Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Picqer: Picqer is a Dutch cloud-based WMS targeting SMEs and e-commerce merchants. It is the closest direct competitor in the Netherlands, serving a similar customer base with comparable subscription-based pick/pack/ship functionality.
• Magino Solutions: Magino is a Dutch WMS focused on wholesale, distribution, and e-commerce SMEs. It competes head-to-head with Boxwise in the same Dutch SME segment, often on the same integration and ERP adjacency.
• TradeSoft: TradeSoft offers Dutch WMS and ERP-adjacent software for wholesalers and distributors, overlapping with Boxwise's wholesale vertical and ERP-integrated positioning in the Netherlands.

Broad incumbents

• SAP Extended Warehouse Management: SAP EWM is the enterprise-standard WMS tightly coupled with SAP S/4HANA. It is the ultimate destination for large Dutch customers moving beyond SME WMS like Boxwise, particularly SAP-shop accounts.
• Blue Yonder (WMS / Yformer): Blue Yonder is a global supply chain software incumbent with a large WMS footprint. Its cloud WMS is a broad incumbent alternative for Dutch customers considering enterprise-grade platforms.
• Manhattan Active WM: Manhattan Associates is a global WMS incumbent with cloud-native offerings. It is a competitor for larger Boxwise customers and represents the upgrade path risk for Dutch mid-market accounts.
• Körber WMS (formerly HighJump): Körber's WMS suite is a broad incumbent in warehouse management, used by mid-market and enterprise customers across Europe. It competes with Boxwise as customers outgrow SME-focused WMS.

Emerging players

• Locus Robotics: Locus Robotics provides autonomous mobile robots for warehouse picking and fulfillment. It's an emerging player in the warehouse automation layer that complementarily integrates with WMS platforms like Boxwise but also increasingly competes for automation budget.

Regional players

• Bright WMS (by Royal 4 Systems): Royal 4 / Bright WMS is a US-anchored WMS with European distribution. It is a regional peer with comparable mid-market distribution features, occasionally competing for cross-border Dutch 3PL and wholesale accounts.

Others

• Slimstock: Slimstock is a Dutch-headquartered inventory optimization SaaS provider that is complementary to WMS but increasingly bundles adjacent capabilities. It is an ecosystem peer for Boxwise customers in the wholesale vertical.
