Time for a New Warehouse Management System? Ten Points to Consider

Your Warehouse Management System

So you’ve decided that you have outgrown your current Warehouse Management System (WMS) and you are weighing the benefits of staying with it and upgrading to the newest version versus pulling up stakes completely and going with another provider’s solution.

You’re not alone and sometimes the answer isn’t very clear.

Can We? Should We? Why Mess With A Good Thing? Well, maybe it’s a Mediocre Thing

How Do You Begin?

A good place to start can be asking yourself why you are considering the switch.

Is it functionality? Or the costs? Are modifications too expensive to maintain? Are you disappointed with the relationship with your current vendor? Maybe you are implementing other new software and systems and it seems like the time is right to evaluate other WMS options?

Whatever your reason, take a step back and consider what you like best and what your challenges are with your current WMS provider.

When searching for a new solution, many people focus too heavily on the software and not enough on the relationship to be built with their software provider.

This relationship is vital to your success and should stand front and center in your solution choice.

The Three Most Important Things To Look For In Your WMS Provider Are:

1. The Relationship. You’re in this together. Will you have each other’s backs?
2. Technology that meets your functional needs today.
3. Vision and technology platform to meet your needs as your business evolves.
