The Challenge

A rapidly growing logistics company was constrained by manual testing processes that couldn't keep pace with their expanding warehouse operations.

Primary Challenge

LogiTech Warehousing was spending 50+ hours weekly on manual testing of their warehouse management system. This created bottlenecks in their release cycle, increased operational costs, and allowed critical bugs to slip into production, affecting their ability to scale operations efficiently.

Manual Testing Bottleneck

50+ hours weekly spent on repetitive manual testing processes, severely limiting release frequency and team productivity.

Inconsistent Test Coverage

Human error in manual testing led to inconsistent coverage and critical functionality gaps, resulting in production bugs.

Complex System Integration

WMS integrated with multiple third-party systems (ERP, TMS, inventory systems) requiring comprehensive end-to-end testing.

Scaling Constraints

Manual testing couldn't scale with business growth, creating delays in implementing new features and system enhancements.
