WMS

A new DHL Supply Chain report shows 91% upgraded tech in the past five years, yet 49% still cite outdated systems as a top concern.

As e-commerce sales surge toward $8 trillion, third-party logistics providers (3PLs) are evolving to handle higher order volumes, tighter delivery windows, and complex returns using automation, AI, and integrated warehouse management systems (WMS). By offering scalable fulfillment, reverse logistics, and real-time visibility, 3PLs help shippers of all sizes optimize operations, cut costs, and enhance customer satisfaction in a rapidly changing digital marketplace.

Modern supply chain management (SCM) software is transforming logistics with real-time visibility, AI-driven decision-making, and seamless integration across WMS, TMS, YMS, and ERP systems. These intelligent platforms help companies boost agility, optimize operations, and respond instantly to disruptions, delivering measurable ROI and improved supply chain performance.

Whether you're evaluating your first WMS or upgrading an outdated system, choosing the right solution is critical to navigating today’s supply chain complexities.

Gartner® has recently released the much-anticipated 2025 Magic Quadrant™ for Warehouse Management Systems. We believe this comprehensive report evaluates recognized vendors in the WMS industry for their innovative solutions and technologies shaping the future of supply chain.

Atlanta-based Stord, provider of high-volume fulfillment services and e-commerce technology for leading brands, announced today it has completed its acquisition of Atlanta-based Ware2Go, a UPS subsidiary comprised of a nationwide network of certified warehouses and technology to streamline fulfillment across sales channels, and a flexible business model that eliminates long-term contracts and order minimums. 

The companies said that through this agreement Blue Yonder will become one of GXO’s preferred off-the-shelf software solution providers for warehouse management systems (WMS).

Standing at the intersection of interconnected physical assets and automated processes is supply chain management (SCM) software, which serves as the connective tissue in today’s ever-evolving landscape. These sophisticated systems are integrating not only with one another, but also with equipment and other assets to create synchronized, responsive networks.

Implementing a Warehouse Management System (WMS) helps SMBs meet eCommerce demands by improving inventory accuracy, order processing, and fulfillment efficiency.

The “just-in-case” era is over, with operations looking to right-size inventory levels while avoiding stock outs. That may call for layers of technology, starting but not ending with WMS and effective data capture.

AI holds significant potential to transform supply chains, but widespread adoption is slowed by fragmented systems, inconsistent data, and cautious implementation approaches.

Supply chain management applications have helped transform how companies operate and promise to be even more transformative in the coming years.

While it was once thought that a WMS, TMS, or inventory management system created as part of an ERP developer’s broader software package was simply “good enough” for certain shippers, these applications have since become more feature-rich and able to meet the needs of a larger swath of shippers.
