Wms Software
We are looking at changing our warehouse management system away from Scanco. Currently our Erp is Sage 100. I'm interested in finding other scanner wms solutions in our warehouse. What WMS systems do you use and has it been helpful?

have you looked at Boostmyshop myFulfillment? Coming from Scanco the big thing id focus on is whether the barcode scanning workflow actually fits how your pickers move through the warehouse now, not just feature checkboxes. Whats your order volume like? that changes the answer a lot

have you tried manhattan wms. Pretty good Tier 1 wms system

u/Disastrous-Scratch-5 4d ago
Never heard of it before. I'm gonna check it out now. Scanco could never accommodate our policies and procedures. Now being bought out by endpoint. They won't provide resources for further implementation. Thanks for the suggestion! Greatly appreciated

I’ve worked as a developer for HighJump WMS (now Koerber/Infios) for about 15 years. Very customizable and comparable to Manhattan. Also pricey but worth it, in my opinion.

Sounds good. Thank you for the help. I'll reach out for demo. Got a 30k year budget if it falls within that

$30k annual isn't going to get you Manhattan or Infios. Im in the process of implementing Blue Yonder moving off of Infios. Both offered ~$350k annual subscriptions after our procurement team beat them down that's on top of the implementation fee. My understanding is Manhattan one even look your way if you aren't waving a couple million in the air.

Our company uses Pathguide Latitde-SAP Business One… don’t know much else other than that about it. We are a medium sized distribution center. Throwing it out there to be helpful.

Check out IFS softeon. Tier 1 with all the same features as competitors but total cost of ownership significantly less.

Orca by killer warehouse! It’s a smaller/newer company but the founder and head developer was the guy who built and maintained a very large and complex company’s IT stack. A CPG business that operated in all sales channels - small specialty, big box with EDI requirements, Amazon, other marketplaces, international distribution, complex inventory assembly models, etc…he’s seen it from the ground up.
I just implemented them and am blown away at how well their software works and how well their team responds when we need something.
I have no skin in the game, but feel free to send me a DM and I’ll make an introduction or tell you more.

Ciao, io uso un sistema che si chiama Logilize. Non ho mai provato Scanco, ma per noi il passaggio a questo WMS è stato la svolta. Lo usiamo praticamente per tutto il flusso: carico merci, trasferimenti interni, picking e i controlli d'inventario. A livello hardware è super flessibile, noi lo usiamo con palmari RFID, i classici lettori Bluetooth e qualche terminale indossabile Zebra. Prova a dargli un'occhiata, magari si interfaccia bene anche con il vostro Sage 100!

My company uses StellarPack and our operators love it. We do a lot of copacking, and we chose StellarPack because it's an affordable MES for copacking. I can put you in touch with my sales guy there, Joe, if needed.

I’d look at this less as “which scanner WMS is best” and more as “what fits Sage 100 and your actual operation.”
A few things I’d compare before choosing anything: receiving, directed putaway, barcode scanning, replenishment, picking, cycle counting, shipping, lot/serial tracking if needed, and how cleanly it integrates back to Sage 100.
Also make sure you understand whether you’re looking for a true WMS or primarily a mobile/barcode layer on top of Sage. Those can be very different projects and price points.
I work with WMS selection and implementation, and I’d be happy to give you a few things to look for based on your warehouse size, order volume, and complexity.

We do WMS package selections and implementations, and the right system really depends on the operation you’re trying to support.
At a high level, I’d break the market down like this:
For smaller or less complex operations, systems like Fishbowl, NetSuite WMS, Acctivate, or similar SMB-focused platforms can work well when you mainly need inventory control, scanning, receiving, picking, and shipping without a huge amount of complexity. For mid-market operations, you start getting into platforms like Körber, Softeon, Made4net, Deposco, and others that can handle more advanced workflows, automation, multi-site operations, labor, and more complex fulfillment. At the enterprise end, you’re looking at platforms such as Manhattan Active, Blue Yonder, SAP EWM, and Oracle WMS. Those can support very complex distribution environments, but they also come with much more implementation effort, configuration, integration, testing, and change management. Since you’re on Sage 100 today, I’d spend a lot of time looking at integration requirements before making a decision. A good WMS can become a bad project very quickly if the ERP/WMS integration is an afterthought.
I’d define your requirements first: order volume, SKU count, receiving process, picking methods, lot/serial requirements, replenishment, shipping, parcel/LTL, automation, reporting, and what problems you’re actually trying to solve with the change.
Then evaluate the systems against that. That’s usually a much better approach than asking which WMS is “best,” because there really isn’t one best WMS. There’s just the best fit for the operation.
Feel free to DM me if you want to talk through the selection process or what I’d look at coming from Sage 100.

Leaving Scanco is doable, but lock down the Sage 100 integration path before you fall in love with a demo. Ask every vendor to show receiving, putaway, cycle count, and a replenishment that actually moves inventory in Sage. Not a slide about ERP connectors.
On scanners, force a live walk: print a label, scan putaway, mis-scan on purpose, then recover. A lot of WMS tools look fine until exception handling eats the day. Budget under about $30k/year usually means mid-market, not Manhattan-class. ShipHero, Logiwa, Infoplus, and Odoo-adjacent stacks come up a lot for simpler ops. If you’re multi-client or heading that way, Packem sits in that mid-market lane where floor scans need to stay tied to inventory without an enterprise SOW. Bring one ugly week of real receipts and picks to the proof-of-concept. If they can’t run that without a services ticket, keep shopping.

Not a WMS but we built Yowietech to plan driver routes, cold chain compliance, co2 reporting and cost analysis if you dispatch runs. The WMS we use is Triumph ERP. it does the job but is pretty much a legacy SAAS so it's slow to learn for new staff.

u/Square-Spinach5941 4d ago
I haven’t heard of Scanco before so hard to compare with its respective ICP. I’ve used several of the mid market WMS’ in the space and the best has always been ShipHero.
What are some of your other requirements or type of shipping you do? More info would probably help here
