Descartes Peoplevox vs myWMS

Descartes Peoplevox has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

myWMS is an open-source framework for developing warehouse management systems. It supplies a data model and basic inventory-management services for WMS suppliers building systems for specific needs. Its communication interfaces connect to external systems, while internal interfaces allow plug-in modules to be exchanged. The maker describes the framework as independent of hardware and operating systems, and compatible with third-party products and modules. It is written in Java, and its source has been available under the GNU General Public License since March 2009. The maker offers myWMS LOS as a free download, including a demo for decision-makers. That demo uses a database the maker says should be replaced with a high-performance database for production use. Listed downloads include a Windows installer, an EAR package for JBoss, and source code. Documentation includes a user manual and a process description with an end-to-end example. The project started in 2001 as a research project initiated by Fraunhofer IML and funded by North Rhine-Westphalia. Platforms listed are Linux, Windows, web, and self-hosted; mobile app and barcode scanning are also listed. The demo plan costs nothing.
