NorthStarWMS is the Heart of Our Operation
This is my first time starting up a warehouse operation and with NorthStars help we were able to accomplish setup and going live status in a small amount of time without hiring any outside help or consultants. We compared NorthStarWMS to 5 other companies and found NorthStarWMS to be our best option. We decided to purchase NorthStarWMS instead of leasing after watching a demonstration of the software. The warehouse statistics are presented to upper management by reports, KPI’s and charts, which is a big part of our companies decision making process. Anytime we want to improve a process, we contact customer service and after explaining what we’re trying to accomplish, we’re offered different options to accomplish the task. NorthStarWMS has been able to do everything we’ve asked for and more.
Pros
Continuous Improvements, Automations with scanners and printers, Intergration with Quickbooks, EDI, and Website. Options on Receiving , Pick ,Pack, and Shipping. Visibility of orders all the way to the customer. Visibility of inventory. Data gathering. We have never been on inactive status due to NorthstarWMS.
Cons
I don’t have any cons at this time

Great WMS software
Prior to purchasing, they came to our facility for 1 day and interviewed my people who would be using the software. After that they did a statement of work which detailed everything their software would do for us, implementation plan, the hardware required (label printers, mobile devices…etc), training process, all based on a fixed price.
They showed up on a Monday morning to train and we started receiving live on Monday afternoon, Tuesday we were pick/pack/shipping and Wednesday all parts of the WMS were live.
All features work as expected.
Pros
Great support, if they did not actually answer the phone when we called, we get a call back within an hour or less.
Easy setup with lots of config options.
Inventory control, lot tracking, recall reports.
Great pick/pack/ship features.
Both workstation software and mobile app are easy to use
Connection to QuickBooks works great, imports/exports sales orders, sales receipts, work order, etc.
Cons
I have no complaints.
Advice to Others
Work with a company who is willing to come onsite, do a statement of work and give you a fixed price so you know exactly what you are getting and how much it will cost you.
Talk to other companies using the software, ask about their experience with the software and with support.
We purchased their on-premise version because we wanted to own it, but they also have a SaaS version for those who would rather rent.
