Small-scale industries traditionally operate their warehouses with legacy systems. As the annual income of small-scale industries is not very high, investments to set up WMS seem to be an unnecessary expense for these business owners. Similarly, they have a small amount of workforce, among which finding a skilled worker to maintain WMS, may be a tedious and investing task.Owing to the reluctance to replace traditional systems and limited growth plans, business owners in small-scale industries fail to recognize the benefits they can avail of by using WMS. Further, significant investments associated with the deployment of WMS and high upfront costs restrain the adoption of WMS. The deployment of WMS involves extra costs for license purchase, upgrades, and employee training; this factor also limits the adoption of WMS by small-scale industries.


The supply chain in today’s time is a series of discrete and isolated phases/stages—ranging from marketing, product development, manufacturing, and distribution stages to end users and after-sales services. With the rise in technological advancements, digitization has spread across all operations of the supply chain. The digitization of the supply chain aids in building a completely integrated ecosystem, which is fully transparent to all the players involved—from suppliers of raw materials, components, and parts to transporters of the supplies and finished goods, and finally to the customers demanding fulfillment.
