French 3PL Log’S has rolled out a new connector linking Shippingbo’s order management system to Hardis Group’s WMS, extending the operator’s ability to absorb omnichannel volumes without overhauling its core warehouse stack. The move builds on an existing partnership that already paired Shippingbo’s OMS and WMS modules for Log’S’s SMB customer segment.
Plugging OMS into a Hardware-Grade WMS
The new piece is a connector between Shippingbo’s OMS and the Hardis WMS Log’S already runs in its sites. The combination lets the Northern France 3PL onboard customers that operate on Hardis WMS and need to open new sales channels quickly, without rebuilding their warehouse execution layer. It also targets prospects looking for what Shippingbo describes as a battle-tested execution engine combined with a lighter, channel-rich OMS.
Anthony Boldt, CIO of Log’S, said the connector delivers three benefits: a more modular architecture with standardised exchanges between OMS and WMS, better data governance, and less reliance on custom developments. The execution layer in the warehouse stays untouched.
Why It Matters For 3PLs
For 3PLs, every new marketplace, retailer EDI or D2C site historically meant another integration project. Shippingbo argues the standardised OMS-to-WMS bridge cuts down on bespoke work, accelerates time-to-channel, and tightens reliability of order, stock and shipment data, including compliance with marketplace terms of use.
Log’S says it will use the connector to reduce both lead time and cost when supporting customers expanding into new sales channels, with no need to revisit prior IT investments or to swap out the WMS.
Industry Signal
The architecture choice fits a broader pattern visible across European 3PLs in 2026: keep the WMS of record, replace the brittle channel-by-channel integrations with a layered OMS, and lean on connectors to glue the stack. The pitch lands well with retailers chasing faster omnichannel rollouts without rewriting their warehouse software.
