WMS Software Specification and Consulting

A well-selected Warehouse Management System (WMS) plays a crucial role in determining the efficiency of warehouse operations.

Arborator Bt. provides expert support in the selection, specification, and implementation of WMS software, ensuring that the IT infrastructure fully supports both business and logistics processes.

Why Is the Right WMS System Important?

A WMS functions as the “brain” of warehouse operations, coordinating inventory management, material handling, order picking, and data communication.

However, an improperly selected system can:

  • slow down operational processes
  • create unnecessary manual work
  • limit the future development of warehouse automation

For this reason, Arborator Bt. approaches WMS selection through comprehensive technical and business analysis, ensuring the chosen solution fits both current and future operational requirements.

  • Definition of functional and performance requirements

2. Software Specification Development

  • Preparation of a custom WMS specification document
  • Definition of system functions, interfaces, and data structures
  • Integration recommendations for ERP, MES, or other enterprise systems

3. Implementation Consulting

  • Professional evaluation of tender documents and supplier proposals
  • Support during testing and validation phases
  • Assistance with process alignment and operational optimization

WMS Integration for Automated Warehouses

A modern WMS must be capable of real-time communication with automated warehouse technologies, such as:

  • shuttle and AS/RS systems
  • AGV / AMR vehicles
  • conveyor and lift systems
  • picking stations and weighing systems

Arborator Bt. develops integration concepts that ensure reliable, continuous data exchange between different hardware and software components within the warehouse ecosystem.

When Is WMS Consulting Recommended?

Professional WMS consulting is particularly beneficial:

  • before implementing a new warehouse or automated system
  • when replacing or upgrading an existing WMS platform
  • when aiming to reduce errors, unnecessary administrative tasks, and operational lead times

Expert guidance ensures that the selected WMS solution supports efficient warehouse operations both today and in the future.
