Future State of Warehouse Management Systems Speculated on by To-Increase
New blog post sees future of warehouse management being driven by need for efficiency and increasingly flexible economics.
Norwell, MA, March 07, 2011 --(PR.com)-- To-Increase, a provider of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) built on Microsoft Dynamics technology, comments on factors that will define the shape of WMS in 2011 and beyond with the new blog post, "What Will Shape the Future of Warehouse Management Systems?"
As a source for its post on the future of WMS, author Luciano Cunha turns to the 2011 Market Trends Report on Warehouse Management Systems, by Michael Koploy of Software Advice. Koploy's source article on the future of WMS refers to the warehouse as the backbone of successful logistical operations.
"A warehouse may be the backbone of logistical operations, but it is the heart of most businesses," writes Cunha. "The warehouse takes in everything from raw materials to finished product, while beating out manufactured goods to destination points throughout the globe. So what will be the supplement that ensures this heart continues to beat?"
Cunha comments that several factors will drive the future of warehouse management, the two most common drivers being economics and efficiency.
"As the economy improves, many companies will regain the confidence needed to implement overdue upgrades," continues Cunha. "And because many of these companies represent small or mid-sized organizations, efficient operational capabilities will be absolutely critical."
Ultimately, the efficiency demands of hungrier businesses - especially those armed with more capital - will be a positive for the WMS industry. To meet these efficiency demands, WMS providers will need to improve their offerings in order to meet more complex needs. And ironically, meeting the more complex needs of a warehouse results in more efficient and affordable operations.
"The knowledge of what’s to come will ultimately help WMS providers do more than just see the future," concludes Cunha. "Rather, this knowledge will drive the processes and improvements we implement that will shape our future."
