Convincing leadership to invest in warehouse management isn’t just about showing savings. It’s about proving value, minimizing risk and aligning to strategic priorities. This recent Gartner® report helps logistics leaders do just that.
Key findings, according to Gartner®:
- Logistics leaders seeking approval for a WMS may find it challenging to secure stakeholder buy-in and alignment during the business case development process without a clear methodology.
- Required key business process outcomes and current deficiencies that may exist in the current state might be difficult to explain to senior management.
- Organizations face the challenge of planning and accurately measuring the actual ROI of WMS solutions post deployment despite improved ROI potential.
