Weleda implemented Tasklet’s Mobile WMS solution to save time and reduce warehouse errors. The integration directly into Microsoft Dynamics NAV has helped Weleda process orders faster and more accurately, from receiving to picking to putting them away. Having moved from paper-based operations, they have significantly increased efficiency and reduced errors.

An out-of-the-box Mobile WMS solution from Tasklet, with no need for additional adjustments.
A quick setup because the solution is 100% integrated with their existing ERP system. Up and running from day one.
They work faster, are more efficient, and make a lot fewer mistakes.
They can trace all items right from receiving, picking, and putting away.
LOT numbers make it easy for all warehouse workers to locate the correct items.
Weleda wanted to use mobile scanners in its warehouse to track items more efficiently. In their search for a new WMS solution, they sought functionality that would meet their needs and improve warehouse tracking efficiency.
After implementing Tasklet Mobile WMS, Weleda is now capable of tracking received and picked orders in the warehouse, adding significant value to their operations. Onno Rietveld, IT Manager at Weleda, elaborates on why they chose Tasklet:
“We wanted a warehouse management solution where we could use scanners at our warehouse, so we could keep better track of receive, put-away, and pick orders. The goal for us was to do things faster, make fewer mistakes, and save some time, and we already have some assumptions about how much time we will save.”
Weleda considered many different providers of WMS solutions during their decision process. However, Tasklet Mobile WMS was the only solution that fully integrated with their existing Microsoft NAV ERP system, which made it the obvious choice for the company.
HB Software, Weleda’s ERP partner, facilitated the implementation of the solution in MS Dynamics NAV.
In addition to the integration into NAV, Onno Rietveld shares thoughts on the standardized WMS solution from Tasklet:
“The WMS solution from Tasklet Factory was almost ready from the start - no customization was needed, as Mobile WMS is an out-of-the-box solution, and we are very happy with it.”
With the implementation of Tasklet Mobile WMS, Weleda has gone from a paper-based setup to fully digitalized warehouse operations, where every item is scanned with mobile devices. Scanning every incoming and outgoing item has resulted in a significantly reduced number of errors. With the use of LOT numbers, Weleda’s warehouse workers always know where to find items, whether they are receiving, picking, or putting them away.
“At Weleda, we work with LOT numbers, and with this scanning solution, we have reduced the number of errors,” Onno Rietveld explains.
The goal Weleda had in mind when implementing Tasklet Mobile WMS was to increase efficiency and improve accuracy. The results have been an easier workflow and optimized item tracking in the warehouse, resulting in time saved and a significantly reduced error rate.
Along with this achievement and underlining the immense value that Weleda has experienced after implementing Tasklet’s solution, Onno Rietveld expects the return of investment to follow shortly:
“I expect we will experience a fast ROI. The many hours we spent on ineffective work before implementing the Mobile WMS solution from Tasklet didn’t give us any value for our business.”
Weleda's goal is to preserve, strengthen, and restore human health. What started in 1921 as a pharmaceutical laboratory with its own medicinal plant garden is today a world-leading manufacturer of holistic natural cosmetics and medicines for anthroposophical therapy.
With a high number of orders going out of the warehouse every day, it is essential for Weleda to manage their warehouse as efficiently as possible.
Goodmark Nurseries achieves 50% efficiency in the harvest and tagging process with Tasklet Mobile WMS, resulting in a 25% increase in production and the ability to expand without hiring additional labor.
