Armstrong Logistics
Nationwide logistics provider Armstrong Logistics hosts in Six Degrees’ Enterprise Cloud for always-on warehouse operations.
Speak to an ExpertFor a nationwide logistics provider operating 24 hours a day, 363 days a year from the East Midlands, system uptime isn’t just important – it’s business-critical. Armstrong Logistics relies on a bespoke, in-house warehouse management system (WMS) that coordinates everything from order processing to handheld scanning and real-time inventory tracking. As the company grew, this WMS became central to every warehouse operation.
Armstrong Logistics turned to Six Degrees, a long-standing technology partner that already supplied the business with fibre connectivity, mobile services, and Microsoft 365 licensing. Extending that relationship into the cloud space was a logical next step – consolidating core services under one provider to simplify management, enhance accountability, and ensure joined-up technical support.
Since moving to Six Degrees’ Enterprise Cloud with its own dedicated data centre, Armstrong Logistics’ WMS and supporting infrastructure have delivered their best-ever performance. The system now runs faster, more consistently, and more reliably than at any point in the company’s history.

- Simplified IT management. Consolidating Enterprise Cloud, Microsoft CSP, and connectivity services under a single provider gives the IT Manager one point of contact and a cohesive support experience, streamlining operations and reducing administrative overhead.
