Are professional types of Warehouse Management System an expensive solution?

Yes and no – there are many types of WMS software. Preparing a customized IT system can often mean considerable expense. At IDEA commerce, we believe that the value should always be measured individually for each business. The final cost of creating a dedicated program depends on many factors, including, above all, the specifics of the operation of the business where the WMS system is to be implemented.

The number of all workstations is taken into account, divided into managerial, packing or collecting positions. If, in addition, the company cooperates with a number of carriers, then the introduction of advanced solutions responsible for warehouse management is needed. Sometimes, it is also about integration with other systems. Therefore, it is difficult to clearly determine the price of the program. It is determined individually, after detailed consultations with the customer. This is our way of work. We adjust each WMS to the needs and expectations of our client. We present a number of possibilities with the help of which you can effectively improve how you use warehouse.

Note the savings. A WMS streamlines the picking or packing of products in a warehouse, resulting in more orders being completed in less time. A well-implemented warehouse management system offers considerable opportunities in terms of business development. The initial costs during preparation and configuration can be treated as an investment. So why is it worth choosing us? We treat each client individually, providing comprehensive support for the implementation of the WMS and its updates.

The final cost of on-premises system is also affected by the model of its acquisition. The purchase of a proprietary license provides unlimited access to a modern IT system, which works especially well for businesses with a specific, fixed number of realized orders and well-estimated market potential. Dynamic changes in this area may make the warehouse system require frequent updates. In such a situation, a better option for the company is a subscription purchase model (SaaS). It means a subscription-based model. If you have any doubts, feel free to contact us – our specialists will explain which solution will be best for your company.
