Why is a Cloud-Based WMS Better for Your Company?
Businesses across various industries benefit from the greater efficiency and adaptability brought about by cloud-based software solutions, including the industry-leading SAP Business One. But are you getting the most out of it for your business?
While its prowess as an ERP is undoubted, add-ons can transform performance metrics for your company. For instance, integrating a Warehouse Management System (WMS) into your SAP setup can drive efficiencies and performance for your warehouse operations.
In that respect, Logiks WMS?, a solution designed exclusively for SAP Business One, offers a comprehensive solution that leverages the cloud to deliver superior warehouse management.
But why is a cloud-based WMS better, and what advantages does it bring to your business?
What is a Cloud-Based WMS?
As the name suggests, cloud-based WMS are hosted on a cloud platform, allowing managers to access data and operational information from anywhere in the world. Of course, this setup delivers several advantages.
Namely, unlike traditional on-premises WMS, cloud-based solutions such as Logiks WMS require no complex installations or hardware implementation. Instead, you can install it like any other software program and seamlessly integrate it into your SAP Business One environment.
In other words, you can completely overhaul your warehouse operations in hours and reap a slew of additional benefits. Let’s examine those benefits and how they may positively impact your organization.
The Advantages of Implementing a Cloud-Based WMS
1. Speed and Ease of Implementation
As mentioned, a cloud-based WMS is exceptionally easy to deploy. In the case of Logiks, the solution is designed to integrate quickly and seamlessly with SAP Business One. There’s no need to add on-site server infrastructure. You simply install the solution, and it automatically connects through the SAP service layer. All warehouse processing is automatically run through the Logiks Data Gateway, which doubles as a bridge to the Logiks cloud environment.
And that’s it. In mere hours, you start overhauling how your warehouse is run, spot inefficiencies and reduce operational costs.
2. Centralization of Warehouse Operations
A huge benefit of switching to a cloud-based SAP WMS is giving yourself complete control over your warehouse operations from a single access point. You can set up templates, standard configurations, detail logging, and all kinds of other functionality from a single location which updates all devices and locations in seconds.
This provides a foundation for much higher consistency in operations, reduces errors, and delivers enhanced flexibility in the face of changing business needs.
3. Speed and Modern Architecture
As a business operating a warehouse, you’ll already be aware of the need for speed. Picking times need to be slashed, and incoming order data must be processed in milliseconds. In the case of Logiks, this modern solution has been developed from scratch over the last 18 months to leverage the blazing-fast speed of the latest cloud architecture while incorporating the latest aspects of functionality.
With a user-friendly interface, you can get the insights you need fast. From inventory reports to order processing statistics, whatever you require is always at your fingertips.
4. Enhanced Scalability and Flexibility
Of course, a vital consideration is scalability. As your business and warehouse operations grow, you need a SAP warehouse management solution that can grow with you. Being cloud-based, scaling couldn’t be any simpler. With the “pay as you grow” model, you can do away with costly infrastructure upgrades and simply pay for extra devices to be added.
It doesn’t matter how many desktops, mobile devices, or scanners you need to add – Logiks can effortlessly scale as you do.
