Imagine a warehouse where operations run seamlessly, costs are predictable, and scaling up is as simple as a click.  

This is the promise of modern cloud WMS solutions. Overall, the benefits of cloud hosting are driving rapid adoption, with analysts estimating that over 75% of new WMS deals are for cloud solutions, especially among small and mid-sized companies. 

But what exactly sets cloud-based WMS solutions head and shoulders above the competition?  

Reduce your Total Cost of Ownership 

Real clouds may fly high overhead, but cloud WMS solutions come with low overheads. That’s because hosting your WMS in the cloud eliminates the costly initial outlay of purchasing hardware infrastructure, database licensing and employing a team of IT staff to maintain the system on-premises.  

For example, by eliminating on-premises servers and related hardware, ModernLogic Cloud WMS customers save on unpredictable energy consumption and cooling costs associated with running an on-site data center, only paying a fixed subscription fee instead. 

Improve Scalability and Flexibility 

As businesses evolve, so too do their needs for efficient and flexible systems. By embracing cloud WMS technology while they’re still growing, these companies can unlock unprecedented levels of efficiency, scalability, and security, transforming their operations and positioning themselves for future success. 

Cloud WMS solutions can easily scale computing resources up or down based on your evolving requirements, such as increased order volumes or additional warehouses. This enables you to quickly adapt to business changes and growth without investing in additional hardware.  

Secure your Mission-Critical Data 

While some concerns still exist around data security in cloud environments, leading cloud providers like Amazon Web Services invest heavily in security measures and redundancy to ensure high levels of data protection, reliability, and uptime that may be difficult for individual companies to match on-premises. For example, by leveraging AWS Relational Database Service (RDS), ModernLogic offer an industry leading Disaster Recovery service with virtually no data loss.  

Efficiently Manage Your Multi-Site Inventory 

For businesses with multiple warehouse locations, cloud technology enables centralised inventory management across all sites without duplicating IT setups at each facility. This eliminates the need for separate systems or data silos for each location, enabling a unified view of stock levels across the entire warehouse network.  

However, if you really want to benefit from this unified approach, you need a WMS which integrates seamlessly with your other systems. ModernLogic’s WMS provides real-time visibility into inventory levels, movements, and transactions happening at each warehouse location for better coordination, stock allocation, and order fulfilment decisions across multiple sites. 

Work With a Forward-thinking Technology Partner 

If you invest in software stuck on an outdated technology platform, you can expect your provider to be stuck there, too. 

The fact is, it’s hard to innovate and develop a WMS which isn’t already meeting and exceeding the latest tech standards. Outdated platforms come with tech debt, which makes it very difficult to make on-the-fly changes to support their customers’ needs. 

However, if you choose an experienced WMS partner with a cloud solution, such as ModernLogic, you can be sure to receive the best possible solution for your needs.
