WMS Architecture & ROI Assessment

Is a WMS worth it for your warehouse?

Answer eight questions about how your warehouse runs and get a report with your projected savings, how long the investment takes to pay back, and the system architecture your operation actually calls for. Free, and yours in about three minutes.

What the report contains

A savings range, not a single number

Annual savings modeled across conservative, typical and best-case outcomes, plus the payback window and five-year value. The spread is the honest part: results vary more with how the rollout is run than with the software.

The architecture your answers point to

Your operation is scored into one of four complexity tiers, then given the specific decisions that follow: what the data layer has to guarantee, whether real-time is warranted, and how to handle the systems you need to connect.

The reasoning, not just the conclusion

Every recommendation links to the section of our engineering guide that explains it, so you can check the thinking rather than take our word for it.

Every assumption, stated plainly

The report ends with the full list of figures the model rests on and tells you which one to replace with your own. It carries no price, because we have not scoped your build yet.

Step 1 of 4

Your operation

Rough numbers are fine. Everything here changes the savings estimate, so a close guess beats a blank.

sq ft

Total operating floor area.

Outbound orders, not line items.

Distinct items you currently stock.

People working the floor, not the whole company.

How the assessment works

The savings model and the architecture recommendations both come from the same engineering work behind our scalable WMS architecture guide, which documents the decisions in full if you want the long version.

Built from your numbers, not averages

Savings are calculated from the volumes, labor cost and error rate you enter. Nothing is filled in from an industry benchmark, which is why a rough figure you actually know beats a precise one you do not.

Architecture from requirements, not fashion

The recommendations follow from your integration surface and real-time needs. If your operation does not warrant a message queue or an event log, the report will not recommend one.

Ranges over false precision

A single savings figure would look more confident and be less true. The report leads with a range and tells you which assumption moves it most, so you can judge it yourself.

Who is behind the recommendations

The same engineers who build these systems wrote the model behind this report. Our longest warehouse and distribution partnership was begun by our founding engineers before Rorix existed and has continued under Rorix since.

Project management at Rorix is top-notch. They deliver on time, stay responsive, and adapt to our needs. They don't just stop when daily tasks are done, they keep refining lower-priority items and actively suggest improvements to better the system.Moe F, Software Director at Lorecs

Questions about the assessment

About three minutes. There are eight questions across three short screens covering your volumes, what you run today, and what the system needs to connect to. Rough numbers are fine; every field has a sensible starting value you can adjust.

A PDF report built from your answers. It restates your inputs, gives an annual savings range and a payback window, names the architecture tier your operation falls into, and lists the specific architecture decisions your answers point to with links to the engineering reasoning behind each one. It closes with the full list of assumptions behind every number.

No, and that is deliberate. What a build costs depends on scope we have not discussed yet, so any number we printed would be guesswork. The report gives you savings ranges and an architecture direction. Pricing belongs in a conversation where we can scope the work properly.

Only if you book the call yourself. The report downloads immediately and a copy goes to your inbox. There is a link to our calendar if you want to talk it through, but nothing happens automatically.

They are a modeled estimate, not a forecast, which is why the report leads with a range rather than a single figure. The single assumption that moves the result most is the cost of a picking error, which we model at $50 per order. If you know your real figure, substitute it. Every other assumption is listed in the report so you can check our working rather than take it on trust.

Yes. Tell us you are running an existing WMS and the assessment models the gap between where you are and what your volumes now call for. Operations that have outgrown a system they bought years ago are the most common case we see.

Your answers are used to generate your report and are stored with your contact details so we can follow up if you ask us to. We do not sell or share them. The details are in our privacy policy.

No obligation

Prefer to just talk it through?

If you would rather skip the questionnaire, book a call and we will work through the same ground with you directly. If a WMS is not the right investment for you right now, we will say so.
