Top factors impacting the global warehouse management system market
Improved supplier and customer relationships
WMS reduces the delivery lead times and errors while processing the orders. The suppliers seek greater efficiency and productivity while implementing WMS, which strengthens the supplier‐customer relationships, and is a notable driver for the WMS market. The impact of this factor was remarkable during 2015, and is projected to significantly rise over the forecast period.
Costly deployment of WMS solutions
Inherent challenges associated with implementation of the distribution software such as lack of process standardization in distribution, less business savvy users, high rate of simultaneous active transactions, materials handling interface requirements, and other factors result in resource monopolization, cost overruns, and operational disruption risks. Smaller facilities with lower headcounts find WMS solutions too expensive to deploy. Many such firms rely on memory-based processes, antiquated systems, and paper-based warehouse operations. In the year 2015, the impact of this factor was prominent; however, due to technological advancements, this impact is predicted to decline over the forecast period.
Emergence of SaaS-based on-demand WMS solutions
The smaller firms and other companies seek for less capital investments and greater flexibility. The on-demand supply chain execution is expected to gain larger share of the market over the forecast period. SmartTurn, a WMS vendor, was among the first companies to promote this model. Several suppliers have provided their software as a service to get a foothold in the market. The impact of this factor was notable in 2015, and is expected to increase over the forecast period.
