This accolade underscores Datex's commitment to innovation and excellence in delivering top-tier WMS solutions to mid-sized enterprises.
The Significance of Recognition
Being acknowledged by Gartner® is no small feat. Gartner, a leading global research and advisory firm, assesses numerous software vendors based on various factors, including vision and execution capabilities. In an era where supply chain complexity is rampant, businesses require flexible solutions that can adapt to evolving needs and challenges. Datex's Footprint WMS® stands out by providing a robust, scalable, and integration-ready framework that enables warehouse operators to navigate these challenges effectively.
Michael Armanious, CEO of Datex, stated, “Footprint WMS is Engineered for Easy™, built to adapt and ready for anything.” This assertion reflects not only the user-friendly design embedded in the software, which promotes ease of access and utilization, but also speaks to its innovative cloud-native architecture powered by Microsoft Azure.
Focused on Flexibility and Integration
The flexibility of Datex's WMS solutions is further complemented by its plug-and-play setup, offering real-time insights and the capacity for users to customize workflows, analytics, and user interfaces without needing extensive vendor intervention. As businesses face stringent compliance requirements, the built-in compliance features and end-to-end visibility provided by Footprint WMS serve as significant advantages, allowing warehouse operations to be streamlined and efficient.
Moreover, the integration processes facilitated by Datex stand out. With an array of APIs and pre-built connectors, the WMS seamlessly connects with various platforms ranging from eCommerce systems to ERP solutions and automation tools. This eliminates the frustrations typically associated with integrations, making it simpler for businesses to adopt and utilize technology that enhances their operations.
Proven Track Record in 3PL

With over 45 years of experience in this domain, Datex's Footprint WMS has proven its capability by providing real-time inventory visibility, tailored client workflows, and advanced billing functionalities. This tailored approach has indeed gained traction within the 3PL community, with over 80% of Datex’s clientele being 3PLs themselves.
