Nucleus Research Releases 2023 Warehouse Management Systems Technology Value Matrix
November 15, 2023Leaders in the WMS space include Blue Yonder, Infor, Manhattan Associates, One Network, Oracle, and SAP.
Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) are essential tools for organizations seeking to enhance warehouse efficiency, reduce operational costs, and elevate customer service by providing solutions that help optimize inventory management and streamline order fulfillment.
“Nucleus has noticed three specific trends surfacing from the warehouse management space. As costs rise and third-party logistics providers and distributors face margin pressures, they transition from simple ‘box movers’ to taking over ownership functions, such as planning and inventory management. This strategic service shift enhances customer relationships, making these organizations more integral to their clients’ operations,” said Research Analyst Charles Brennan. “There is also increased focus on optimizing and orchestrating warehouse robotics and automation. These technologies are now tightly integrated with WMS, facilitating faster and more accurate order fulfillment while reducing labor costs. Additionally, Warehouse Execution Systems are gaining prominence as an essential trend within WMS technology, allowing organizations to test, trial, and change process automation at a more suitable pace for its operation without the risk of long integration exercises.”
