Pyramid Business Studio is a powerful ERP that handles finance, orders, purchasing, and inventory for thousands of Swedish companies. But as order volumes grow and warehouse demands increase, the standard inventory module often stops cutting it.
That's where a WMS comes in.
A WMS ( (Warehouse Management System) is a system built specifically to manage and optimize everything that happens inside the warehouse. From receiving and put-away to picking, packing, and shipping. While your ERP handles the business logic, the WMS manages the day-to-day operational work on the warehouse floor, in real time, via mobile apps and handheld devices.
Unlike an ERP, a WMS is designed to guide warehouse workers through their daily tasks, not to administer them from a desk.
Pyramid's built-in warehouse management works well enough for many businesses. But as order volumes climb, the cracks start to show: pick lists that don't match reality, a higher risk of mispicks, long onboarding times for new staff, and limited options for order consolidation.
The answer is rarely more warehouse workers. It's a better warehouse system.
The integration between Pyramid and Bitlog WMS was developed by one of our partners, Giza Solutions, who specialize in Pyramid Business Studio. That means the people who built the connection actually understand how Pyramid is used in real businesses, not just on paper.
For warehouse managers, that translates to one thing above all: no more double work.
Items, orders, and purchases are automatically available in Bitlog WMS as soon as they're entered in Pyramid. No manual data entry. No reminding the office team to update the system. It just happens, in real time.
And it works just as smoothly in the other direction. When your team completes a receiving task, carries out a transfer, or closes a pick order, it's recorded directly in Pyramid as a proper transaction. The order is ready to invoice without you lifting a finger.
Does someone need to manually create pick orders in Bitlog WMS? No. The moment an order is placed in Pyramid, it shows up in Bitlog WMS, ready to be picked, moved, or inventoried.
What happens when picking is done? The order is automatically closed in Pyramid and ready for invoicing. No manual registration needed.
What about when you receive a delivery? Inventory levels update in both systems instantly. No recounting or after-the-fact corrections.
Once the integration is live, warehouse workers operate entirely within Bitlog's mobile app (available for both iOS and Android). The app guides users through each step via predefined rules and workflows, which means new team members can get up and running in minutes rather than days.
The brain of the system is Bitlog's Autopilot, a rules-based optimization engine that every three minutes calculates, generates, and sorts optimized pick lists based on available inventory, incoming purchase orders, customer-requested delivery dates, and volume and weight constraints.
The result is a warehouse that largely runs itself.
Iain Wilson from Vårdväskan put it this way in an interview with us:
"Bitlog WMS frees up my time, and my team's time, and lets us get more involved in the wider business and feel more like part of the Vårdväskan family."
Bitlog's customers see an average 30-45% improvement in warehouse efficiency after integrating Pyramid with Bitlog WMS. And by enabling automatic order consolidation, the number of shipments can drop by 10-30%, which has a direct impact on shipping costs.
Hulténs, an e-commerce retailer of furniture and garden products with significant seasonal peaks, was one of the first companies to go live with Bitlog WMS alongside the Pyramid integration. Since the 2022 implementation, they've handled higher order volumes with the same headcount, and can easily bring in seasonal staff who get up to speed in just minutes.
A WMS like Bitlog is a particularly good fit if you're running Pyramid and recognize yourself in any of the following:
You've hit the ceiling with Pyramid's standard warehouse module
You're managing high order volumes
Your business has a seasonal rhythm
You want better traceability with LOT numbers (Batch), best-before dates, or serial numbers
You're planning for future automation like AutoStore
If that sounds like you, you're in the right place. The best part? You don't need to replace your ERP. Pyramid stays at the core of your business, and Bitlog WMS takes care of the warehouse.
