Waer in the Cloud

All organisations, whether large or small, need to innovate and improve to stay ahead of their competitors. This needs to be done at the same time as keeping operational costs as low as is practicably possible. It is this need that led Waer to move to a Cloud Computing model to deliver the WaerLinx solution to our global customer base.

What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud Computing is a relatively new model for provisioning and consuming IT capabilities based on need and the capability to pay as you go. This effectively allows companies to flexibly access completely scalable business solutions.

What are the benefits of Cloud Computing services?

The value proposition then is pretty simple as costs are naturally reduced as the usage of hardware is optimised for current need rather than allowing for future growth that cannot be determined. In addition, a Cloud based strategy de-risks technology investments as the costs are captured as operational expenses rather than in a traditional CAPEX budget. The benefits are not just financial though. The capability to switch a service on or off greatly increases the agility of a company’s IT infrastructure and it also addresses one of the key issues in any IT strategy – scalability. In practice, Cloud based services are massively scalable that can accommodate surges in load and seasonal change.

Is the Cloud for my supply chain?

So it is easy to see why it is a good idea to look at solutions in the cloud but what types of application lend themselves to this model? Naturally enough, Waer believe that WMS solutions are a perfect fit. The roll out is speeded up, new warehouses and suppliers can be integrated easily thanks to the flexibility and scalability benefits. ERP interfacing is simplified too and the cost of acquisition for our customers drops dramatically when compared to an on-premise model.

Cloud based warehouse management delivers major benefits and savings. Waer are leading the field as an early adopter so please contact us and see how a Cloud solution can revolutionise your supply chain and warehousing operations.
