WMS benchmarks and planning figures
Last updated
Warehouse software is sold with percentages nobody can trace. This page states only figures BizBloqs stands behind: counts from our own systems, and the exact planning defaults pre-filled in our public ROI calculator. Each row says which of the two it is, so a planning starting point is never repeated as a measured result.

Method
- Company figures are counts from our own systems, stated as of the update date at the top of this page.
- Planning defaults are the exact pre-filled values in the public ROI calculator. They are starting points for a business case, not measured industry averages, and every one of them is meant to be overwritten with your own numbers.
- No figure on this page is an industry statistic sourced from a third party. Where we have not measured something, no number is given.
- Figures change when the underlying data changes; the update date above moves with them.

Questions about these figures
Are these industry averages for warehouse operations?
No. They are BizBloqs' own verified figures plus the planning defaults built into our public ROI calculator. We do not publish third-party industry averages we cannot verify, so nothing on this page should be quoted as a market-wide statistic.
Can I cite these figures?
Yes, with attribution to BizBloqs (https://bizbloqs.com/wms-benchmarks) and the update date shown on the page. Please carry the basis label with the number, so a planning default is not repeated as a measured outcome.
Why does BizBloqs publish planning defaults instead of savings percentages?
Because savings depend entirely on the starting point. An operation already at 0.3% pick errors has little to gain there; one at 2% has a lot. Publishing a single savings percentage would be a marketing number, so we publish the inputs and let you model your own outcome.
How often is this page updated?
Whenever a figure changes. The date at the top of the page is the authored last-modified date and is also emitted in the sitemap and in the page metadata.
