Stocker FAQ
What kind of company is Stocker aimed at?
PulseStar does not market Stocker to target any predefined size of company. Stocker can manage the smallest and the biggest of warehouses. The question PulseStar asks is 'Can you afford or justify the cost of a WMS from one of the larger suppliers?'.
You might be a small operation desperately seeking a feature rich WMS at an affordable price. You might be a large multi-national with numerous warehouses, or opening a temporary warehouse and need a system up and running fast. Or, in these times, you might just want value for money.
