Self Hosted Warehouse Management System in Manchester

All your IT headaches solved.

At Whalley Systems, we provide advanced self-hosted Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) designed for businesses across Manchester and the North West. Our solutions give you complete control over your stock, tracking, and logistics, whether you’re managing a small warehouse or a large distribution centre.

By combining Docker containerisation, barcode scanning, and integration with modern technologies, we deliver a scalable, reliable, and future-ready WMS tailored to your operations.

Why Choose Docker-Based Warehouse Management Systems?

Running a Warehouse Management System often requires multiple services such as databases, inventory engines, barcode scanners, and reporting tools. With Docker containers, we streamline this complexity.

Faster setup

Deploy your WMS quickly with consistent environments.

Security

Each service runs in its own isolated container.

Performance

Optimised use of resources, reducing downtime.

Flexibility

Scale warehouse operations as demand increases.

Future Ready

Easily add integrations like AI-driven forecasting or advanced analytics.

Efficiently & Securely

Docker ensures your warehouse operations run efficiently and securely with minimal maintenance overhead.

Cloud-Based Warehouse Management Systems

For businesses that prefer flexibility and accessibility, we also provide cloud-hosted WMS solutions.

With a cloud-based Warehouse Management System, you benefit from:

- Anywhere access – Manage stock from multiple sites or remotely.

- Barcode, batch & lot number tracking – Real-time data on stock movement.

- Alerts & notifications – Be informed of low stock, expiring batches, or discrepancies instantly.

- Integrations Seamlessly connect with ERP, MRP, eCommerce, and AI-powered demand forecasting tools.

- Scalability Expand instantly as your warehouse operations grow.

Benefits of Self Hosting Your Warehouse Management System

Many Manchester-based businesses choose self-hosting because it offers:

/  Complete control over your data

No reliance on external vendors.

/  Customisable workflows

Adapt the WMS to match your exact warehouse operations.

/  Long-term cost savings

Avoid ongoing SaaS subscription costs.

/ Data sovereignty

Keep sensitive inventory data within your infrastructure.

Hosting in a Docker Environment

Running your WMS in a Docker environment provides the best of both worlds:

- Faster deployment and updates.

- Consistent environments across staging, testing, and live systems.

- Isolated containers that reduce downtime and security risks.

- Easy scalability as your warehouse grows.

- Future-ready architecture that supports AI and IoT integrations.
