It is important for groups responsible for WMS purchasing to properly define their organization’s requirements, prioritize, and pay for what their organization requires most. Many organizations that purchase a WMS from their current supplier place a premium on low total cost of ownership. In contrast, many organizations with complex warehouses place a premium on the depth and breadth of functionality. However, others realize that their business is in the midst of constant transition. These organizations place a premium on system adaptability. 

Think Holistically

Warehouse management systems suppliers have been competing based on a platform strategy for a number of years. This has allowed many customers to obtain value from synergies across applications. These organizations are deriving value from integrated workflows, cross-solution visibility, lower maintenance and upgrade costs, and improved business analytics. A cross-functional evaluation of system requirements can provide organizations with a holistic view of needs and enable them to prioritize and conduct a thorough cost-benefit analysis. A buyer should consider needs across business functions, over time, and even across partner relationships, and evaluate a WMS from within its operating context.
