on business, and that’s because a foolproof WMS will improve warehouse operations two-fold. A quality WMS will improve accuracy, efficiency and daily productivity
through automated processes and technology that can be amended as demand changes. For example, OrderWise users have the flexibility to configure how goods in, replenishment and dispatch processes are managed based on order volumes. This allows our customers to scale up their warehouse operation during peak times. Businesses can also implement the likes of barcode-scanning technology, allowing operatives to double, triple or quadruple the amount of orders they were managing prior to software installation.
4. Think about the extras On top of the core software, some providers offer additional packages for businesses to consider to further maximise their growth and efficiencies. Take our software as an example – it’s modular, meaning the software is built using only the items you require. Other features to consider are integrated websites for your trade
customers, CRM for help with a structured sales process and business intelligence for at-a-glance statistics on your business performance. This is why it’s important to determine your requirements from a business software early - to avoid unnecessary expense. There’s also the option to automate your operations further using

robotics, which will not only increase ROI and save on costs but will make you competitive in a crowded marketplace.
5. Decide between cloud and on-premise The decision as to whether you opt for a cloud-based or on-premise software is truly down to personal preference. As many businesses have likely seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, cloud-based software is fantastic when working remotely or having to scale quickly. OrderWise Cloud has enabled many of our customers to continue business as close to normal as possible during this difficult time, and that’s because you can access the software from pretty much anywhere. There are also on-premise systems to consider. These are hosted on the business’ own servers and licences will need to be purchased for users of the software. OrderWise provides on-premise software that is installed by the team with a full training and support package, often being favoured by wholesalers for the system’s capabilities with large volumes of data. It’s important to do your research on the pros and cons between cloud and on-premise to make the right decision for your business, but both work brilliantly in their own right. To conclude, driving growth and efficiency shouldn’t be a challenging task with the right software, so investigate your options and don't forget about the smaller providers - they might be just what your business is looking for.
