"Mr. Obal has done it again with what is hands down the most useful aid to software selection I have ever seen. The new book is entitled Selecting Warehouse Software from WMS and ERP Providers. Obal has shared his extensive knowledge of the industry, the needs for proper warehouse control as well as probably the most comprehensive contact list of potential suppliers that I have ever seen in one place. He gives step by step guidance to help figure out not only what you are buying but also carries the reader through the process of due diligence in what you SHOULD be buying and how to be sure you get it. This new volume is quite timely in its coverage of RFID and a valuable section on volumetrics. In our opinion, the capture of volume measurement is one of the primary keys to effective warehousing."
