This document presents a structured 28-day implementation methodology for deploying a warehouse management system. It breaks the project into four sequential weeks focused on business discovery, system build and integration, testing with key staff, and final rollout with end-user training. The approach emphasizes rapid configuration, data migration, interface validation, and inventory cutover to achieve go-live within a compressed timeline.

Key takeaways

WMS implementation can be completed in 28 total effort days using a phased weekly plan.

Week 1 focuses on current-state walkthrough, role assignment, and process mapping.

Week 2 covers master data migration, system configuration, and initial interface testing.

Week 3 includes boardroom pilot, end-to-end testing phase 2, and go-live planning.

Week 4 delivers end-user training, inventory count, cutover, and post-go-live support.
