Description

Pyck is an open source toolkit for warehousing software that enables logistics-driven companies to design, adapt, and extend their processes independently. It gradually replaces rigid WMS systems, boosting flexibility, reducing costs, and accelerating adoption of AI and robotic automation.

The toolkit consists of three core components:

1. API-first core (soon to be open-sourced) for managing data, connecting third-party systems, and supporting multi-tenancy and multi-location setups.Pro code process builder based on the ISO-certified standard BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation), empowering logistics experts to model unique processes. Users can build from templates or create/import their own. An AI consultant assists in refining models, which are transformed into software in collaboration with AI and developers. As AI advances in generating code blocks, development of unique warehousing software accelerates massively.
2. Warehouse UIs and applications, including Mobile Picking App, Control Centers with workflow visualizations and KPIs, Data Manager, dashboards, and support for any custom UI.
3. Pyck integrates AI, robotics, and automation tools via a public GraphQL API and JSON schemas. It restores ownership of processes and data to users, while offering SaaS or on-premise deployment. Pyck also provides service, support, and AI-powered features to scale and optimize its customer’s logistics.

Innovations

The core innovation of Pyck lies in its toolkit-based approach that leverages AI to design warehouse processes and automatically derive software from them. Unlike conventional WMS solutions, Pyck is not a cumbersome monolithic system dictating workflows. Instead, it empowers logistics experts to independently build, adapt, and extend processes, datasets, and user interfaces – without relying on the vendor or specialized software developers.

With the upcoming open source release, Pyck ensures transparency, minimizes vendor lock-in, and gives companies full control over their warehouse software.
Once users experience Pyck, they will have no reason to return to a traditional monolithic WMS.

Market relevance

The logistics industry faces increasing pressure to innovate while keeping costs under control, adapting to global supply chain shifts, safeguarding against cyberattacks, becoming more sustainable, and addressing labor shortages.
Yet many companies remain tied to rigid, expensive WMS solutions that slow down adaptation and hinder operational excellence. Another monolithic WMS cannot solve this problem, because every warehouse is unique, shaped by sector, product range, location, layout, operating model, and sales channels.

Pyck offers a way out. Unlike the hundreds of standardized WMS systems on the market, Pyck does not impose one-size-fits-all and leave customers struggling with the daily challenges of logistics. Instead, it provides a flexible, AI-driven toolkit that enables businesses to design and adapt warehouse processes to their specific needs.
Customers expect software that fits their business, not software that dictates how they must work.

Customer benefits

Pyck gives customers independence from proprietary vendors, full control over their warehouse IT and data, and the flexibility to adapt and extend processes at any time. The main benefits are:

• Total control: Users optimize, scale, and update on their own terms.Fast deployment: Customers implement changes or go live in days, not months
• No lock-ins: Users benefit from open source freedom and a versionless architecture with zero downtime dictated by vendor’s release cycles.
• No dependencies on a single provider: an open architecture, the freedom of open source, and a versionless system without downtime caused by externally imposed release cycles.
• Higher profitabilty: Users receive a lean software that perfectly matches their business.
