Practical Tips
by ehsan on April 13, 2007
Regarding selection of WMS solutions I think, apart from the statement that it depends on the product and the industry, following quick tips might be useful (I tried to be neutral in making judgements):
1) HighJump Software, Manhattan Associates' PKMS, Redpraire and Catalyst WMS are some of the best options available in the market, specially HighJump's solution is relatively quicker to implement.
2) If have already implemented SAP or Oracle, then the answer is SAP or Oracle! Today major ERP vendors like Oracle and SAP are providing robust WMS with most of the features the above products are providing. Implementing WMS from the same solution provider, even though might reduce flexibility, is also easier.
3) As a final note in comparing SAP with the other solutions, I would say SAP's EWM product has not been fully proven in complex operational scenarios. Red prairie and Manhattan Associates are highly rated by Gartner and have 100s of installations across large and complex customer requirements.
I appreciate your feedbacks about this post. Do you like me to cover such areas or not?

I would advise the company to do an "operation analysis" and determine your needs and goals. Get specific operational goals from the warehousing group.
BTW, your vertical market that you are in - makes a big issue for what WMS solution that you should be looking at.
Besides the two WMS vendors mentioned, there are another 100 WMS vendors out in the software industry. How about HighJump, Infor, Softeon, Zethcon, ASC, Softglobe, Motek, Cadre, ... .... .... and the many many others?
