According to the 2022 Gartner® Midmarket Context: ‘Magic Quadrant™ for Warehouse Management Systems’, “Midsize enterprises continue to place a premium on ease of use, simplicity, time to value and lower cost of ownership when selecting new or replacement warehouse management systems.”
This isn’t a surprise to Duff Davidson, Made4net CEO, who states, “Today’s midsize enterprises are facing inventory management challenges, labor shortages and budget constraints due to growing operating costs. They need solutions that are easier, faster and less expensive to implement.”
The report suggests, “Key considerations that supply chain technology leaders should weigh up when evaluating and selecting MSE-focused WMS technology and services include:
- WMS vendors with an explicit and demonstrable focus on MSEs
- Vendor WMS domain expertise, especially experience and track record in MSEs
- Deployment model (multicloud preference)
- Intuitive, easy-to-learn and easy to adapt user experience
- Simplicity (use, setup and maintenance)
- TCO
- Shorter time to value/rapid implementation
- Implementation tools embedded in the WMS that help streamline implementation
- Service partner ecosystem
- Ease of integration with upstream (e.g., ERP) and downstream applications (e.g., TMS)”
