Geekplus picks Boomi AtomSphere for logistics automation

Geekplus, which has held the top market share in Japan for four consecutive years in automated guided vehicles (AGV), has selected the Boomi AtomSphere Platform to automate its smart logistics platform.

Geekplus was established in Japan in 2017 as a joint venture between Beijing Geekplus Technology Company, a unicorn with the world's largest market share in autonomous mobile robots (AMR), and Japanese capital. The company contributes to improving the corporate value of logistics companies by providing services such as sales, installation, 24 x 7 x 365 maintenance, and productivity improvement consulting. It has customers in retail, apparel, pharmaceuticals, automotive, lithium batteries, photovoltaics, electronics, and more in thousands of locations worldwide, and approximately a hundred in Japan. 

The company wanted to expand and generate new revenue streams to lead the company into its next phase of growth. One such revenue-enhancing project is a smart logistics platform built in-house for its shippers and third-party logistics (3PL) providers. Faced with the complexity of various data formats and the introduction of technologies such as Internet of things (IoT), Geekplus needed a tool to simplify and streamline the integration of all its applications and data.

“We are aiming to co-create a new logistics standard by utilising next-generation robotics technology to solve the increasingly serious labour shortage in Japan and the gap between the growth of ecommerce demand and the growth of physical volume,” said Yusuke Arima, System Development Group, Geekplus. 

“After evaluating various integration platforms, Geekplus chose Boomi’s intelligent, low-code, cloud-native platform for its versatility, development speed, and ease of use. The Boomi platform will enable us to connect our operations with our shippers, suppliers, and partners, while mitigating potential real-time supply chain issues.”

“Geekplus is shaping the smart logistics revolution and needed a unified integration solution to remove complexities,” said Kazunori Hori, Director, Japan at Boomi, an intelligent connectivity and automation provider. 

“Our platform provides a single conduit of data sets across all technologies and processes throughout their global partner network, allowing Geekplus to quickly and easily connect with its shipping and 3PLs’ operating and warehouse systems.”
