WMS/TMS: criteria for choosing the right solution

Logistics is no longer a support function: it influences customer satisfaction, responsiveness, costs, and even brand image.
Choosing a WMS (Warehouse Management System) and a TMS (Transportation Management System) is now essential to remain competitive.

Strategic priority

Logistics digitization is among the top 5 priorities.

WMS and TMS: pillars of logistics performance

  • WMS: optimizes your warehouses (receiving, storage, picking, preparation, inventory).
  • TMS: manages your transportation (planning, shipping, tracking, document management).

Together, they guarantee traceability, error reduction, resource optimization, cost reduction, and continuous improvement.

A strategic project, not just a technical one

Implementing a WMS/TMS transforms your processes and your teams.

It requires:

  • A long-term vision (3 to 5 years),
  • The involvement of business lines to promote adoption,
  • An ROI approach to measure expected gains.

A good project is not just rich in features: it must be strategically relevant.

The 6 essential criteria for choosing your solution

01

Complete functional coverage

Choose a standard solution that covers your current needs (multi-warehouses, carriers, reverse logistics) and future needs (omni-channel, international).

02

Modern and scalable architecture

Choose cloud-based, interoperable software with open APIs and integrated AI components. A good tool is a platform for continuous innovation.

03

Modularity to move forward at your own pace

Start small, add modules as needed, without starting from scratch. Modularity reduces costs and avoids technical disruption.

04

Configurable rather than customizable

A configurable tool can be adapted via its interface, without costly development. This ensures agility and sustainability.

05

A trusted partner

Don't just look for a publisher. Check their business experience, support, ecosystem, and commitment to the success of the project.

06

Solid support and training

Ensure you have training, documentation, multilingual hotline, and e-learning. Adoption by your teams determines success.

Anticipate the future: choose a scalable platform

Your solution must be able to integrate tomorrow’s technologies:

  • automated systems and robots,
  • AI and optimization algorithms,
  • eco-driving TMS and carbon monitoring,
  • digital warehouse twins.

Choose a solution that can evolve with your ambitions.

Conclusion

A winning balance

A good WMS/TMS project is based on three pillars:

  • A modern, adaptable, and scalable tool,
  • A connected, modular, and configurable software architecture,
  • A reliable partner committed to your success.
