Softeon, a global supply chain software provider with the best customer success record in the industry, announced the release of a new report titled "Seven Uncommon Keys to Success in Warehouse Systems", providing valuable insights to help ensure the company's WMS Project deliver expected accomplishments.

For various reasons, warehouse management system projects can be challenging. For example, unlike most other types of supply chain software, WMS needs to synchronize the logical world of the software with the physical world of inventory and workers, usually in motion.

The increasing use of material handling systems that require WMS integration adds to these challenges.

However, in addition to the usual recommendations of "do more testing and training", there are some proven ways to reduce and manage the challenges and risks of WMS implementation, and you can also focus on less obvious keys to success.

This new report from Softeon, in collaboration with leading consulting firm Thru-Put Partners, is based on a successful webinar organized by Softeon and Thru-Put Partners in early 2021.

The "Seven Keys to Success" include:

Create a clear decision-making framework: Having a clearly defined decision-making structure is a necessary condition for success. However, many companies have not established a complete framework in the project, leading to problems later in the timeline, and it may be too late to correct these problems. Get the right presentation-WMS presentations are never fun, but they are a key step in choosing the right partner. Therefore, we must fully consider both the content and the process. A common problem is time allocation-usually providing equal demo time for critical and non-critical and/or more commodity features.

The reality is that the WMS project has a wide range of results. There are many successes, but there are also many projects that face challenges in terms of time and resources and are costly.

Softeon is the only company in the WMS market with a track record of 100% deployment success, based on a result-driven approach and a strong focus on quickly realizing value. But more generally, when looking at the wide range of WMS projects, too many projects are too difficult and push the timetable too far to achieve the expected benefits.

The reality is that the factors that make WMS projects unsuccessful or difficult after the fact are almost always exposed. The key is to address the key success factors at the beginning of the process. By focusing on downstream events early in the project, many potential problems can be eliminated or at least mitigated.

The new "Seven Uncommon Keys to Success in Warehouse Systems" are available here for free.
