Challenges
Their existing solution was too complex and inflexible to accommodate the evolving and growing needs of this SME business.
Before finding Tasklet, Meerkötter tried and tested other solutions that didn’t meet their warehousing needs. As the company has grown significantly since 2008, so did their need for a flexible and customizable ERP system. Meerkötter chose the industry-specific ERP solution Gevis ERP, designed for the wholesale sector. Built on this powerful foundation, Tasklet Mobile WMS was added in 2024, and the team hasn’t looked back.
Their existing solution was too complex and inflexible to accommodate the evolving and growing needs of this SME business.
A flexible solution with the latest features that can grow with the needs of the company. The combination of Tasklet Mobile WMS and gevis ERP as a wholesale-specific ERP platform provided the ideal setup.
With Tasklet Mobile WMS, fully integrated into gevis ERP (based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central), Meerkötter received a modern, industry, focused solution that reduced
warehouse errors and improved usability.
After working with a larger, more complex – and more expensive solution, Meerkötter needed a WMS solution that fit the smaller size of their operation without unnecessary complexity. The combination of gevis ERP industry solution and Tasklet met these needs perfectly and offered a competitive price point.
To continue growing, Meerkötter needed warehouse performance that matched larger competitors without unnecessary complexity. With a wide assortment of products, picking accuracy was critical.
“Our challenge is that we need to keep up with the efficiency and reliability of the big players in the market. At the same time, we have a very wide product range, and previously, we often had the issue that untrained employees picked the wrong products or even the wrong quantities.” – Tim Meerkötter, Managing Director
With Tasklet, Meerkötter introduced simple, guided warehouse workflows with digital controls to support accurate picking and consistent execution, helping the team deliver the speed and reliability customers expect, while staying scalable. As Tim Meerkötter shares:
“Overall, the WMS allows us to work efficiently and ensures high quality in our logistics processes with a very low error rate. And for me, one of the most important points is that the system makes us scalable and prevents any bottlenecks in logistics.”
Now, the entire logistics process is handled with Tasklet Mobile WMS from receiving goods to creating outbound delivery notes. Meerkötter processes stock transfers and parallel picking of multiple orders simultaneously, achieving efficiency and speed.
A smooth implementation was especially important for Meerkötter, given how disruptive WMS changes can be in daily operations. With Tasklet Mobile WMS, the team experienced a notably stable rollout and was able to run their warehouse processes as planned from day one.
“To be honest, the whole process went much easier and better than I expected. From day one, the solution ran smoothly, and we were able to handle all processes on the go-live date.” – Tim Meerkötter
For Meerkötter, innovation and adopting new technology are part of their business identity, making the partnership with Tasklet a natural fit. With Tasklet, Meerkötter is well positioned to scale and adapt as requirements evolve. At Tasklet, we’re proud to support customers like Meerkötter who use modern solutions to simplify warehouse operations.
