Driving 3PL Efficiency Through WaaS and DaaS

Business Challenge

Launching new customer warehouses requires fast, repeatable deployment of fully connected devices — without the burden of large upfront costs or added IT staffing. At the same time, the 3PL faced growing pressure to deliver real-time operational visibility and order fulfillment accuracy for its customers. They needed a partner who could take ownership of the entire device lifecycle, provide 24/7 production support, and deliver it all through zero-down commercial terms. The objective: new warehouses go live quickly and operate with confidence while driving the visibility and accuracy customers depend on.

The Solution

Levata delivered a complete, ready-to-run technology ecosystem. The managed services model included:

End-to-End Technology Assessment
On-site RF surveys to understand user workflows, coverage gaps, inventory movement patterns, and environmental factors. This allowed the team to architect the right mix of mobile computers, scanners, printers, and wireless networking equipment.

Device Procurement, Configuration, & Kitting
Levata sourced all the hardware for each site. Every device arrived pre-configured with an operating system, essential software, and calibrated security settings—ready for workers to use immediately.

Full Installation & Infrastructure Deployment
Levata installed networking components, access points, switches, printers, and mobile devices across the operation. Verification testing validated successful deployment.

Continuous Managed Support
Levata provides ongoing lifecycle management including: performance monitoring, updates, troubleshooting, RMA management, and rapid spare-pool device replacement. Single-pane-of-glass analytics offer full device support visibility.

Benefits & Results

Predictable monthly pricing, built-in monitoring, and SLA-backed uptime assurance produced measurable improvements:
