Executive Summary

Between evolving consumers and consumer channels, convergence between retail and consumer product supply chains, and technology advances in warehouse management systems (WMS) a lot of change has come to warehouse management in a relatively short amount of time. How have vendors responded to these trends? Best-of-breeds still dominate the category, with Manhattan Associates at the top of the list, and several vendors — RedPrairie, SSA Global, Sterling Commerce, and HighJump Software — are hard on its heels. ERP vendors SAP, Oracle, and Aldata Solution continue to duke it out among themselves while trying to close the gap with pure plays. Companies evaluating WMS solutions for consumer goods supply chains need to strike a balance between manufacturing-driven needs, consumer-driven needs, and distribution's role in an extended supply chain when making their selection. To help companies pick the best partner, this report includes an interactive comparison tool that provides detailed vendor evaluations across 191 criteria and customizable rankings.
