When Does Your WMS Become a Business Constraint?

September 25, 2026

A WMS doesn’t have to fail to start holding your operation back.

As warehouse operations become more complex, the warning signs often show up as friction: more manual work, harder integrations, difficulty adapting to new customer requirements, and technology that struggles to keep pace with the business.

In this DC Velocity Supply Chain Short Takes interview, Datex President and CEO Michael Armanious discusses what warehouse and 3PL leaders should look for, what matters when evaluating a WMS, and where AI is already creating practical value.

“You’re throwing people at a problem. You’re having to resort to spreadsheets and clerical work to manipulate data. Those are usually the signs that the technology you have today is not keeping up with demand.”
