Benefits of our warehouse management software services

WMS expertise for retail and logistics

DICEUS offers warehouse management software that allows customers to adopt emtechs (emerging technologies) capable of boosting businesses in retail and logistics. Our systems help retailers reorganize their warehouse operations to satisfy buyers with the fastest possible deliveries. Logistics vendors, in their turn, benefit a lot from automated cargo movements appearing more cost-effective and errorless due to our WMS solutions. Our systems significantly simplify arranging frictionless workflows for both retailers and logistics providers due to our deep expertise that builds a bridge between software and the real-world movement of goods.

Custom development for your business

Despite many ready-to-use WMS systems available in the market, we are far from offering one-fits-all solutions to our customers. We believe that any templated software is a palliative incapable of meeting the needs of each and every customer out of the box. Only an individual approach to every particular business can deliver the results worth investing time and money. Once warehouse management includes numerous individual nuances and complexities, only custom development can provide users with fully-functional WMS systems leaving no warehouse operations uncovered.

Project outcomes guarantee

Each interruption in a supply chain’s functioning brings not just financial losses but reputational risks to a business. Implementing a WMS system makes sense only if the software runs smoothly to provide an obvious commercial value due to continuous errorless operation. How to convince customers that the ordered WMS solution will work as they expect? We prefer sharing the responsibility for project outcomes with our customers. The guarantee that imposes financial obligations on the software vendor is worth a thousand words. Such a strategy leaves no chance for either negligence or incompetence from our side.

Flexible cooperation options

DICEUS never limits cooperation with customers by software development only. We are always looking for a win-win strategy that can appear mutually profitable for both parties. Any custom WMS application may require a preliminary audit of the existing software (ERP and the like). We are here to provide such a service. Need to migrate the already deployed WMS system from on-premise to cloud? We can help even if the system is delivered by a third-party vendor. Looking for an augmented staff for continuous post-deployment support of your WMS system? Our dedicated teams are always available.

Our WMS development process

Discovery phaseWe always begin with thorough research of the existing warehouse management system of our customers: what should be improved, what can be changed, and what customers expect from a WMS solution after all. A preliminary software audit of the current ERP is an option. A software development specification (SDS) appears as a result of the discovery phase. This is a totally collaborative approach that aims at mitigating any misunderstanding between our team and a customer. The first line of code appears only after the entire architecture becomes clear for everyone.

Design and developmentDesigners start prototyping the future WMS system on the basis of a previously created SDS. It does not mean, however, that any conceptual changes can be made over the course: we are always open to fresh ideas that can come to a customer as a sudden epiphany. Developers are writing code in parallel with designers so as not to lose valuable time. Iterations go after iterations according to a certain Agile method selected for the project. Customers stay always informed about the languages and frameworks we prefer applying to their WMS systems. The development process as a whole remains fully transparent for customers at any stage.

Testing and QAWe are very pragmatic about testing: it is better to overdo tests before some possible WMS malfunction will bring penalties and reputational risks (remember that we bear financial obligations against outcomes guarantee) to our company. Both automated testing methodologies inherent in DevOps and manual tests inevitable in checking UX are thoroughly documented. We appreciate proactive testing when developers create tests themselves to make sure about the quality of every line of code they write. Each subsequent iteration begins only after each previous one is finalized without failed tests.

Technical supportThere are two types of cooperation with customers. One type comes to its end when a finished software product is delivered and deployed. Another one goes until the entire life cycle of the delivered software gets exhausted. We always prefer the second variant to provide our customers with professional technical support. Warehouse operations are dynamic and sensitive to ever-changing market conditions. Updates and upgrades of a WMS system seem to be in need from time to time, therefore. We never leave our customers tet-a-tet with possible technical issues: who knows a WMS system better than its creators?

What impacts your project duration

There is no standard timeframe when it comes to the custom development of a WMS system: each project is unique. Nonetheless, some common factors have a substantial impact on the duration of your project.

Project requirements
Expected time-to-market
Team composition
Chosen platforms and technology stack
Integration needs

What affects your project costs

The cost of every WMS development project is as individual as its duration. The following factors determine the final cost of your WMS solution:

Project scope and complexity
Chosen technology
Project completion urgency
Engagement model: Fixed Price, Time and Material, Dedicated Team

What we need from your side

In order to achieve the best possible results in terms of both project duration and cost efficiency, we always do our best to make an SDS appear as soon as possible. The following info (if available) can significantly facilitate our efforts:

Project goals, vision, and roadmap if exist
High-level project requirements
Project-specific documentation if available, for example, software architecture and mockups
Client’s availability (a couple of hours per week for requirements gathering sessions)
Project deadlines

Frequently asked questions

What are the most popular WMS solutions globally?

One of the burning trends in logistics these days is 3PL (third-party logistics) when inventory, warehousing, and fulfillment are outsourced to some third-party vendors. They usually use the following 3 types of WMS systems: integrated ERP, supply-chain modules, and standalone WMS. Some of the leading ready-to-use systems are NetSuite WMS, Fishbowl Inventory, Softeon, and HighJump. Even though they are represented as out-of-the-box WMS solutions, it is necessary to select the business specialization inherent in each system: wholesale, manufacturing, 3PL, e-commerce, and the like.

What are the essential features of WMS systems?

The functionalities of custom WMS systems may significantly vary according to the domains where they have to work. However, any application that claims to be a fully functional WMS solution can hardly do without the following features: Inventory tracking, pick-and-pack processing, task management, shipment scheduling, order fulfillment, data collection, accounting, reports, and notifications.

What are the benefits of warehouse management apps?

Enhanced productivity due to optimized warehouse operations is widely considered as the main advantage of WMS system implementation. Automation of inventory leads to faster and more precise movements of goods along the entire supply chain. The improved deliveries result in stronger customer loyalty along with a higher retention rate. Transport drivers benefit from better cross-docking and faster loading. And finally, your employees become happier with improved workflows and demonstrate better performance along with lower staff turnover.
