Very good book to get WMS knowledge FAST!!!
This book assisted us to understand the WMS space in a fast clip. We did -not- understand the WMS software vertical prior to this and by using this book, it helped us to get an experienced consultant's mindset. Now we can tell the "boys from the men" and the "pretenders from the contenders" based on what functionality the WMS package has or has not! Obal goes into 45 functional areas and labels these as "common differentiators" (differences) and "common deficiences" (missing items). Bravo for a brave person to point out what items to look for, during the search process!!

a simple checklist
The text is simplistic. It names the names but doesn't go into depth about the pros and cons of various system features. If you're new to the world of WMS and looking to purchase one from a third-party vendor, this pamphlet provides a convenient checklist of features to ask potential vendors about. If you're already familiar with the terrain, don't waste your money. I purchased the book hoping to find a couple of ideas that would help me improve the WMS in my company. It took me an hour to read, during which time I got one new idea I might use, someday. For that reason only, I'm not going to ask for a refund.

It's more than just What To Look For In a WMS.
This publication provided an insightful description of common deficiencies and differentiators within WMS software. The book, coupled with the other components of IDII's standard bundle of tools, proved to be quite the time saver and a great asset to our search for a robust WMS. A sample Request For Information (RFI) is included with "What to look for in a Warehouse Management System Software", however the 300 question automated RFI and Software Directory, which I received directly from IDII, proved to be the combination of tools that has expediated our process to finding a WMS to fit our unique needs.
