Many, many professionals have used the IDII Standard WMS RFI and have loved it due to the following factors: 1-Vendor responses are validated, 2-Negative responses have a yellow (caution) colored background, 3-Postive responses have a green (positive) colored background, 4-Can be e-mailed back and forth to the software vendors and fellow software selection team members, 5-Time Savings in cutting the time spent on RFP development and less time spent looking for solutions.

The two books that are described and are available separately from Amazon.com. The software directory gives WHO is out there in the industry. The report "What To Look For In WMS Software" gives an education on common differences & deficiencies (strengths & weaknesses) in the industry.

Requires Microsoft(TM) Excel 97 or Higher.

This review is from: Standard Warehouse Management System Search Bundle, WMS (Spiral-bound)

These tools assisted us in locating Unix & NT WMS solutions in a rapid manner. From there we took the RFI questions and expanded them. The format of the questions are outstanding, as answers are validated and color coded. Negative responses have a yellow (warning) background and positive responses have a green (go for it) background. IDII also has an ADVANCED WMS RFI BUNDLE, which is what 3PL's and more sophisticated warehousing operations
need. Considering the cost of consulting , this is a good value!
