RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Softeon scored in the 2020 Critical Capabilities for Warehouse Management Systems report from Gartner.*

Gartner notes that “Supply chain and IT leaders should use this Critical Capabilities research as part of an evaluation of WMS products. The evaluation is based on what Gartner considers to be the nine key differentiating product capabilities evaluated across five major use cases of warehouse and distribution center operational needs based on warehouse complexity.”

Softeon, a global provider of WMS, Warehouse Execution Systems (WES), Distributed Order Management (DOM) and other supply chain software solutions, was the second-ranked WMS provider in use cases for Level 4 and Level 5 Warehouse Operations, based on Gartner’s warehouse stratification model.
