Keeping WMS and ERP Systems Available Across Every Shift

Uptime planning for the systems that move every order

  • Published June 19, 2025

Downtime stops the building

Your warehouse management and ERP systems connect orders to picking, shipping, and invoicing. When they are unavailable, the operation stops, and recovery takes longer than the outage itself.

Build resilience in layers

  • Redundant internet connections with automatic failover
  • Battery backup for servers, switches, and label printers
  • Tested backups of any locally hosted databases
  • Documented dependencies between WMS, ERP, EDI, and carrier systems

Match support to your shifts

If your operation runs evenings or weekends, your monitoring and escalation plan should too. Priority support adds after-hours emergency response for critical systems.

Plan changes carefully

Schedule updates and maintenance outside peak shipping windows, and test integrations after every change.

How WEBIT helps

WEBIT monitors critical systems around the clock, plans maintenance around your shipping schedule, and designs redundancy where downtime costs the most.
