Executive summary
Istho serves companies with transport, logistics, and warehousing; inventory accuracy and service reliability are central to customer value. After exhausting market solutions that never quite fit, the organization kicked off a strategic program with CINNCO: build a WMS as the core of the business — wired to operations, to the service promise, and to the digital experience of clients and partners. Technology shifts from a side cost to a core business process.
The challenge
Running logistics and warehousing at scale created pressures that standard packages struggled to resolve:
- Fatigue with market tools that could not fully reflect real processes, roles, and exceptions.
- Risk that inventory, warehouse, and customer touchpoints depend on spreadsheets, chats, and misaligned systems.
- Expectations for service quality and digital experience — visibility and responsiveness — without compromising security or continuity.
- Need for a platform that can grow and adapt without traumatic rip-and-replace cycles every few years.
Why CINNCO
- Custom product depth: we ground the work in warehouse, inventory, and chain realities before UI work begins.
- End-to-end strategic delivery aligned to business priorities, not a generic software checklist.
- Continuous evolution: treating the WMS as a living capability as clients, SLAs, and floor operations change.
The solution
We designed and built with Istho a WMS intended as the operational core:
- Process models for storage, movements, and stock control aligned with the CEDI and network.
- Workflows and data that underpin the service promise — less guesswork internally, better inputs for customer-facing experience.
- Architecture and delivery practices that support iteration: integrations, reporting, and improvements without long vendor lock-in.
- UX tuned for logistics and admin teams — adoption as a goal, not an afterthought.
Impact & results
Impact
- A proprietary logistics core shaped for Istho instead of forcing the business into foreign ERP/WMS molds.
- A stronger foundation for service quality with inventory and operations in one coherent frame.
- A more dependable digital experience for customers and stakeholders who rely on visibility and execution.
- An organizational shift: technology as part of the strategic process, not a reactive patch.
Looking ahead
We continue evolving the WMS and digital capabilities with Istho: integrations, warehouse-flow optimization, and customer experience as operations grow across Antioquia and the partner ecosystem.
“We went from being exhausted by off-the-shelf options to owning our core — technology is now a key business process, not an afterthought.”
