    Like I previously mentioned, this software fits our needs right now because it allows us to control inventory and remove items when needed from our participating retailer's websites. The price is reasonable. Our traffic and shipping teams have also used this software to create fewer touch points in shipping and make the process more digital. That has been a big winner for us. You'll definitely want an internal IT team to support this software. The implementation process is long and tedious and you will need to restructure to fit your needs. That is difficult to do when you are a smaller business with cross-functional employees.

    Cons
    IBM
    • Not able to export lists to excel. This is a big negative for me personally. It makes it harder and more time consuming to clean up accounts.
    • Doesn't warn you if the same sender and receiver code are on another list.
    • The dashboard is not the best. The next button that you would assume takes you to the next page actually doesn't, it ends up showing past interactions with the software. You have to click on the tiny numbers at the top to navigate. Super annoying. Not very user-friendly or appealing to the eye.

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • The overall impact has been good for us and I do feel like the software is worth the money they just need to do a lot of updating and making the software more user-friendly.
    • As a ecommerce account manager, it is important that we are able to remove and add items quickly to our retailer sites. This software has allowed us to do that.
    • Would like to see a more knowledgeable support staff that are able to work through issues in a timely matter.

MetaOption MetaADCS Warehouse Management System provides end-to-end inventory tracking and visibility. All material is identified with a unique License Plate (LP) allowing the system to track material with a high level of precisionScreenshot of License Plate Management (License Plating) from MetaADCS provides users with the ability to track and generate labels to reference entire pallets, boxes, crates, or containers that contain mixed items or mixed lot/serial numbers.

The License Plates barcodes are easily printed directly from handheld devices and can be used for picking, receiving, movements, consumption, and shipping.Screenshot of Containers are used throughout the inbound and outbound processes to consolidate orders. A unique identifier is assigned to each container and as orders are processed, data is captured and linked to that unique number. All information pertaining to the contents and movements of the order are captured and recorded.Screenshot of Picking is usually the most important process in inventory processing science.

For most inventory centric companies, the outbound side of the inventory is not only where most companies generate their profit, but its also the most labor intensive.
