There are so many moving parts (pun intended) that it\u2019s important to know what you\u2019re getting into and how to best mitigate risks to project failure or going over budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having managed hundreds of WMS implementation projects in the last 15 years, we have 8 tips to share with you to help ensure a successful WMS implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1: Set Expectations for the Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies often believe that the warehouse management system itself is the solution to all their problems. Other critical elements end up being ignored or not taken into account such as <a href=\"https:\/\/envistacorp.techyscouts.dev\/blog\/warehouse-slotting\/\">slotting<\/a> considerations or how responsibilities for an associate are going to change from what they do today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many implications to consider across warehouse operations that impact both people and processes. What used to be manual work changes as efficiencies are realized once the warehouse management system is in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make sure you set the right expectations, ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Do I need a warehouse management system?<\/li><li>What\u2019s the right type of warehouse management system?<\/li><li>What&#8217;s the role that system is going to play in our warehouse operations?<\/li><li>How will my team\u2019s work change day-to-day?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-consider-who-will-own-the-warehouse-management-system\">2: Consider Who Will \u201cOwn\u201d the Warehouse Management System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Identifying the internal team that will be responsible for the success of your new warehouse management system seems obvious, but it\u2019s often overlooked. Getting this team involved from the beginning of the project is critical to overall project success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally, the best department to own the system is the Operations Department. The reason for this is that the Operations Department is going to be the final user of the system when the WMS implementation is complete, and it becomes accountable for the change management process. Allowing the Operations Department to own the system from the very beginning ultimately ensures that it will benefit from the system once it gets rolled out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-plan-your-wms-implementation-timeline\">3: Plan Your WMS Implementation Timeline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You always want to be thinking at least 3-5 years out when you\u2019re planning your warehouse management system project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if you currently fulfill for retail in one warehouse but have plans to do e-commerce in the future, understanding how your business might change in the future is very important in considering enabling technology and system requirements that will support your <a href=\"https:\/\/envistacorp.techyscouts.dev\/technology\/unified-commerce-platform\/order-management-software\/omnichannel-fulfilment\/\">omnichannel fulfilment<\/a> capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"page\" data-elementor-id=\"53364\" class=\"elementor elementor-53364\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ed8b4ae elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"72954\" data-id=\"ed8b4ae\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"aux-parallax-section has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-86206ef\" data-eae-slider=\"48789\" data-id=\"86206ef\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-d0258b7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"721\" data-id=\"d0258b7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"aux-parallax-section has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d2bba90\" data-eae-slider=\"31605\" data-id=\"d2bba90\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a822a7 elementor-grid-1 elementor-posts--align-left elementor-grid-tablet-1 elementor-grid-mobile-1 elementor-posts--thumbnail-top elementor-posts__hover-gradient elementor-widget elementor-widget-posts\" data-id=\"3a822a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;cards_columns&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;cards_row_gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:0,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;cards_columns_tablet&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;cards_columns_mobile&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;cards_row_gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;cards_row_gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"posts.cards\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-posts-container elementor-posts elementor-posts--skin-cards elementor-grid\" role=\"list\">\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"elementor-post elementor-grid-item post-105714 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-white-paper tag-distribution-center tag-slotting tag-supply-chain\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__card\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-post__thumbnail__link\" href=\"https:\/\/web.envistacorp.techyscouts.dev\/successful-warehouse-slotting-roi\" tabindex=\"-1\" ><div class=\"elementor-post__thumbnail\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/envistacorp.techyscouts.dev\/en-au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_456680302-768x667.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-105716\" alt=\"Large warehouse interior with tall blue and orange metal shelving racks stacked with cardboard boxes and wrapped pallets on both sides of a wide, polished concrete aisle.

For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Do you want to have the system on premise?<\/li><li>Do you want to put it in the cloud or have it hosted by somebody outside the organisation?<\/li><li>What&#8217;s the right database structure and operating system?<\/li><li>What are all the systems that are now going to have to interact with this new warehouse management system?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>IT has a critical role, not only up front, but through the course of the warehouse implementation as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-determine-your-requirements-before-starting-the-vendor-selection-process\">5: Determine Your Requirements Before Starting the Vendor Selection Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest tips is to make the project a customer led process, not a vendor led process. There are many situations where customers bring vendors in, and they haven&#8217;t defined what their requirements are. They simply ask the vendor to tell them what they are good at and how that may apply to their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A more effective process is doing your due diligence upfront to understand the role of the warehouse management system in your operations. Then you can lead each vendor through very detailed requirements and scripting capabilities that say exactly how you want your system to be able to interact within your IT ecosystem. You also get a chance to connect the dots as an organisation to see how it all effectively works together and aligns with your business goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-avoid-modifications-to-control-project-costs\">6: Avoid Modifications to Control Project Costs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t modify the system.&nbsp;<\/strong>Beware of scope creep. It\u2019s been our experience that upwards of 70 percent of developed modifications are either unnecessary or are replaced with future system upgrades. Stick to the base! Change your processes, as necessary. Base implementation risks are significantly reduced (risks of cost over-runs, schedule delays, future upgrade difficulties and costs). Also, once the initial design is completed and agreed to, be adamant about not allowing significant changes, as these will invariably extend the timeline, add cost, and introduce higher risk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-incorporate-testing-training-and-go-live-elements-into-your-project-budget\">7: Incorporate Testing, Training, and Go-Live Elements into Your Project Budget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Project components that often get missed are ones that occur when the transition starts happening, things like testing, training and go-live. As part of the change management process, the software vendor will start moving more responsibility over to the customer, and the customer needs to incorporate this phase into the project cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The customer has to make sure that they have the resources and the time for that transition. Most projects fail in these final steps when people haven&#8217;t done a thorough job of testing specific requirements. When resources are not thoroughly trained, they can be the main factor of project failure once the warehouse management system goes live.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also the go-live support. If you\u2019re a 24\/7 type of operation, make sure that you have people that are available to help support you during those first two weeks. The success of a WMS implementation is going to be strongly influenced by those first two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-manage-project-scope-instead-of-forcing-shortcuts\">8: Manage Project Scope Instead of Forcing Shortcuts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, shortcuts are typically looked down upon. There\u2019s always the question of how to do things faster. You have time, you have resources, you have costs, and these things have to be managed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the things that is encouraged when looking for potential shortcuts is to not try to do the same amount of work in a shorter amount of time. That can have some risk associated with it, so try to pare the scope down a little bit instead. Phased implementation still allows you to get the value a little quicker while helping you achieve the overall goal and scope that you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-doing-your-wms-implementation-the-right-way\"><strong>Doing Your WMS Implementation the Right Way<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking the time up front to consider your system requirements and plan your project goes a long way to following the <a href=\"https:\/\/web.envistacorp.techyscouts.dev\/dos-donts-warehouse-management-system-implementation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts of WMS Implementations<\/a>. Make sure to remember these key considerations, and you\u2019ll be on your way to a successful warehouse management system implementation project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Take the right amount of time to design exactly where you think the warehouse management system will have a role within your operation.<\/li><li>Look at IT capabilities, functional requirements, and any type of cost-benefit analysis because there are a lot of options out there.<\/li><li>Make sure that this is a process led by you and not a vendor led process. They&#8217;re working for you, and you&#8217;re in the driver&#8217;s seat. Pick the system that will meet your needs.<\/li><li>You can\u2019t ever do enough testing or training. Informing the organisation as to why you\u2019re making this change, what&#8217;s the benefit to the organisation, who&#8217;s going to be involved, and what the long-term benefits are going to be could be a 2-3 year process from start to finish.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve got a warehouse management system project on the horizon, we invite you to reach out to our team. enVista has over 15 years of experience implementing warehouse management systems from the best vendors in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s have a <a href=\"https:\/\/envistacorp.techyscouts.dev\/contact\/\">conversation<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>enVista has over 15 years experience managing hundreds of warehouse management system (WMS) implementation projects.
