DLA Warehouse Management System (WMS)

DLA WMS SAP software sustained, enhanced and optimized through SAP expertise and collaborative training delivery

Client Challenge

DLA’s Warehouse Management System (WMS) for distribution processing of material is the Distribution Standard System (DSS). DLA required a working lifecycle technical refresh of DSS to better align DLA warehouse and distribution processes with industry standards and simplify storage and distribution requirements.

Groundswell’s Solution

Telesto leveraged our expertise with DLA DSS’s existing SAP software to refresh and optimize Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), Transportation Management (TM), Global Trade Services (GTS), Event Management (EM), Solution Manager (SM), Express Parcel (XPS), ITS Mobile, Process Integrator / Process Optimizer (PI/PO), and Business Objects / Business Warehouse (BO/BW).

Impact Made

Telesto’s expertise in Agile implementation of SAP software provided DLA WMS with a trusted partner to refresh existing components. As a key subcontractor, our team led the system solution and architecture and were key contributors to the Corpus Cristi Go Live. 

“Throughout the implementation process, the workforce at DLA Distribution Corpus Christi continues to test and provide quality control from an end user’s perspective to ensure this new WMS meets the requirements that DLA expects, and that our Warfighters deserve.” (Jeremy M. Beckwith, DDCT deputy commander)  

Telesto continue to provide DLA a competitive alternative to longstanding, traditional SAP suppliers through innovative, cost-efficient, cloud-delivered solutions.

“We will be in great shape as we continue to evolve, and I think it’s worth the energy we are putting in today to demonstrate what the art of the possible is.”

“We have the ability to connect horizontally across the enterprise to create effects that otherwise we could not create.”

“This is a system that will facilitate and allow us to do all of the activities we need to do during all phases of transportation—it will be simple for everyone to track and coordinate movements.”

“To consolidate these systems and streamline processes, Groundswell began a journey of success and over the course of two years, Groundswell TMS proved to increase visibility, reduce the need of cross system intervention for planning and execution, and enhance auditability through integrated finance reporting and detailed change management.”

“This is a great thing for the DOD. It’s one system for all. We won’t be swivel chairing between systems, and it will increase visibility and lower costs.”
Installation Transportation Officer D.J. Eckland
Fort McCoy’s Logistics Readiness Center (LRC) Transportation Division
“Throughout DOD, multiple transportation systems are used, and many don’t communicate effectively with each other. Muller said the TMS prototype creates a possible “one-stop shop” where everyone can communicate in one system and improve capabilities throughout.”

“Telesto is a good implementation partner. When you implement a new system there’s a feeling out period between all parties involved. You go from sort of a generic capability to fine tuning it with yourself, the customer, Telesto, and Transcom to work through the process and make it more efficient. Telesto has a very good understanding of SAP’s TMS product. Connecting all the dots and adding EDI took some time, but Telesto was very responsive to getting all of that done.”
