What should the product (WMS) be? It should be developed using standard and cutting

edge technology. The WMS should be updatable to meet current

market trends. The company which develops the WMS must

provide guarantees for continuity in the future. The management must be scale able with the

possibility to build up modules; so that it doesn’t represent a burden for the growth of your company.

The functionality of the WMS must adapt to the requirements of your company today and in the future.
