PIRAC - Warehouse Management System
Our warehouse management system adapted for the French Red Cross's Americas-Caribbean platform (PIRAC): logistics documents at every stage, an offline mode, a map of each warehouse, localised item catalogues, and a platform in English, French and Spanish.

Relief Applications developed a web platform called Warehouse Management System (WMS) to be used by warehouse operators and managers alike. The solution entailed the development of both a web and mobile application to allow the French Red Cross staff to manage stock in real-time: keep track of their stock in different countries and warehouses through movement creation, project and user management and creation of visual dashboards. The mobile app also allows users to work more quickly by accessing data through QR codes scan.
The Caribbean region is one of the most disaster-prone regions in the world. It is mainly composed of states fragmented into isolated island archipelagos, which makes the delivery of humanitarian goods costly and more restricted. In this context, disaster risk preparedness and awareness are essential to increase the resilience of local populations. The French Red Cross operates in the Caribbean through the Regional Intervention Platform of the Americas-Caribbean (PIRAC), which allows them to concentrate skills and means of response as close as possible to vulnerable populations.
To better comply with this mission and the increasingly challenging context, PIRAC needed to optimize its logistics management and therefore, Relief Applications worked their existing WMS solution to include features answering PIRAC’s issues:
Shipping items: choice of transport and generation of documentation Generating logistics documentation at all stages of the logistics cycle: requisition,consignment note, receipt slip, stock card, physical inventory form, stock movement report, etc. Offline mode to maintain the platform functionalities without the need for an internet connection, especially in the field and in case of connectivity problems. Incorporating a global map with the location and capacity of each warehouse. Adding localized item catalogues for requests.
WMS: Warehouse Management System designed for the field
The challenge
- Use of the system in different languages
- Offline mode required for technicians and operators
What we did
- Using i18n, we integrated multi-language system (English, French and Spanish) on the whole platform
- By creating a mobile application, operators were able to make modifications to their stock while on the field.
