EPG LFS vs Sentry WMS

EPG LFS, also called EPG ONE WMS, is warehouse management software for coordinating complex operations from goods receipt through shipping. It automates warehouse workflows and provides real-time inventory visibility, dashboards, and analytics for warehouse decisions. Barcode and RFID scanning support accuracy in receiving, picking, and shipping. The system connects with ERP, transport, and supply-chain applications, as well as conveyor systems and material-flow controllers. Its multi-tenant architecture supports multiple warehouses, clients, and automation levels. EPG describes AI insights that identify patterns, exceptions, and potential optimization opportunities in warehouse data. The standard version is a pre-configured starter package, with additional modules installed for activation as needed. Listed target industries include automotive, chemicals and healthcare, electronics, retail and e-commerce, manufacturing, food and beverage, 3PL, and textile. Deployment is available on-premise or as cloud-based SaaS. EPG says it can arrange a test environment for evaluation. The WMS runs on Android, iOS, Linux, web, and Windows, with self-hosted deployment also listed. Pricing is on request because project requirements, processes, and functions vary.

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.
