Implementing a WMS within your organisation can take your business to the next level. However, choosing the right one from the plethora of available solutions can be tricky.
Start by writing down your requirements and define the budget you’re willing to allocate to the project. Set objectives and settle on a licencing model (SaaS, lifetime licence) and software type (cloud-based systems, on-premise).
Cloud-based WMS offer the same benefits as other SaaS solutions. They live online and can thus be accessed anywhere, anytime. They are easier to implement and scale, and updates are done on a regular basis without the need for maintenance.
Consider the following criteria:
- Does it integrate with your existing ERP?
- Is it flexible and evolutive enough?
- Is it suited to your specific business and industry?
- Do you need to customize it to manage complex warehouse processes?
- Is it intuitive and easy to use?
- How long would it take to implement this solution?
