WMS Checklist

After all, the ecommerce surge, which has been largely attributed to the COVID-19 global pandemic, continues to break historical records and overwhelm businesses with each passing year. As a result, businesses have had to accept that the only real way to remain competitive is to meet rising demand head-on.

The solution? Replace outdated legacy programs with competitive warehouse management systems (WMS). 

WMS software offers visibility into the entire inventory and fulfillment process, which can be leveraged for more informed decision-making. It helps manage supply chain operations and all the various stages online orders pass through on their way to individual buyers. To process inventory quickly and efficiently, you need the organizational assistance WMS platforms provide. 

Put plainly, it does not matter if you are an online brand or 3PL, 4PL, wholesaler, or distributor, – adopting better WMS software will help you meet consumer demand, achieve higher operational efficiency and grow your current fulfillment network. The real question is how do you choose the best fitting WMS for your business? 

WMS software varies in capability and no two platforms are exactly the same. That’s why, as you seek to improve your operations, it is important to weigh the pros and cons of each WMS system you’re considering while focusing on the criteria most important to you. Adopting a new WMS is a big step for any organization, so it is key you are able to make an informed decision. That’s where a WMS Requirements Checklist comes in handy. 

When beginning your WMS journey, the first step is to figure out what capabilities your business needs to be successful. As the leading solution for high-volume, DTC fulfillment, Logiwa has years of experience helping businesses determine whether or not their current WMS system is holding them back. We have encountered the ups and downs of fulfillment operations first-hand and are confident we can help you determine the right WMS for your business. 

In our WMS Requirements Checklist, we break down the key elements to focus on as you explore your WMS options.
