Case study · Lanta LLC
The 3PL that got tired of nine systems — so it built one.
How an operating third-party logistics provider replaced a stack of disconnected tools with FlowOps and put its whole operation — warehouse to wheels to the books — on a single screen.
Nine logins to get through one day
Lanta LLC handles warehousing, cross-dock and transload, dispatch, and delivery for e-commerce and B2B shippers. Meeting customer SLAs, staying DOT-compliant, and simply getting through daily tasks meant the team lived in nine different systems at once.
Inventory tracked in spreadsheets. Orders in the store admin. Dispatch on a whiteboard. Driver pay reconciled from texts and memory. Bills of lading printed, then inventory adjusted by hand — twice. Every handoff was a chance to re-key a number wrong, and every week ended with stock counts that were already off and drivers disputing their pay. The real cost wasn't the software licenses. It was the burnout.
One platform, built from the floor up
Rather than bolt on a tenth tool, Lanta built FlowOps — and moved the entire operation onto it. Each fix came straight from a real problem on the floor.
- Inventory scattered across spreadsheets→Real-time stock by SKU & location, fully audited
- BOLs printed, inventory adjusted by hand→Paperwork and inventory close out together
- Driver pay from texts and memory→Weekly settlements, no more disputes
- Orders re-keyed between systems→Shopify & Amazon sync both ways, no re-keying
- Bills, receipts & bank statements keyed in by hand→Read in automatically, nothing keyed by hand
- Payments tracked apart from the invoices→Every payment tracked against its invoice
- Customers calling "where's my order?"→Self-service portal scoped to each customer
- Nine separate logins→One system. One source of truth
What changed
The team got back 40+ hours a week that used to disappear into re-keying the same numbers across nine systems — time now spent on customers instead of copy-paste.
One source of truth
The floor, dispatch, and billing all read the same live data — so a number entered once is right everywhere.
Inventory that posts itself
Stock moves with the paperwork. No more double-keying behind every shipment.
Payday without disputes
Drivers see approved pay and receive a settlement receipt every week — the end-of-week reconciliation is gone.
Books that keep up
Invoices, bills, expenses and bank statements sit next to the work that created them. A/R and A/P totals are always current.
Every payment in one place
Every payment, online or off, is recorded against its invoice, so what is owed and what is paid are never in question.
Fewer status calls
Customers check their own inventory, orders, and documents in a scoped portal instead of calling the desk.
We built FlowOps from the everyday reality of running an operation — one platform that does the whole job, priced so an operator can actually afford it.
