6 Tips to Know Before Choosing a WMS

When it comes to choosing the right WMS for your warehouse, there’s a lot to consider and a lot of pressure. Selecting and successfully implementing the WMS that is the best fit for your needs can make you a company hero. Choosing the wrong system could have you searching for a new job. Finding the right solution and implementing it in a timely manner are both important, because just as picking the wrong system can cause major issues, delaying too long can also lead to lost revenue opportunities.

Let’s apply the “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” principle: you want to find a WMS that fits “Just Right.” Too big, and you might be paying a premium for the name and for features that you don’t use. And you might end up working with a vendor who is too big, and you don’t get the attention you need. Too small, and your solution might not meet your functional needs, or it could meet your needs today, but you might quickly outgrow it. So, finding the WMS that is Just Right for your operations will take a little research.
