EMIL EGGER Group integrates all five 3PL locations with clients into a unified WMS solution

The multi-site and multi-client solution delivers new performance in warehouse logistics, shipping and billing. Within just three weeks, the complete onboarding of a client with more than 5,000 items was achieved. At the same time, the replacement of the previous WMS was used to specifically optimize warehouse processes.

Kobern-Gondorf, 08.10.2026. The warehouse management software plx.wmx® from PureLoX SOLUTIONS has been in use at EMIL EGGER Group since 2025. It maps different locations, clients and warehouse processes within a single software instance. The overall solution combines plx.wmx® with the shipping software plx.smx, the billing software plx.billing and the existing TMS. The deciding factors in choosing PureLoX were the forward-looking software architecture and the team's experience with the complex requirements of logistics service providers.

Five 3PL locations, one unified WMS solution

EMIL EGGER Group is one of the largest logistics service providers in Switzerland. The family-owned company employs more than 800 people at a total of eleven locations and offers services in general cargo, heavy goods and warehouse logistics. More than 160,000 square meters of space are available for storage. Five 3PL locations bring together different storage types, processes and clients.

When the previous warehouse management system was no longer being further developed, EMIL EGGER took the opportunity to redefine the requirements for its warehouse logistics. The company sought a Solution that maps multiple locations and clients within a single installation, integrates existing systems and also supports future automation projects. An important consideration was finding a partner who understands logistics in practice and provides expert guidance on process optimization.

Step-by-step rollout by location and client

At the start of the implementation process, a joint project team was formed from experts at EMIL EGGER and PureLoX. The experts first conducted a joint assessment of the halls, storage types, processes and client structures at each location. From this, they developed a cross-location concept.

The software was installed on EMIL EGGER's servers in St. Gallen. The other locations are connected via VPN. Within this shared installation, the requirements of each location and its clients can be mapped individually. Originally, the rollout was planned to begin in Härkingen. When a new hall with a fully automated high-bay warehouse in Avenches went into operation earlier than planned, the joint project team flexibly adjusted the sequence. The rollout began there with one client in a manual warehouse. Additional clients and the connection of the automated high-bay warehouse were prepared, configured and tested before go-live. Planning and work for other locations proceeded in parallel.

The implementation took place during ongoing operations. Training, testing and go-live support were closely coordinated with EMIL EGGER. How quickly an onboarding can be completed was demonstrated with a client with more than 5,000 items: within just three weeks, individual processes and interfaces were configured and all inventory data was fully transferred. PureLoX supported this step on-site during two-shift operations to ensure a smooth process. Trained key users at EMIL EGGER will be able to independently configure and integrate additional clients in the future.

For heavy goods and long goods logistics, experts from PureLoX and EMIL EGGER jointly developed a special collo handling process and integrated it into the software. Here, the project number serves as the consistent key from goods receipt to goods issue. In addition, all dimensions (length, width, height) are recorded at goods receipt, as this data is essential for billing.

"Our software architecture is designed to be so flexible that we can implement new requirements quickly. This applies to shifting priorities within the project or to different clients. As a software partner, we align ourselves with the requirements of our customers. At EMIL EGGER's request, we supported the majority of processes directly on-site in Switzerland and handled a smaller portion of the project remotely," says Mirco Blatt, Head of Customer Success & Operations and project manager at PureLoX.

Flexible foundation for future developments

The new overall solution enables EMIL EGGER to manage warehouse processes across locations and to map the individual requirements of each client. New workflows, additional clients and further systems can be integrated flexibly. Even after the implementation, the PureLoX team continues to support the logistics service provider with adjustments and during ongoing operations.

PureLoX follows a one-version strategy for its software solutions. Four major releases of plx.wmx® are issued annually. New features and developments are incorporated into the standard software and are therefore also available in EMIL EGGER's customized solution. The development roadmap also includes AI applications for various areas of use. One example is the AI assistant "Tekkie". It will answer questions about the software and provide users with quick support during use.

Martin Aregger, member of the executive management at EMIL EGGER and branch manager in Härkingen, reflects: "EMIL EGGER Group stands for many years of experience in logistics and a strong customer focus. It was therefore particularly important to us to have a partner at our side during the implementation of an integrated multi-site solution: one who operates at eye level with an understanding of real-world logistics processes and responds to our requirements. With PureLoX SOLUTIONS, we found exactly that partner. Our decision has been confirmed."

With the new unified WMS solution, EMIL EGGER Group is very well positioned for the future of its warehouse logistics. The software foundation makes it possible to scale dynamically and to flexibly integrate future automation and AI solutions.
