Evolving the WMS, supporting the warehouse
The hardware refresh supporting C&M’s WMS went live in May 2025. I connected warehouse requirements, IT assessment and supplier discussions to support an important decision in the facility’s development.
My role in selecting the solution
I started with the warehouse’s operational needs and compared them with the technical proposals. Working with IT and the supplier, I helped clarify requirements, assess alternatives and connect the perspectives of operations and systems.
The assessment went beyond equipment supply. I also considered support, integration and assistance during the transition: essential aspects of selecting a solution for an automated logistics environment.
From assessment to go-live
The preparatory work led to the hardware refresh and enhancement that went live in May 2025. The new solution was introduced to support the WMS as part of the existing infrastructure’s development.
I kept operational continuity central to the discussions. A change of this kind must be considered in relation to warehouse operations, the needs of the people using the system and the support required during the transition.
Hardware and applications: an integrated approach
For me, the value of the project was addressing infrastructure and applications together. Hardware enhancement does not replace software optimisation: they are complementary aspects of developing the WMS.
This experience strengthened my approach to innovation: start with the process, connect expertise and select a solution with the whole warehouse in mind.
