KNAPP KiSoft WES vs WeLogis WES

KNAPP KiSoft WES connects a warehouse management system with operational and control systems, then helps determine when and how warehouse work should proceed. It prioritizes orders, identifies bottlenecks, and adjusts material flows as errors, bottlenecks, or priority changes arise. Real-time data from connected systems provides a current view of orders, resources, and material flows. Its modular design lets customers activate functions for their needs, and the product can integrate with existing systems and other KiSoft products. KiSoft WES communicates between warehouse management systems and controls such as KiSoft WCS or KiSoft FCS. Example functions, depending on project needs, include ERP integration, replenishment management, sorter control, pick-to-light management, and scanner integration. KNAPP recommends it for manual warehouses whose WMS cannot connect to automation or integrate subsystems; the company says a separate WES may not be needed if a WMS or WCS already covers those functions. Pricing is on request. KiSoft licensing may be perpetual or SaaS, with on-premise or cloud operation depending on use.

WeLogis WES coordinates warehouse floor work alongside Welogis WMS, from wave planning through packing and dispatch. It groups B2B and B2C shipping instructions into waves, then assigns tasks by product type and zone. During picking, barcode scans validate products and quantities along an ordered route. The described methods are DPS single picking, DAS batch picking and distribution, and DPC one-pass cart picking; clients can choose based on order mix and volume. After picking, staff check items by box and proceed to shipping-label issuance, with inspection history retained at order level. Totes, carts, pallets and roll cages can be registered with compartments and barcode labels, then linked to work by scan. Workers can flag stockouts, damaged or unusable goods, and location mismatches, while a dashboard shows wave progress and exceptions in real time. Existing tablets and PDAs can run device-optimized screens. The WES 기능 애드온 costs 100,000 KRW a month (월 100,000원, VAT 별도), requires a WMS subscription, and includes picking, distribution and packing. RealPacking and the WMS Open API are separately priced options.
