Warehouse Management Systems Demand in EMEA Surges to New Heights
A warehouse management system’s (WMS) primary mission is to manage a warehouse’s resources, including space, labor, equipment, tasks, and material flows. A WMS is a real-time solution (not paper-based pick lists) and includes a variety of complementary solutions within the scope of this report: labor management, voice recognition, warehouse analytics, and warehouse optimization solutions.
ARC has been conducting this research and publishing the WMS report for 20 years. This history provides valuable insights to market dynamics and refines the research process.
WMS demand from the EMEA region expanded rapidly in 2017. This rapid growth was driven by e-commerce fulfillment needs and a general rebound in fulfillment investment spending in Europe that increased the business of numerous WMS suppliers in the region. This surge in demand for WMS in Europe is expected to continue into the near future. E-commerce fulfillment and next day delivery requirements continue to stimulate WMS demand in other regions of the globe, as well.
At the same time, Cloud WMS is gaining traction and promises to expand the set of potential WMS prospects while also hindering WMS revenue growth due to the delayed recognition of subscription revenues.
