The Solution

Book a 2-week sprint with Fullstride to prepare for your first WMS and land on a right-fit shortlist.

STEP one

Assess your operations and clarify what’s really required.

We dig into how your warehouse runs today — spreadsheets, processes, and workflows — and help you translate that into clear WMS requirements.

STEP TWO

Surface risks and test assumptions so nothing gets missed.

Most first-time buyers underestimate data readiness, process gaps, or vendor promises. We bring these to the surface early so you know what you’re walking into.

STEP THREE

Walk away with a curated shortlist of vendors that actually fit.

Instead of wasting time on endless demos, you’ll have a focused list of right-fit options — plus the confidence that you’re ready to engage them.

Frequently asked questions.

What happens after we work together?

You’ll leave with a readiness assessment, roadmap, and vendor shortlist. Often, there’s internal prep work to tackle before reaching out to vendors — which you can handle on your own or with our continued help. Once you’re ready, you can move confidently into vendor conversations knowing what you need.

How much of my team’s time will this take?

Expect about 8–12 hours spread across two weeks. Most of that is in short collaborative sessions, plus a bit of prep and review time.

How much does the System Fit Sprint cost?

The Sprint costs about the same as 1–2 months of a typical WMS license and setup — a fraction of what a mis-timed system could cost you. Full details are on our pricing page.

Are you just trying to sell us software?

No. We don’t sell software and we don’t take referral fees. Our only role is to make sure you’re prepared and confident before you commit to a WMS.

Can you help us decide which WMS?

Yes. The Sprint gives you a vendor shortlist plus an evaluation scorecard so you’re not just relying on vendor sales pitches or DIY guesses. Many clients keep working with us after the Sprint to navigate the final decision.

How do we know if we’re ready to succeed with a WMS?

The Sprint gives you a clear readiness score and roadmap, so you know exactly where you stand before making a big investment.

When is the right time to buy our first WMS?

When spreadsheets and tribal knowledge start breaking down, that’s usually the signal. But jumping too soon is risky too. Use our quick diagnostic to see if you truly need a WMS yet — it’s the best way to know if now is the right time.
