The modern WMS technology leaders need

Replace your legacy platform with Logiwa’s modern WMS

Stop fighting your legacy WMS: Upgrade to an API-first, cloud-native fulfillment platform

Is your current WMS, with its monolithic architecture, performance bottlenecks , and brittle integrations a technical debt?

Logiwa IO is not just another WMS. It’s a cloud-native, API-first fulfillment platform engineered specifically for technology leaders who need to solve architectural challenges and drive high-volume growth—enabling business agility and mitigating risk.

From monolithic WMS to a cloud-native Fulfillment Management System (FMS)

If you’re reading this, you are likely searching for a “WMS replacement,” but the term itself is rooted in an obsolete model. Legacy WMS platforms were designed for storage and inventory optimization. Modern, high-volume e-commerce runs on speed and fulfillment.

Your WMS isn’t just old; it was built for a different era. You don’t need a better WMS. You need a Fulfillment Management System (FMS)—a modern, cloud-native command center built for high-speed, high-volume,
e-commerce operations.

Replace your rigid WMS suite with an open ecosystem

Are you a technology leader struggling with a closed ecosystem? You are not alone. These legacy platforms lock you into a proprietary suite , turning every integration into a costly, complex project. This all-in-one approach creates data silos and forces you down a rigid, pre-defined path, guaranteeing vendor lock-in.

Logiwa IO offers a different path. We provide a true API-first, composable architecture. This isn’t a “monolithic suite”—it’s an open, headless platform that gives you the freedom to integrate your best-of-breed tech stack without penalty.

Logiwa’s core tech stack includes:

Legacy WMS vs. The Logiwa IO architecture

Your frustrations are architectural. Your solutions must be, too. Here is how Logiwa IO is fundamentally engineered to solve the five core challenges every technology leader faces with a legacy WMS.

WMS technology comparison: Logiwa IO vs. Legacy and Cloud-washed WMS.

Don’t confuse “cloud-hosted” with “cloud-native”. Many vendors simply put their old, monolithic software on a virtual machine. This does not solve your core architectural problems.

Challenge

Inflexible, monolithic architecture

Is your current WMS a “black box”? A single, tightly-coupled application where any small update requires a full, high-risk redeployment. You’re buried in technical debt and stuck with a rigid platform that stifles innovation.

Solution

A composable, microservices and headless WMS

Logiwa IO is built on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), utilizing a true microservices architecture. This isn’t “cloud-washed” or hosted VM ; it’s cloud-native. We can update, deploy, and scale individual services (like picking or receiving) independently, eliminating risk and enabling zero-downtime updates. Our headless, API-first design decouples the back-end operations from any front-end, allowing your teams to build custom apps and connect any channel via our Open REST API —giving you total technical control.

Challenge

Poor scalability and peak season failures

Is your legacy system reliant on slow, expensive vertical scaling—manually adding power to a single server that has a hard physical limit? This is why it fails during high-volume spikes like Black Friday. You experience performance degradation, latency, and catastrophic system failures precisely when reliability matters most.

Solution

True cloud-native elasticity for high-volume fulfillment

Logiwa delivers true horizontal elasticity, not just scalability. Our AKS-based architecture automatically distributes load across multiple servers, adding or removing resources on demand in response to real-time order volume. This is the only model that can manage extreme, unpredictable e-commerce surges without failure or over-provisioning.

We are battle-tested to handle 6X peak season scale, processing over 2 Billion application requests and 250 Million API requests with proven low latency.

Challenge

Brittle, custom-coded integrations

Is your WMS an information silo? Connecting it to your ERP, TMS, or robotics requires months of expensive, custom-coded projects. These brittle integrations break during system upgrades, creating vendor lock-in and a continuous, costly battle for your development team.

Solution

An API-first platform with a pre-built integration ecosystem

Logiwa IO is an API-first WMS. The API is not an afterthought. This design philosophy allows you to build a “composable enterprise”, securely connecting any third-party system with reliability. For your data teams, we provide seamless data sharing capabilities with Snowflake, decoupling analytics from production performance. This, combined with pre-built connectors and a robust Open REST API, gives you an open, future-proof integration layer.

Challenge

High TCO and crippling technical debt

The true cost of your legacy WMS isn’t the license fee; it’s the endless hidden costs. You are paying for server hardware, annual maintenance contracts, and massive, multi-year “big-bang” upgrade projects that force a complete rewrite of every customization. This is WMS technical debt, and it’s a balance sheet liability.

Solution

A "versionless" SaaS platform with zero upgrade costs

Our cloud-native, true-SaaS platform is “versionless”. Updates are continuous, automatic, and happen with zero downtime. This eliminates the high-dollar “big-bang upgrade project” from your TCO calculation entirely. We shift your model from brittle customization (changing source code) to flexible configuration , allowing you to adapt workflows without accumulating new technical debt.

Challenge

Challenge: Security vulnerabilities and compliance burdens

Outdated on-premises WMS are a critical security vulnerability. They’re often unpatched, lack modern authentication methods, and force your team to bear the entire burden of infrastructure security and compliance. You are solely responsible for proving compliance for audits like SOC 2, GDPR, and CCPA, consuming massive resources and creating significant financial risk.

Solution

Solution: Shift the compliance burden with SOC 2, GDPR & CCPA-ready infrastructure

Our value proposition isn’t just “we are secure”; it’s “we absorb your compliance burden”. Logiwa’s platform is SOC 2 Type II Compliant. We manage infrastructure security as a core competency, protected by Azure Firewall and WAF. Instead of building your own compliance from scratch, you inherit our SOC 2 controls and attestation for infrastructure, availability, and security. This drastically reduces your audit scope, cost, and risk.

A future-proof WMS for brands and high-volume 3PL

For Enterprise Brands

Fast deployment is not the same as enterprise scale. Many cloud platforms are built for simple, out-of-the-box implementation but fail at true enterprise complexity. When you’re processing over a million orders a month and orchestrating complex robotics, you need an enterprise-grade FMS, not a mid-market WMS.

For 3PL Technology Leaders

A 3PL WMS is more than a billing engine. Your core challenges are elastic scale for peak and the integration agility to onboard any new client’s tech stack on demand. While other platforms focus on operations, Logiwa provides the API-first, elastic architecture that allows your 3PL to scale fearlessly and say ‘yes’ to any new client.

WMS technology leaders technical FAQs

What is the difference between WMS scalability and elasticity?

Scalability (specifically vertical scaling) is the legacy model of adding resources (CPU, RAM) to a single server. It is slow, expensive, and has a fixed ceiling. Elasticity (or horizontal scaling) is the cloud-native model. It automatically distributes load across unlimited, on-demand resources, which is the only way to cost-effectively handle unpredictable e-commerce peaks without failure.

How does an API-first WMS prevent vendor lock-in?

Vendor lock-in occurs when switching costs are high, often due to proprietary technology and brittle, custom-coded integrations. An API-first WMS prevents this by providing a robust, open, and well-documented set of APIs. This enables a “composable enterprise” , allowing you to freely integrate or replace other “best-of-breed” applications without breaking your core WMS.

What is the true TCO of a legacy WMS?

The true TCO goes far beyond the initial license fee to include significant “hidden costs” such as: 1) steep annual maintenance fees, 2) high costs for specialized IT staff , 3) massive, disruptive “big-bang” upgrade projects that halt innovation, and 4) the constant re-development of all customizations, which is a form of “technical debt”.

What is a headless WMS and why does it matter for e-commerce?

A headless WMS decouples the back-end warehouse operations from the front-end (e-commerce storefront, marketplace, or custom app). For a CTO, this is critical: it means you can add a new sales channel or build a new user experience via an API call without re-architecting your core fulfillment logic. It provides maximum flexibility and technical control.
