Pharma WMS
Warehouse management system for pharmaceutical distribution
The Problem
A pharmaceutical distributor was managing warehouse operations across multiple facilities with spreadsheets and legacy tools. Compliance errors were common, inventory was unreliable, and scaling to new facilities meant duplicating manual processes.
The Approach
I designed a real-time warehouse management system with barcode-driven workflows, automated compliance checks, and multi-facility inventory synchronization. Every movement is audited. Every temperature excursion is flagged instantly.
The Architecture
Rails API with React frontend. PostgreSQL for transactional data with Redis pub/sub for real-time updates. Background jobs handle compliance reporting, inventory reconciliation, and facility sync. The system processes thousands of transactions per hour with sub-second response times.
The Results
98% reduction in compliance incidents. 3x faster order fulfillment. Successfully scaled from 1 to 4 facilities without architecture changes. The system now handles $200M+ in annual pharmaceutical distribution.
