Is there an ERP system out there that is smart enough to understand the logistics and warehousing landscape?

If this question had been asked 15 years ago, it would've been much easier to answer. A resounding "NO" would have filled your ears as the solutions available at the time were few and far between. And really not that great. Your choices were limited to manually working out the complex space optimisation calculations that made month end a never-ending paper battle. Not much to work with, hey?

With few or no software products truly understanding the headaches you have to bear, in-house IT gurus were employed to develop a custom software package specifically for you.  Initially it seemed like a good idea, but after five years and only 30% of your business on the system, you fired the whole bunch and started to 'software' shop again.

Painful demo after yet another painful demo were slept through until you eventually settled for a second-rate system offering you only 65% of the necessary functionality you so desperately need (as opposed to a mere 40%). Chances are this "solution" only vaguely resembled a general ledger (maybe they were once in the same room at the same time) and didn't even begin to come close to touching on any logistical integrities.

Fortunately today there are many options and we've got the (thank goodness!) answer.
