Many e-shops postpone a WMS while the warehouse “sort of works”. Here are four signals it’s time to act.
1. Picking errors grow with volume
If returns caused by wrong items rise every season, the process has hit its limit.
2. E-shop stock doesn’t match reality
You sell what you don’t have — or hide what you do.
3. Stock-takes take days
And the results differ from the system.
4. Onboarding a new picker takes weeks
Knowledge lives in people’s heads, not in the system.
