An Oracle WMS alternative built around how you run.
Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud is Oracle's cloud warehouse management application, part of its supply chain suite. It began as Logfire's cloud WMS, which Oracle acquired in 2016. thinkbridge builds one system around how your warehouse runs, connects it to the equipment and ERP you keep, and at the end of the term you own it.
Signs you've outgrown Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud
- The warehouse system is tied to a wider Oracle rollout that is slower than the warehouse needs.
- Putaway, picking and shipping rules need configuration work for every new customer.
- Rush orders and exceptions are handled in spreadsheets and by phone.
- Each interface to the ERP, the carriers or the scanners is a separate project.
Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud compared with a system you own
| Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud | thinkbridge | |
|---|---|---|
| How it fits | Configured around the vendor's standard warehouse process; rules that don't fit are handled with custom code, add-ons or spreadsheets | Modeled on how your warehouse actually runs, including its exceptions |
| Who owns it | You license it; the vendor owns the code and the roadmap | You own the code, the data model and the business logic |
| How you pay | Subscription or license, plus implementation and support fees | Priced on outcomes, paid over an agreed term |
| Equipment and systems | Interfaces to scanners, equipment and the ERP are built and maintained as separate projects | Connected to the scanners, equipment and ERP you keep, as part of the system you own |
| After go-live | Changes go through the vendor, a partner or an upgrade cycle | Managed care keeps improving it; low-risk changes ship to a beta you approve |
| AI | Added through the vendor's roadmap and add-ons | Built into the workflows from the start |
