Services

Six ways we help. One goal: simplify your logistics.

Every service starts from the reality on your warehouse floor and ends when your team runs it without us. We work with any WMS or TMS, so our advice is never tied to a product.

Our approach

IT and operations, speaking the same language.

We have run these projects as the operator, the project lead and the WMS implementer. So we translate what the floor needs into what the system must do, and back again.

56%of WMS go-lives run into delays
30%of WMS projects fail
Option 1

A big-name consultancy

Sharp slides and frameworks, but they have never worked a shift in a warehouse.

Option 2

Your warehouse lead

Knows the operation inside out, but running it takes every hour they have.

Option 3 · Ant8

People who have done it from all sides

Operator, analyst, project lead and implementer. We know how systems can serve the operation.

01 · Project management

One go-live, not two camps

IT blames operations, operations blames IT, and the vendor keeps invoicing.

We translate what the floor needs into what IT must build, and keep IT, operations and the vendor working towards one go-live.

56% of WMS go-lives run into delays.

02 · Interim management

Free your team to lead the change

Your managers can’t run the operation and lead a WMS project at the same time. And who takes over when one is out for three months?

We take over part of the daily work or step into a role, for a few days a month or a full transition period.

Senior logistics leaders, for as long as you need us.

03 · Analysis

Know what to fix first

Logistics has been eating your margin for years, but nobody can say where.

We find what matters most before any project starts. Making 5% of your operation twice as good won’t impress your CFO.

A focused analysis in weeks, not a six-month audit.

04 · Network analysis

The right warehouse for every order

With several warehouses, habit decides where an order ships from, not cost.

We model your real shipments and calculate which warehouse and transport mode should serve each region, without overloading any site.

−19% transport cost at a wholesaler with three warehouses.

“The cheapest scenario on paper overloads one warehouse. We advised the one the operation can actually run.”

05 · Expertise on demand

We build it with your team

You need digitisation, KPI dashboards or extra hands, but not a permanent hire.

We work alongside your experts and hand over once they can run it themselves.

Knowledge stays in-house.

06 · AI agents & custom apps

AI agents and custom apps, made for your warehouse

Your people spend hours on work a machine could do.

AI in your workflow

Agents take over repetitive checks, so your people spend their time where their knowledge counts.

AI workflow automation

An agent runs a complete process across your systems. Your team stays in the loop and only handles the exceptions.

Built by our in-house developers, around your systems.

Questions we hear most about Ant8

Does Ant8 work with one WMS vendor?

No. Ant8 is system-agnostic: SAP EWM, Manhattan and many others. Your operation decides which system fits.

We already have an integrator. Why would we need an independent project lead?

The integrator builds the system. Ant8 makes sure it fits your operation and keeps IT, operations and the vendor working towards one go-live.

How is Ant8 different from a big consultancy?

Ant8 only puts senior experts on your project who have done the work themselves, and stays until the solution is built and running.

How does Ant8 charge?

Ant8 works on a day rate for ongoing support and interim roles, or a fixed price for a clearly scoped project.

Is my company too small for Ant8?

No. Ant8 works with companies of any size and sector, from service providers to in-house warehouses.

How fast can Ant8 start?

Ant8 agrees on a start date in the first conversation, based on your timeline and the right expert.

What happens when an Ant8 project ends?

You decide when Ant8 is done. By then your team runs it without us, and we stay reachable.

Who is behind Ant8?

Ant8 is part of the Gembit group, with decades of WMS implementation experience and its own development team.

Can Ant8 help us with AI?

Yes. Ant8 builds AI agents into your workflows, from checking documents to automating a full process with your team in the loop.

We are the partner that walks it with you.
