Hiring a WMS Team: What to Expect from your Inventory Management Partner

Written by Rishi Ruparel | January 28, 2022

When you’re evaluating a warehouse management system, functionality will be at the forefront of your mind – and rightly so, because it’s what dictates the shape of your future business processes. But even if you purchase a product that perfectly aligns with your needs, a rocky implementation or inadequate support can render your project obsolete.

That’s why it’s important to select a solution that comes with an experienced team dedicated to maximizing the return on your investment. So what should you look for?


In our 40+ years of experience, we've helped more than 2,000 NetSuite customers transform their inventory management processes to gain greater accuracy, visibility and productivity across their operations. Let's break down the RF-SMART team that customers can expect:

Executive Team

RF-SMART's mission is to Transform our Customers and Change Lives.” We never take this lightly - our customers come first every single day. This starts from the very top with our Executive Team, who ensure our company values are continuously woven into our business strategy. Our growing global presence and ever-increasing customer portfolio has never gotten in the way of our commitment to achieving near-perfect customer satisfaction.

Implementation & Consulting

From the moment you engage with RF-SMART, our experienced team (we're talking more than 60 years of NetSuite ERP experience collectively!), is ready to learn about the ins and outs of your business. Working alongside the sales cycle, the Implementation & Consulting team attends site visits as needed, delivers comprehensive training for your staff, and promptly address any concerns or queries that come up. We will also help you define your current and future requirements so you’re getting the right solution for your needs.

Account Management

Before you go live with one of our solutions, we will assign a dedicated RF-SMART account manager to your project. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience to help you get the most out of your investment. Our Account Management team works with our customers to optimize their processes and usage of our products, while proactively helping them to scale and navigate changes.

Customer Success & Support

Our priority is to ensure you achieve the maximum return on your investment in our products, so we provide resources and support to ensure your success. Our customers can attest to how transformational RF-SMART really is, but we know from time to time, questions will arise. That’s why it’s also critical to have a reliable and responsive support team at your disposal.

As an RF-SMART customer, you benefit from:

  • Support in your local time zone because your business’s success is our first priority
  • Access to product documentation and Knowledge Base articles 
  • Ongoing support for certified handheld devices and mobile software
  • Monthly recorded customer training webinars that cover everything from counting best practices and picking strategies to hardware optimization tips and advanced functionalities

"Our team can more often than not find their own answers in the Knowledge Base. We search things ourselves and find solutions - that’s really helpful." - Shana Rowlette, Mann Lake

Hardware Services

Our goal is to deliver a fully comprehensive mobile solution for managing your inventory, and that wouldn’t be complete without incorporating hardware. There are two key ways in which our dedicated hardware team can help with your project:

  1. Advanced Device Configuration
  2. Gold Image Creation and Management
  3. Mobile Device Management (MDM) Services
  4. Spare Pool Management
  5. Premium Help Desk Support

Product Strategy & Software Development

As supply chain experts, it is our duty to deliver robust and effective products that continue to meet your needs in an ever-changing landscape. That’s why our Product Strategy Team is constantly analyzing industry trends to anticipate new requirements, and to refine and build the roadmap for our cutting-edge software (like Automation or Robotics).

That's where our Software Development team comes in, creating the solutions that make your supply chain processes tick. RF-SMART is purpose-built for NetSuite, so our team is tests and ensures our functionality works before, during and after new NetSuite releases - leaving you with a seamless experience.
