Our customers who have opted for HighJump warehouse management software (WMS) or direct store delivery (DSD) software in the cloud tell us that cloud deployment allows them to do what they do best, namely serve their customers. So in a way, the decision to put your supply chain management software in the cloud can be summed up in two words: core competency.
I’m willing to bet that what your business does best probably doesn’t involve maintaining servers and building disaster recovery plans. Leaving the everyday “grunt work” of maintaining your WMS or DSD route accounting system to your software vendor frees up the human resource that you would typically have dedicated to this maintenance. This resource can then reallocate their time to activities that add value and support the company’s competencies and strategies. In addition to this resource allocation, financial resources that would be dedicated to cooling the server and paying for the energy the server consumes are reallocated as well. Again, these finances can be refocused towards company objectives.
Look, if you want to maintain the servers, then feel free to. Just know that you don’t have to. HighJump Software offers you solutions to better leverage your supply chain execution software in whatever deployment model you prefer.
