Excerpt from Logistics Viewpoints
The average cost of a Warehouse Management System (WMS) install continues to rise each year, with implementations often reaching millions of dollars today. But here’s the good news: this doesn’t have to be the reality for your warehouse operations. When searching for a new WMS, the first step is to gain a full understanding of your warehouse’s complexity. This is the best way to ensure you don’t overbuy or underbuy a solution, avoiding unnecessary costs or missing critical functionality. It’s an oft-quoted saying in IT: 80 percent of customers only use 20 percent of the features in the software they’ve purchased. By aligning your WMS choice with your actual operational needs, you can avoid paying for features you won’t use while ensuring your investment delivers maximum value.
