The Inadequacy of Traditional WMS

• Limited Adaptability: Struggles to accommodate changing business needs without extensive customisation.
• Inefficient Scalability: Bottlenecks and errors when scaling up operations or handling increased volumes.
• Delayed Visibility: Limited or delayed inventory insights leading to fulfilment delays.
• Complex Integration: Difficulty integrating with newer technologies or software systems.
• Lack of Analytics: Inadequate data analytics impacting decision-making and optimisation efforts.
