Identify Your Requirements
It’s important to identify your WMS requirements. Detailing your company’s business goals is an excellent place to start. Ask your warehouse workers about current challenges and use their input to help identify and define warehouse inefficiencies. Errors reduce profits. Issues like wrong items or wrong quantities that result in shipping errors can be very costly. If stock is not organized to maximize picking and putaway efficiencies, the business inevitably experiences financial hiccups. And this affects the customer services as well.
On the technical side, the first step is to make a list of all systems used to determine whether an on-premises or cloud-based WMS is the best fit for your existing infrastructure, current needs, and future goals. Further considerations in this area include integration requirements for the organization’s existing systems, mobile access, and device compatibility.
You also need to understand WMS types and the significance of WMS-required training for a successful deployment. There is also a need to outline and rank the WMS requirements list, which helps set high-end customer support expectation levels that your team will provide.
