Should the team take into account any other costs or benefits from

implementing the Ware House Management System MS? If so, what are they

Yes… this is because Most Ware House Management systems are third-party,
separate packages need to be integrated with the rest of business management
software i.e. ERP and the integration of external programs can work, the process
is normally fraught with problems i.e. duplicate data entry, information delays
and silos, interface issues and customization expenses. The scope of warehouse
inventory management software operation varies greatly from basic best
practices in pick, pack and ship operation to erudite programs coordinating
progressive interactions with material-handling devices and yard management.
The warehouse management system minimizes the possibility of errors that may
happen when a team’s cost is shipped and help the teams accomplish orders
more rapidly and promptly trace ordered products within the warehouse

Should the team take into account any other costs or benefits from
implementing the Transportation Management System TMS? If so, what are
they?

Yes…this is because the key operational functions when automated using

Transportation Management System can offer substantial remunerations to any
supply chain or logistics operation thus the mostly realized benefits is the
momentous improvement in customer service levels. The performance data
collected allows supply operators to make changes to both ineffective internal
processes and problem transportation partners. Data accuracy will also see
significant improvement hence when integrated into ERP or WMS systems data
entry errors are completely eliminated.
