The detail, topic by topic: how we approach it in practice.

Warehouse and terminal

A network for warehouse, dock and quay

A warehouse with high racking, steel shelving and cold rooms is a tricky place for wifi. Even so, handheld scanners, forklift terminals and tablets need a connection everywhere, from the inbound dock to the last aisle. We first measure where the signal drops, then design the network around how your warehouse works.

Office, warehouse, cameras and visitors each get their own network. Drivers waiting at the dock can use the guest network without getting anywhere near your systems. If you have several sites, such as a warehouse at the port and a depot inland, we connect them securely.

  • Wifi coverage measured and matched to racking and docks
  • Separate networks for office, warehouse, cameras and drivers
  • Firewall management and secure remote access for your software suppliers
  • Monitoring of switches, access points and links between sites
  • Internet on board and at the quay, including via Starlink

Systems and integrations

WMS, TMS and customer links that keep running

Your warehouse management system and your transport planning are the heart of the business. We look after the foundation beneath them: servers or cloud, backup, access rights and updates, coordinated with your software supplier. If your WMS still runs on its own server, it can move to ANYBASE, our private cloud in a Tier 3 designed data centre in the European Union. Servers and databases are backed up every night, in our own data centre in the European Union and with an offline copy on tape.

For integrations you also have our own software team. Think of a link between your WMS and your accounts, a customer portal where clients follow the status of their consignment, or automation that removes the need to retype orders.

Continuity and security

Working securely in the logistics chain

Because logistics carries on around the clock, we work proactively. Our monitoring keeps a constant eye on things, and we schedule updates in consultation for times when the warehouse is quiet. If you want someone watching your security at night as well, you can add round-the-clock monitoring. In the Elite edition of Digital Care, our own platform, it comes as standard.

NIS2 applies to part of the sector, for example certain water transport companies, ports and postal and courier services. Businesses outside its scope still get questions from clients who have to secure their own supply chain. With Smart Compliance we record the measures you have in place, and with security awareness training your planners and drivers spot an odd payment request sooner. Infodatek Group itself holds ISO 27001 certification.
