Reviews From an Executive... "I came to the project on an executive level having little to no expertise in Warehouse Management Software (WMS). From the onset of my reading "Selecting Warehouse Software from WMS & ERP Providers" it proved to be everything and far more than I could have ever begin to appreciate. ... The author approached this written work with a sensitivity of the immense challenge the average person would face when taking on the warehouse universe and its technical requirements, by him demonstrating a simplistic and readable way of presenting the invaluable information contained within the work. The section identifying WMS software vendors and ERP supply chain software providers is simply priceless, and worth the cost of the book all by itself. I have since purchased more of the series and can now intelligently approach "applying the right software solution" with added confidence." Don Corder, President From the Top Operations Consultant... "This book should be the first step in your WMS project. ...Not only does the author cover standard functionality of WMS, he takes it a step further by pointing out "Differentiators" and "Common Deficiencies". These insights can prove to be incredibly valuable during the selection and implementation processes. The book is essentially a detailed report on WMS functionality with an additional section on the selection process (including step-by-step instructions and sample documents). The format makes it easy to simply open the book to a section on a specific type functionality and quickly get up to speed on key issues related to that topic. ... it's a minuscule price to pay to increase your chance of getting it right." Dave Piasecki, President From the Expert in Warehousing.... "The major goal of this report was to provide information about baseline software needs, and to delineate the key differences and common deficiencies. Another goal was to provide an explanation of the differences between a WMS (warehouse management system) and an ERP (enterprise resource planning). The final goal of the report was to provide a detailed roadmap for the development of the RFP (request for proposal). A chapter was devoted to each of the goals, followed by a list of software sources, separated by category. For those considering the purchase, or upgrade, of warehouse software, this research report is worth its weight in gold." Ken Ackerman From a Chief Operating Officer... "Selecting WMS has got to be one of the most complex, challenging tasks faced by today's operators. I am confident, that buyers following your outline, and using outside resources where necessary to bolster the strength of the selection team will significantly increase the likelihood of the project's success. Especially, since costs related to wrong or bad choices are so potentially high, I can't imagine starting a WMS selection project without having your publication available to guide decision-making at every step in the process." Peter J. Harris From another Warehouse Expert... "... The information in this book is distilled from experience in the field from almost the very beginning of modern warehouse systems. It has everything you need to choose well and in some cases, a little more than you need.. ...In conclusion, the use of this book will materially aid the potential purchaser of a warehouse management system avoid mistakes and get what is needed for successful implementation in his or her organization." Art Liebeskind From a YMS Software Provider... "I think you’re right on the money that WMS is complex, as are many operations, and without doing their homework and knowing where they want to end up, they will have a significant investment in something that requires greater investment to match their needs, or worse, end up with a WMS that can’t meet their needs."
