We have installed Oracle WMS Cloud for inventory management of our various warehouses. By optimization, the supply chain optimized the stock/inventory level to the minimum for cost reduction. Paperwork and manpower requirement has been reduced by utilization its supply-chain analytics. material requisitions, Dispatch, and Receiving reports, stock audits are all now synchronized and available at one dashboard.
Pros
Material requisitions
Dispatch
Receiving reports
Stock audits
Cons
It takes a long time to implement, took us almost a year.
Real-time inventory API is not present, which is an intense need in the e-commerce market for order placement.
It took time for big amount of data
Likelihood to Recommend
Easy to implement, easy to operate, it must expand its portfolio options to be able to operate all the logistics processes of the warehouses.
It's being used by the whole organization, and we use it to manage our warehouse. Our company has more than a line of business, we manage more than 600 stores, between small and big supermarkets. We use it in order to manage the inventory or replenishments.
Pros
Manage a lot of information - we manage 600+ stores of various sizes with millions of products across them to manage. Oracle Warehouse Management cloud is able to handle all our data.
It has a lot of parametrization inside - when we add a new store, we are able to do so easily, no matter its size.
It's flexible - adding new information, stores, or changing information is easy to do.
It's scalable - again, as we add or change stores, we are able to do so with this software.
Cons
The support is still poor.
Improve SLAs - it takes a lot of time to resolve our problems. Sometimes, things aren't completed in the way we need.
Improve hardware.
Likelihood to Recommend
We use Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud to manage warehouses from small to big based on configuration the software we can manage multiple business functions like to create new flows of buying. I supposed where it is less appropriate would be when your business has a lot of customization inside, because this kind of tool does not fit in it.

We deployed Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud a couple of months ago, and
since deploying in one department, we are in the process of implementing Oracle
Warehouse Management Cloud in our whole organization, which will completed
by the end of this year.
We chose to deploy Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud for our e-commerce
domain. Since the deployment, we have been managing our warehouse so well. We have
been using a complete ERP from Oracle. Thus, we have integrated Oracle Fusion
Cloud with Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud, which reduced our manned power as
well as manual working. Before that, we had multiple team members who manually
maintained records and processed payments, but since we opted for Oracle Warehouse
Management Cloud, all the operations works is done by system checks automatically.
Pros
Tracking of individual items from Inbound to Outbound
Easy allocation of items to orders
Dispatch of items to 3PLs
Return Merchant Authorization and Return to Vendor process automation
Cycle counting - counting of available items on a certain time period
Placement of items at their proper/allocated location in Warehouse
Cons
We can enter manual entries into Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud and all manual entries do not have proper control.
It performs slow when it must extract the data in large amounts.
Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud doesn’t maintain sales return entries because it’s not an order management system. In order to use this feature, we need to configure or deploy another solution, which is Order Management System. We cannot consider it as a demerit of Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud but for a single feature, we cannot deploy another module. .
Likelihood to Recommend
Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud is better to use for inventory management or warehouse management only. It does not give you all the features that Oracle offers in its Order Management System. So before opting for an ERP for your organization, I would say to take expert advice.
