New White Paper Addresses the State of Warehouse Management Systems in the Cloud

RESTON, Va., July 19, 2023 — Softeon, a global supply chain software provider with the industry’s best track record of customer success, has released a new white paper that looks at the state of Warehouse Management Systems in the Cloud in 2023.

While the uptime and response concerns are understandable, the white paper explains how in practice performance in the Cloud has been excellent, including many successful deployments of WMS in complex, large-scale distribution center operations.

Softeon’s WMS solution has been web-native and Cloud-based for many years, was architected for Cloud deployment, and built for scale and responsiveness. 100% of new Softeon WMS deployments are in the Cloud.

The new white paper covers a variety of topics companies interested in WMS will want to explore, including the following:

  • A brief history of WMS and Cloud
  • The three key dimensions of Cloud versus traditional WMS deployment
  • The operational benefits of Cloud delivery
  • Why Cloud WMS architecture matters
  • An analysis of Cloud WMS performance concerns
  • Lessons learned from dozens of deployments of WMS in the Cloud

“WMS in the Cloud has simply become mainstream, and if architected to optimized Cloud performance can easily handle the most challenging operational environments,” said Jim Hoefflin, CEO at Softeon. “Our experience is that customer satisfaction with WMS implementations in the Cloud is very high, the result of eliminating the need to set-up deployment environments internally and enabling Softeon to provide on-going managed services, greatly reducing the requirement for internal IT resources.”
