WMS. WCS. WES. Let’s face it: the industry faces a W_S acronym overload—to the point even the most seasoned warehouse professionals can find the software market a confusing scene.
After all, the lines that separate each system continue to blur and crossover in one way or another. Some WMS solutions try to bridge the gap to and provide WCS performance, while many WCS offerings now offer inventory management and other functionality in an effort to occupy the role of a WMS.
Then there’s the latest entrant – WES, which aims to be a true hybrid of WMS and WCS. But what does that really mean for operations looking to make the right investment? What if there was a way to simplify the warehouse software discussion, breaking out of the W_S acronyms with substantive discussion of what the software must do and how it must perform?
This white paper discusses the established software paradigm for warehouses and distribution centers and introduces an alternative approach – a modular package, customized according to the functions required by unique, high-performance operations.
