Built to Stay Running.

ORCA is Synergy Logistics' next-generation hybrid warehouse management system (WMS), designed to combine local warehouse execution with cloud-based intelligence. Its architecture supports operational resilience, automation orchestration, real-time warehouse workflows, and AI-assisted decision-making. ORCA helps businesses manage increasingly complex warehouse operations while reducing their dependence on continuous cloud connectivity for critical execution processes.

Traditional cloud-based warehouse management systems typically depend on continuous connectivity to cloud-hosted services for warehouse execution. ORCA takes a hybrid approach, running critical warehouse workflows locally on compact edge servers while maintaining an active connection to the cloud.

This architecture combines responsive local execution with cloud-based intelligence and backup capabilities. If cloud connectivity is disrupted, critical warehouse processes can continue running locally, helping minimize the operational impact of an outage.

No. Unlike traditional on-premise warehouse management systems that often require substantial server infrastructure, ORCA uses compact edge servers located within the warehouse.

These small, purpose-built servers handle critical warehouse execution locally without the complexity of maintaining a traditional on-premise WMS environment. ORCA combines this lightweight local infrastructure with cloud-based services for centralized visibility, intelligence, and backup capabilities.

ORCA is designed to maintain critical warehouse execution during cloud connectivity disruptions. Under normal operating conditions, local edge servers and cloud services work together, supporting responsive warehouse workflows, centralized intelligence, and active backup capabilities.

If the connection to the cloud is interrupted, critical execution processes continue running on the local edge servers rather than waiting for cloud connectivity to be restored. Cloud-dependent capabilities may be temporarily unavailable, but warehouse operations can continue locally, subject to the availability of the facility's infrastructure.

ORCA is designed to deliver responsive warehouse execution by processing critical operational workflows locally, close to the equipment and activities they support.

Rather than depending on continuous communication with a remote cloud server for every execution task, ORCA uses local edge processing alongside cloud-based intelligence and backup capabilities. This approach supports real-time warehouse operations while reducing the risk that connectivity disruptions will interrupt critical workflows.

Yes. ORCA includes native automation orchestration capabilities designed to coordinate warehouse robotics, conveyors, sortation systems, goods-to-person technology, and manual workflows within a unified system.

By bringing automated and traditional warehouse processes together, ORCA helps businesses coordinate material movements, improve operational efficiency, and manage increasingly automated fulfillment environments.

Unlike SnapFulfil, which works with Synergy's SnapControl orchestration platform, ORCA incorporates automation orchestration directly into is WMS architecture.

ORCA incorporates AI-assisted intelligence to help warehouse teams interpret operational data, identify potential issues, monitor performance, and make more informed decisions.

Its capabilities include advanced analytics, operational guidance, and AI-assisted support. These tools help businesses move beyond traditional reporting toward actionable warehouse intelligence, giving teams greater visibility into operations and supporting faster, more informed decision-making.

Yes. ORCA is designed to support multi-site warehouse networks and complex third-party logistics (3PL) operations.

Its hybrid architecture combines local execution at individual facilities with centralized cloud-based visibility and analytics, helping businesses monitor performance and coordinate operations across multiple locations.

For 3PL providers, ORCA also supports multi-client inventory management, customer-specific workflows, billing, and customer portal capabilities, helping logistics providers manage multiple customers within their warehouse operations.

Yes. ORCA is designed to integrate with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and other business applications to support the exchange of inventory, order, and operational information.

These integrations help connect warehouse execution with broader business processes, improving data consistency and operational visibility. Specific integration requirements depend on the applications involved, the information being exchanged, and the customer's technical environment.

Both ORCA and SnapFulfil are warehouse management systems developed by Synergy Logistics, but they use different architectures.

SnapFulfil is a proven, configurable cloud-based WMS designed for rapid implementation, flexible warehouse workflows, and efficient fulfillment operations. It can work with SnapControl to coordinate warehouse robotics and automation.

ORCA is a hybrid WMS that combines local execution on compact edge servers with cloud connectivity, intelligence, and active backup capabilities. It also incorporates automation orchestration and AI-assisted decision intelligence directly into its architecture.

The right choice depends on your warehouse requirements, operational complexity, automation needs, and long-term technology strategy.
