COGLAS WEB WMS vs Sentry WMS

COGLAS WEB WMS manages warehouse work from receiving goods through storage, picking, packing and shipping. It also covers inventory, stocktaking and internal material flow. Mobile workflows guide workers through the article, location and quantity to pick, using scan checks to help reduce picking errors. The system supports barcode scanning, cycle counting, wave picking, shipping labels and multiple warehouses. Listed integrations include SAP S/4HANA and R/3, Microsoft Dynamics, Shopify, Magento, Billbee, DHL, DPD and UPS. Data can also move through REST API, JSON, XML, XLSX, CSV, SFTP or SAP IDoc interfaces. COGLAS is available as a cloud service or for operation in a customer's IT environment. The cloud version runs in a browser on PCs, tablets and mobile devices without local installation. Hosting in Germany and GDPR compliance are stated for the cloud service. Pricing starts at €490 a month, with scope varying by users, modules, integrations and volume. There is no free plan; test access follows a personal online demo, with no trial duration stated.

Sentry WMS is a free, open-source warehouse management system for e-commerce fulfillment. It covers receiving, storage, picking, packing, shipping, and counting, while relying on an existing database or ERP to manage orders, products, or customers. Pick Walk supports batch picking across multiple orders with serpentine walk path optimization. Inventory functions include bin-level cycle counts with variance detection and an administrator approval workflow, along with transfers and adjustments tracked by reason. The connector framework provides a starting structure for ERP, commerce, and other HTTP API connections, but the project does not ship first-party connectors for named systems such as NetSuite, QuickBooks, Shopify, or BigCommerce. The documented stack includes a React web admin panel, a React Native mobile app, a Flask API, and Docker Compose deployment. Android setup uses a sideloaded APK connected to the operator's API server. Production deployment requires configured secrets; HTTPS requires a reverse proxy in front of the HTTP-only API. CSV or JSON bulk imports are limited to 5,000 records per import. Version 1.7.0 and later are Apache License 2.0; earlier tagged releases remain MIT-licensed.
