Features
Our review of Logiwa WMS was primarily focused on the inventory and warehousing features, such as:
Pick an Order
Logiwa uses Smart DTC Picking Advantage to make picking easier than ever. This unique feature uses 4 job types to break up inbound orders into:
- Identical SKU-1: Mobile order picking > Print carrier labels in bulk > Ship
- Identical SKU-2: Mobile order picking > Print carrier labels in bulk > Ship
- Single-Item Orders: Mobile order picking > Pack and print labels > Ship
- Multi-Item Orders: Mobile order picking > Pick and sort by tote > Pack and print labels > Ship
Each type can be configured to match your exact picking needs. For example, Identical Sku-2 can be modified for any identical quantities beyond 1, based on what patterns you notice with your orders.
Logiwa automatically pre-segments orders for faster picking. This is done by looking at exactly where items are in relation to one another and providing pickers with the most efficient path. According to Logiwa, this automation is so effective that customers saw a 40% increase in labor efficiency after implementation. Businesses using single picking methods saw an improvement between 80% and 90%.
This feature wouldn’t be used as much if you primarily work with pallets or bulk-type orders.
Missing Inventory
If a picker finds inventory is missing from a location, they can mark this on the mobile app so no other pickers get sent to the same empty spot. Once an item is marked missing, the system will automatically locate alternate inventory spots for the selected items. This saves significant time for pickers.
What Features Are Missing?
The Logiwa WMS experience could have been improved with a few small changes:
- Payment processing: Currently, Logiwa lacks payment processing. However, orders can be used to generate invoices in integrated accounting solutions like QuickBooks.
- Light manufacturing: Logiwa currently does not have ways to track partial units of inventory which could be used in manufacturing.

User Reviews of Logiwa WMS
The system is a bit constraining as we try to grow the business. The work flow is tedious with a great deal of duplicate entries. Any inputted orders can be viewed by our Logitics Coordinator, but for him to pass the work order to another team member, he has to print a paper copy and duplicate it in the system. We also run into a great deal of connection issues, halting our entire set up.
