FAQs

What's the difference between FORT WMS and FORT Ship?

FORT WMS is a full warehouse management platform that enables warehouses to efficiently run all warehouse operations, from receiving to inventory management to cycle counting. The WMS platform can be implemented for multi-tenant clients (3PLs), or single companies needing a WMS to manage their own products and fulfillment.

FORT Ship is powered by the same engine, though it is focused on shipping, and does not include some core warehouse functionality such as receiving and inventory management.

Is FORT just for the wine industry?

Absolutely not! FORT was initially built for the wine industry, and the wine industry remains our principal focus. But because of the numerous complexities and conditions that need to be managed for beverage alcohol (bonded vs tax-paid, state-specific reporting rules, shipping restrictions that vary by product type, alc. %, production volume, etc.), requirements for virtually any other type of product become relatively easy to manage in FORT.

Companies in multiple industries–both regulated and non–utilize FORT for their warehouse fulfillment and shipping needs.

Can I sign up just for FORT Metrix?

It is possible to use just FORT Metrix, and not to have a WMS or FORT Ship subscription. However, FORT Metrix was developed as an integrated business intelligence and data analytics module, and it is run on queries for all the package and shipping-related fields already in FORT. For this reason we always recommend that FORT Metrix users utilize FORT’s shipping functionality, which provides all the data we need to generate meaningful charts and reports in Metrix.

If you do not use FORT for shipping but wish to use FORT Metrix, we would need to be able to import your data seamlessly from the shipping or order management platform you are using. Please visit our Contact page and let us know if you are interested in exploring this option.

Am I bound by a long term contract?

Not at all. You can stop using FORT Ship at any time. If the FORT platform is not providing you with the best value and performance you can find, we want to hear about it!

How long has FORT been around?

FORT’s roots are deep, extending all the way back to 1999 when we first built our international wine gift delivery network. Since then we have grown out and up, and focused on the areas that we realized posed the most serious problems in the industry. Number 1 on that list was logistics, and our WMS platform was launched in 2005. We’ve been adding to it ever since, and have never looked back.
