B2B Fulfilment: Pallets and Cartons

It is important to note that warehouse inventory management softwares are not just for warehouses. With a WMS solution, any company can manage its inventory and distribution processes more effectively - not just 3PL warehouse managers. For example, retailers and wholesalers alike can use a WMS to better manage their stock levels, track inventory movements, and generate reports on product performance. You can be a B2B warehouse operator with multiple warehouses to consider or a B2C ecommerce brand with listings on multiple marketplaces such as eBay, Amazon, and Etsy. Either way, a warehouse inventory management software can help you speed up your business processes as well as reduce errors.

The benefits of warehouse management software include improved inventory accuracy, improved customer service levels, reduced inventory costs, increased supply chain management visibility, reduced labour, and admin costs, increased speed of service, sales forecasting insight, and more. As a warehouse manager (or a brand that needs to employ one) this will be music to your ears - especially if you are often away, working from the head office.

Warehouse management faces several common challenges that can affect efficiency, costs, and service levels. These include poor warehouse layout and space utilisation, which can lead to congestion, wasted storage, and slower picking, as well as excessive travel time for staff, reducing productivity and increasing labour costs. 

Other challenges include process errors caused by manual workflows, limited real‑time visibility over inventory and operations, and rising costs as order volumes grow—particularly with e‑commerce. When these issues aren’t addressed early, they can result in delays, mis‑picks, and a poor customer experience. 

Addressing warehouse challenges requires a combination of process optimisation, better use of data, and the right supporting systems, more details can be found in our guide to overcoming warehouse management challenges. 

You implement a warehouse management system by setting clear operational goals, preparing clean and accurate data, and involving a small cross‑functional team from the outset. The system is then configured, staff are trained, and the WMS is rolled out in phases to reduce disruption, with ongoing support after go‑live to ensure adoption and continuous improvement.

A WMS is designed to automate, optimise and improve warehouse operations, whereas Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is the automation of processes across all areas of a business, from human resources to procurement. 

WMS can be used for both small and large warehouses but comes into its own with floors of over 20,000 square feet and the demands placed upon start to get complex. At this level and above it is sometimes referred to as an ERP system or enterprise resource planning.

The cost of a warehouse management system (WMS) depends on your warehouse size, order volume, number of users, and required features. 

On average, a WMS costs £8,000–£10,000 per user, with total system costs typically ranging from £10,000 to £25,000 for small to mid‑sized warehouses. 

Most modern WMS platforms use cloud‑based subscription pricing that scales with order volume rather than charging per user. Entry‑level plans often start from a few hundred pounds per month, while larger or more complex operations may require higher‑tier or custom pricing.
