Press Release
Selecting new software for
a 3rd Party Logistics (3PL) is definitely a task
that should
rank 10 out of 10 for difficulty. In addition
to all warehousing functions that a private warehouse
needs, the 3PL also needs inventory ownership, 3PL
billing, 3PL customer reporting, 3PL management reporting,
and tremendous configuration options on a per customer
basis.This new research report "Who's Who
In 3PL WMS Software" makes the search much easier!
Ken Ackerman
says "In
this comprehensive workbook, all the steps are listed that a logistics
service
provider
should take
in
considering
the
purchase
of packaged software. Except for a brief presentation of insights
and tips, as well as comparisons of installations and customer bases, nearly
90% of the text is devoted
to profiles of providers of WMS software. As in previous books
by the same author, this text offers a no nonsense approach to
the task of selecting a vendor of warehouse management systems."
"... I can not overstate how useful this book is to helping weed through
the myriad of software vendors and technical jargon. The book
is so well laid out, that I was able to cut right to the chase and shave
my initial
list of software vendors from over a hundred down to seven! Hats off
to IDII for a tremendous amount of effort and a job well done!" indicates
Bruce Rose,
President of Group Three Logistics
