New Research Report On 3PL WMS Software Providers
Selecting new software for a 3rd Party Logistics (3PL) is definitely a task that should rank 10 out of 10 for difficulty. In addition to all warehousing functions that a private warehouse needs, the 3PL also needs inventory ownership, 3PL billing, 3PL customer reporting, 3PL management reporting, and tremendous configuration options on a per customer basis. This new research report "Who's Who In 3PL WMS Software" makes the search much easier!
Ken Ackerman says "In this comprehensive workbook, all the steps are listed that a logistics service provider should take in considering the purchase of packaged software. Except for a brief presentation of insights and tips, as well as comparisons of installations and customer bases, nearly 90% of the text is devoted to profiles of providers of WMS software. As in previous books by the same author, this text offers a no nonsense approach to the task of selecting a vendor of warehouse management systems."
"... I can not overstate how useful this book is to helping weed through the myriad of software vendors and technical jargon. The book is so well laid out, that I was able to cut right to the chase and shave my initial list of software vendors from over a hundred down to seven! Hats off to IDII for a tremendous amount of effort and a job well done!" indicates Bruce Rose, President of Group Three Logistics
