Optimizing warehouse operations for DHL
We focused on improving the operations and experience at DHL warehouses, where dozens of workers manage logistics for wine distribution across multiple US states. For this project, we collaborated with Rockethouse, a US-based agency.

Challenge
The warehouse faced a range of operational inefficiencies—from outdated systems with poor UX/UI, to logistical disorganization and connectivity issues. Each location in the warehouse had an ID, but labeling was inconsistent and hard to maintain. Workers and managers struggled with tracking items across inbound, pour-away, returns, transfers, and outbound flows. The existing system made it difficult to maintain control, causing delays and inefficiencies.
Solution
We designed and developed a custom React Native mobile app tailored for warehouse staff and managers, focusing on the frontend. The app includes a high-performance dynamic scanner integrated across all workflows, supporting tasks like receiving, transferring, returning, and tracking items. We helped restructure the warehouse's labeling system, enabling consistent ID reprinting and clearer organization of aisle locations. Additionally, we supported hardware improvements to ensure full Wi-Fi coverage throughout the facility. The new system offers better user control, clear interfaces, and improved internal logistics across all operations.
Outcome
The app improved efficiency and working conditions for dozens of warehouse employees. It streamlined inbound and outbound processes, organized location tracking, and gave both staff and managers better tools to manage daily operations. We delivered the solution on a tight and accurate timeline. The project was a technical challenge we embraced fully, with a strong cross-functional team including a Team Leader, Project Manager, Full Stack Developers, and UX/UI Designers.
This collaboration represents a strong step forward in modernizing warehouse logistics for DHL and its network of wine distribution partners.
