Time to upgrade your WMS?

According to a report from Aberdeen Research (www.aberdeen.com ), nearly half of companies running a warehouse management system (WMS) have a version that's at least 5 years old. “Best in class” companies, however, are almost three times more likely

than their peers to be operating the current version of their WMS, according to the report, “Warehouse Management Software: Five Key Capabilities for Every Distribution Center.”

“Companies using outdated versions of a WMS can't take advantage of new functionality in areas like slotting, labor management or speech recognition,” the authors observe. “Furthermore, they may be operating with a system that does not support their own changing business process.”
