Logistics provider Ninja Van Malaysia has teamed up with American multinational technology firm Zebra Technologies Corporation to accelerate warehouse operations and fulfillment speed.
Ninja Van said in a statement on Wednesday that it has modernized its fulfilment operations with Zebra’s warehousing solutions.
To consolidate workflows, Ninja Van Malaysia implemented the cloud-native AC2 WAVE Warehouse Management System (WMS) in partnership with Zebra PartnerConnect independent software vendor (ISV) AC2 WAVE.
To ensure seamless execution on the warehouse floor, the company deployed Zebra’s TC2 series mobile computers, giving warehouse workers mobile access to the WMS, as well as Zebra’s ZD200 series desktop printers.
This integrated solution connects the frontline from picking to final dispatch.
Workers use the TC2 devices for real-time guidance on inventory locations, improving asset visibility. After picking, items are labelled at packing stations using ZD200 printers.
Ninja Van utilizes both thermal transfer and direct thermal technology within the ZD200 series to support specific operational use cases, instantly producing the accurate labels needed for correct parcel routing.
It is noted that Ninja Van Malaysia currently serves nearly 25 million recipients nationwide.
As the company scaled to serve both e-commerce and business to business (B2B) clients, the complexity of its fulfilment operations grew.
This created a need for agile, automated solutions to keep pace with high order volumes, diverse client requirements, and time-critical dispatch schedules without peak-period lag.
“With faster scanning and a system that keeps everything flowing seamlessly, our operations are now smoother, more efficient, and truly exceptional,” said Tzi Zhao Lee, Director of Supply Chain and Partnerships, Ninja Van Malaysia.
“Instead of waiting for the system to catch up, things just move. I can now spend less time at the warehouse troubleshooting, as things take care of themselves,
“There is less frustration, people are happier, and they keep their momentum going throughout the shift,” he added.
It is noted that this combined strength of Zebra devices and AC2 WAVE WMS has driven a noticeable improvement in operational speed and accuracy.
Operators are now comfortably handling 30 to 60 scans per minute – effectively doubling previous scanning speeds as they rapidly process individual items across thousands of daily orders.
Furthermore, the reliability of the ZD200 printers helps ensure that labels remain legible throughout the delivery journey, contributing to the virtual elimination of customer complaints regarding missed or delayed deliveries.
“Malaysia’s rapidly growing digital economy places immense pressure on logistics providers to deliver with unprecedented speed and accuracy,” said Kym Lim, Country Manager for Malaysia and Brunei, Zebra Technologies.
“Ninja Van Malaysia’s success is a powerful example of how equipping a connected frontline with the right technology can drive significant operational modernization,
“Zebra’s warehousing solutions with the robust AC2 WAVE WMS have enabled Ninja Van to overcome critical peak-volume challenges, empowering its workers to deliver reliable, exceptional service,” he added.
