WMS software provides solutions for companies looking to streamline operations, increase efficiency and reduce costs.
WMS uses tools such as mobile devices, barcoding, and RFID scanning/sensing to deliver accurate and complete real-time information. Applications may be cloud-based, often on a subscription model, or be offered as an on-premise solution.
Running warehouse, logistics and operations efficiently without some type of warehouse management system (WMS) is time-consuming, error-prone, and unlikely to satisfy business objectives. The right WMS solution will reduce operating expenses, provide clear visibility into the storage and movement of goods, increase security and strengthen relationships with suppliers and customers.
Getting to know what your business is going through will help to identify the most suitable WMS. As a Consultancy company, we have been put in the position of helping clients to choose a WMS software for the first time or review and replace a WMS that was not affective. Get to know more on our WMS White Paper and understand how we are doing the WMS selection.
Warehouse Management solutions typically provide similar core functionality including:
Despite the core functionality being similar, WMS products vary dramatically in their total functional breadth, scope, ease of implementation, their extended capabilities, flexibility and the ability of the solution to match a particular industry or operation.
Our team of warehouse consultants includes experts in warehouse management system (WMS) specification, selection, and implementation.
All WMS products have their own market areas where they work best (even the market leaders). A “Bad WMS” is often the application of the wrong WMS to the wrong situation, or a poor implementation, rather than a fundamental failing of the WMS itself.
Success of a WMS implementation at one facility does not mean that it will be successful at a different facility. An understanding of your strategy regarding route to market, logistics strategy and likely level of automation is required, along with an appreciation of the company’s wider systems environment and IT policies. You may select a WMS module from your ERP vendor, a standalone WMS, or a product with automation focus. Once again it is a question of determining what is best for your situation.
An initial requirements gathering process involving operational, project and IT stakeholders and putting together ‘user-stories’ will feed into a structured tender process, working with an appropriate vendor list to arrive at a decision based on a balanced scorecard of criteria.
Our WMS consultants can help with:
Understanding what you require for your WMS project is very important as you will need to find the right WMS company that can solve your warehouse issues. When looking at a WMS project, there should be a couple of questions that would need to be responded and that’s why SCCG comes in handy with a WMS selection White Paper that can help you to understand what to look at when choosing a Warehouse Management System software and how a consultancy company should help you with this.
