White Paper: Warehouse Management Solutions Embedded Or Best-Of-Breed?

As manufacturers and distributors come under rising pressure for faster fulfillment of product orders and outstanding customer service, they increasingly ask the question, "Would a warehouse management system1 (WMS) help us better manage and automate our warehouse and fulfillment operations?" Often, they are finding that a WMS would, indeed, provide the benefits they seek. Your company may be coming to the same conclusion. Regardless of what strategy you choose to pursue – stand-alone or embedded – your chosen solution must accomplish the goals established for it with a minimum of disruption for implementation and integration. Achievable WMS goals often include greater customer satisfaction through shorter cycle times and 100% accurate deliveries, as well as better utilization of warehouse resources, inventory reduction and increased productivity.
