Many companies are facing an uncomfortable reality:
They did not invest in a warehouse management system (WMS).
They committed to a half-finished project, disguised as software.
The proposal seemed attractive: “customizable WMS,” “local support,” “tailored to your needs.”
But what they received was anything but a complete system. It's slow to implement, expensive to maintain, and fails to meet the essential requirements.
If your WMS can't yet handle basic operations like order allocation, location control, or inventory movement, it's not operating efficiently.
He is trapped in an endless cycle of development.
We have helped several companies make the transition.
This isn't simply outdated technology. It's a broken model that penalizes growth, consumes time, and drains resources.
🚨 What you are actually getting from that supplier
Let's get down to business.
What they deliver is not a modern WMS — it is an incomplete structure that runs on:
-
An application based on PHP housed in a Linux server located at the provider's offices
-
An obsolete database Pervasive DB no scalability
-
A licensing model that charges for each storage location (bin)
-
A support system where every missing feature requires additional billable development
-
And two faulty ERP systems that they try to sell as a complement
You're not buying SaaS. You're funding another vendor's development.
🕑 12 to 36 months of “almost ready”
The implementation timeline is painfully slow.
-
Month 1–3: “Initial Setup”
-
Month 6: You continue to use Excel to fill in the gaps
-
Month 12: Picking/packing workflow still unstable
-
Month 18+: Returns and billing “in development”
-
Year 2+: Change requests pile up — and invoices too
You're not receiving a WMS. You're participating in a never-ending development project.
💸 A licensing model that penalizes growth
Every new location, every change in layout, every expansion — increases its cost.
The licensing model of this provider is linked to the number of storage locations (bins).
Add racks? Pay more.
Expanding your warehouse? Pay more.
Optimize your layout for performance? Guess what… you pay more.
You're paying a premium for growth. That's not scalability—it's a trap.
🖥️ The Linux server that lives in the provider's offices
Let's be clear:
The whole system runs on a Linux server located at the provider's offices.
What it means:
-
❌ No cloud scalability
-
❌ No guarantee of availability
-
❌ No access if the system fails
-
❌ No visibility into backup policies
-
❌ No enforceable service level agreement (SLA)
You are paying thousands of dollars a year for software that lives in the facilities of another company, on hardware that you do not control, with a support that cannot guarantee.
This is not SaaS in the cloud.
It is a technical dependency disguised as innovation.
✅ P4 Warehouse: Real SaaS. Real software. Available today.
P4 Warehouse is the opposite of all the above.
It's a Fully developed, enterprise-grade SaaS WMS, hosted in Microsoft Azure, designed for speed, scalability, and serious operations.
What do you get from day one?
-
Start-up in 4–6 weeks
-
Hosted in Microsoft Azure, not in an office without support
-
Complete operational flows: receiving, put-away, picking, replenishment, LPN, returns, inspection, dangerous goods
-
3PL billing included — without further developments
-
Support for environments multi-warehouse and multi-company
-
Real-time reporting, full traceability, and performance dashboards
-
Modern API to easily integrate with your current system
-
SaaS-type flat price — no hidden location charges
You don't need to wait a year for the system to work.
It's already built. And it's already working.

🚚 From 2 years lost to surgery in 6 weeks
A 3PL company in Panama came to us after more than two years of stagnation with the local provider:
-
Without billing module
-
Bin logic failing
-
Misaligned inventory
-
Increasing costs with each expansion
They migrated to P4 Warehouse.
✅ Launch in 6 weeks
✅ 3PL billing operational from the start
✅ Fixed and scalable storage logic
✅ Cloud infrastructure — not in the hands of others
🧠 Your warehouse deserves more than promises
You shouldn't chase developments.
You shouldn't pay to build someone else's product.
You shouldn't scale on a platform that wasn't designed to grow.
You need working software — not excuses disguised as a roadmap.
