I've personally worked on/ implemented half a dozen WMS. Softeon by far is the one I hated the most. Hundreds of thousands of dollars waisted trying to teach the folks as Softeon how a medium to large scale 3PL is really supposed to work. They were without a clue as to what really goes on in a contract logistics warehouse. Also the concept of QA testing their code before handing it over to a paying customer for User Acceptance Testing was completely foreign to them.
The company I work for(medium sized distribution/fullfillment center) just transitioned to this WMS called Deposco. Deposco is ok and im guessing they choose it because of budget reasons. The main drawback of deposco is that it does not have good resources to learn its usage. It has basic docs, but the docs are just a birds eye view and it doesnt really go into detail. I am struggling trying to learn it to better serve the company I work for but its really slow going. I mean there isnt any communites that use the software like there is for other more known systems.
I would like your opinion concerning : Routing optimization (reduce trasport cost) and warehouse management (reducing stock)- which systems would be ideal each one of them? thank you very much
Hi Eric, I am a wholesaler that are dealing with liquor beverages, Avg about 300-500 SKU. Which WMS would you recommend for our use we have several warehouse but accuracy is the issue. Which would you recommend to connect the front end system to our backend system
You need to update this video, I am really shocked why Blue Yonder is not in the list. and Manhattan Associates at #5? like seriously! have you even heard of the Magic Quadrant?
i was wandering. The forklift companies like jungheinrich have their own wms softwares aswell, which you need when you want to use their automated foklifts. So I wonder how you combine these 2 systems.
I can testify to what he said about D365 and not having a good implementation partner to set it up for you. My company has taken a hard financial hit because of a bad implementation of D365.
Hi Dean, an inventory management and point of sale system would be more effective for a liquor store. The warehouse management systems are more for large warehouses rather than for individual stores.
are any of these used with Linux and/or are FOSS ? If anyone in Dallas is using Odoo WMS, I am looking for warehouse work - a mix of clerical, tech, and physical labor. I don't know Odoo WMS system yet, but would like to.
Agreed, I’d be interested in understanding how any top 10 WMS list is missing it…. Manhattan and Blue Yonder are the top two WMS systems (as a pure product) on the globe. SAP is broadly used since its implemented along with the ERP.
I use fishbowl every day and i absolutely hate it. Kicks me out all if the time and freezes a ton. Maybe it would be good for a smaller warehouse with less than 15 people using it

Hi Eric, thanks for sharing you knowledge. It would be great if you made a video about the importance of master data management on ERP Implementations
Great suggestion!

Great list. Why isn't Red Prairie on this list? or on any of your lists?
No Blue Yonder ? I was surprised. Great video.
Logiwa WMS is taking over the high-volume DTC space. Quite impressive.

Cool! Have you looked into AEB Assist4 WMS? AEB Cloud WMS?
What about Blue Yonder?
Great knowledge transfer...

Hi Eric,
Do you have an opinion about JDA/BY WMS system? And where would you slot them?
What about Cin7 (Dear Systems) in terms of inventory and warehouse?
Yeah Manhattan does seem more practical for a Large DC vs a small like private place that doesnt do huge volume
Hey Eric I recently purchased a liquor store and was wondering if these management systems would be effective.
Hi Dean, an inventory management and point of sale system would be more effective for a liquor store. The warehouse management systems are more for large warehouses rather than for individual stores.
Hi Eric, Great video, do you know if is there some wms that support RFID without a midware or intermediate software?
Can you review LMS systems like JDA Manhattan, Red Prairie etc.
are any of these used with Linux and/or are FOSS ?
If anyone in Dallas is using Odoo WMS, I am looking for warehouse work - a mix of clerical, tech, and physical labor. I don't know Odoo WMS system yet, but would like to.
Great video , thank you
you guys may want to try zero for warehouse and distribution management
I am surprised why JDA WMS is not in your list.

Where would you rank BlueYonder?
#5 is this the same one that UNFI uses ?! It is the best tbis was what i was looking for !!
I'll vouch for that system ! 100 percent
I use fishbowl every day and i absolutely hate it. Kicks me out all if the time and freezes a ton. Maybe it would be good for a smaller warehouse with less than 15 people using it
do you cloud or desktop version?
I've heard that from a past employer that used it, too.
Thanks you
I was really hoping to see the software in action inside of looking at a guy talk 😢
We don't sell software so we don't demo it. Try the vendor channels.

Infor is awful; constantly freezes and needs a reboot every month-end.
