Custom Warehouse Management System (WMS) software and Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) solutions offer different approaches to meeting companies' specific unique needs. Here's a compilation of the key differences:
Custom WMS software
Custom WMS software is specifically tailored to the unique requirements and workflows of a particular company. This approach involves developing a WMS solution from scratch or customizing existing software to match an organization's processes precisely.
COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) WMS
COTS WMS solutions are off-the-shelf, standardized software packages that are commercially available and designed for the wider market. These solutions include features designed to meet typical warehouse management needs.
