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, self-hosted warehouse execution system for e-commerce businesses that already use a system of record or ERP. It handles receiving, storage, picking, packing, shipping, and counting, including multiple warehouses. Teams can batch orders for picking with serpentine walk-path optimization. Inventory tools include bin-level cycle counts with variance detection and admin approval, plus adjustments and transfers. Barcode lookup from the mobile app home screen can identify items, bins, purchase orders, or sales orders. An inbound API accepts updates for sales orders, items, customers, vendors, and purchase orders using source-specific YAML mappings and scoped WMS tokens. Its connector framework is intended for ERP and commerce platforms, but operators or developers must build the connectors; first-party ones are planned for v2.0.0. The documented deployment uses Docker Compose, a Flask API, PostgreSQL 16, a React admin panel, and a React Native Expo mobile app. The public project is under Apache-2.0 and documents encrypted connector credentials, a hash-chained audit log, and SSRF protections.
