According to Aptean, as we begin 2026, now is an ideal time for warehouse managers to evaluate how WMS technology can reduce costs, unlock opportunity benefits and fund the next wave of innovation, ensuring their operations remain efficient, competitive and resilient. Organisations which invest in WMS typically see payback in six to 24 months, followed by ongoing reductions in operating costs, with long-term annual ROI often between 15% and 100%, depending on scale and objectives. A WMS releases budgets, time and people from manual processes, tedious error correction and inefficient stock handling, so they can be redeployed elsewhere.
It’s excellent to see so many I.T. solutions being rolled out across the industry, helping logistics maximise efficiency.
