Success in retail and e-commerce depends heavily on the performance of logistics operations. Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) are a powerful tool to professionalize warehouse processes. At the same time, traditional WMS projects are often costly, time-consuming, and complex.
Retailers, e-commerce companies, and logistics service providers with similar process structures particularly benefit from standardized solutions. PSIwms GO Retail addresses this need directly, enabling a fast and efficient entry into professional warehouse management -without lengthy project timelines or extensive customization. As a standardized SaaS solution, PSIwms GO Retail provides a pragmatic and cost-efficient alternative to traditional, highly customized WMS projects.
PSIwms GO Retail is the standardized edition with 26 preconfigured logistics processes, specifically designed for retail and e-commerce. The system covers all essential functions - from goods receipt and storage to picking, shipping, and returns. While customized WMS solutions are typically geared toward complex, large-scale projects, PSIwms GO Retail is ideal for warehouse operations with structurally similar processes in retail, e-commerce, and third-party logistics (3PL). The principle is simple: where processes are comparable, standardization is more efficient and cost-effective than customization. Thanks to the reduced project effort, companies benefit from faster implementation and lower total costs.
As a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, PSIwms GO Retail is delivered entirely from the cloud and ready to use without lengthy preparation. Companies do not need to maintain their own IT infrastructure, manage servers, or handle installations. Updates, security, and system operations are automatically managed by PSI, ensuring the system is always up to date and secure without requiring in-house IT resources. Additionally, cloud-based access allows flexible usage from any location - a clear advantage for small teams, seasonal staff, or external partners.
Efficient logistics for retail & e-commerce
Discover in our whitepaper how to quickly implement professional warehouse logistics with a standardized SaaS solution, reduce costs, and increase efficiency. For modern retail companies, moving from complex, custom-built projects to a standardized, cloud-based solution is a critical step. Minimize IT overhead and gain a competitive edge with ready-to-use, best-practice processes.
Logistics standard for retail:
Standardized processes in three categories
- Goods receipt: This category covers all processes for receiving, inspecting, and storing incoming goods in the appropriate storage locations.
- Replenishment management: This category includes all processes that manage the demand - driven transfer of reserve stock to picking areas, ensuring sufficient inventory is always available for order fulfillment.
- Goods issue: This category encompasses all processes from picking, consolidation, and packing to handover to CEP or freight forwarding service providers in shipment-ready form.
In practice: PSIwms GO Retail in use at RMD
The following use case highlights the practical benefits of PSIwms GO Retail: Contract logistics provider RMD Logistics serves around 70 customers across the B2B and B2C sectors and operates approximately 85,000 pallet and 130,000 container storage locations. Until recently, the company relied on a variety of individually developed software solutions tailored to specific customer requirements. This high level of customization, however, made the systems difficult to scale and adapt for new customers.
To streamline process requirements and serve new customer segments more efficiently, RMD Logistics standardized its software landscape by implementing the preconfigured PSIwms editions GO, FLEX, and PRO.
With PSIwms GO Retail, RMD Logistics established a new business unit, “Fulfillmate,” specifically targeting startups with small order volumes, enabling new customers to be onboarded in just two days. Customers with more complex requirements are served via the FLEX edition, which provides extended configuration options and supports B2B scenarios, merchandising environments, and bulky goods logistics.
The PRO edition is used for complex, large-scale projects with a high degree of automation and customized process requirements.
The introduction of this edition-based approach has delivered clear improvements: processes have been digitized, projects are now more scalable, and customers can be assigned to the most appropriate solution based on complexity and effort.
Further details can be found in the case study WMS editions successfully implemented at RMD in pilot project or in the accompanying video.
AI-optimized with PSIwms AI
Although positioned as an entry-level solution, PSIwms GO Retail includes a powerful differentiator: the PSIwms AI platform is already integrated as standard through the award-winning Batch AI module, enabling AI-supported optimization without any additional implementation effort.
Batch AI, recognized as “Best Product” at LogiMAT 2025, supports both rule-based and AI-driven creation of optimal picking batches for single-stage and two-stage picking strategies. This reduces travel distances, boosts picking performance, and enhances overall process efficiency.
Further details are available in the press release PSI wins Best Product Award at LogiMAT 2025.
Conclusion: Professional warehouse management as standard
Highly customized WMS solutions offer maximum flexibility—but often come with high project effort, long implementation times, and increased investment risk, especially for standardized retail and e-commerce operations.
This is where SaaS solutions like PSIwms GO Retail excel. By avoiding complex individual developments, they provide ready-to-use best-practice processes. The result: shorter project timelines, lower IT costs, and reduced risk—while still giving companies access to professional, stable, and scalable warehouse processes that were previously available only to larger enterprises.
