inactivated, ensuring that all actions leave a trace in the system, even if they are deprecated.
Solochain also allows for the configuration of shelf-life tolerances and automatic condition changes based on customer expiry date tolerances, ensuring seamless management of perishable goods It can handle printing various labels or documents as required and supports lot recalls and features a built-in traceability report for tracking lot and serial numbers, providing full visibility and control.
The timeline typically depends on the scope of the project, but on average, a standard implementation takes 8 to 12 months. We’ve completed projects in as little as 3 months and, in some cases, they have extended up to 2 years.
Solochain is highly flexible when it comes to integrating with other systems. For robotics, we communicate with a WCS relay to capture information from the robots.
Solochain also includes native automation features you’d expect from a tier-1 WMS. When it comes to external automation tools, all of them can be integrated with Solochain. As a task-driven WMS, Solochain generates tasks that can be easily passed on to any automation tool for dispatch or execution.
Feel free to reach out to our sales or digital roadmap team, or contact any manager-level or above, and they’ll ensure the process moves forward. Once we confirm that it’s a good fit, the typical process involves gathering high-level requirements, followed by a demo, and then finalizing the implementation plan.
