.Store Solution: The Smart WMS Alternative for Mid-Tier Businesses
In today’s fast-moving business landscape, warehouse operations must be efficient, scalable, and cost-effective—but many mid-tier businesses find themselves stuck between two extremes. Basic ERP warehouse functionalities lack the flexibility they need, while best-of-breed Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) come with unnecessary complexity and hefty price tags.
That’s why Trace Consultants developed .Store, a pragmatic, feature-rich WMS solution that balances functionality with ease of use.
What is .Store Solution?
.Store is a tactical warehouse management solution built for mid-tier businesses looking to enhance their inventory visibility, order fulfilment processes, and warehouse efficiency without the heavy cost and complexity of full-scale WMS platforms.
It bridges the gap between basic ERP warehouse modules and high-end WMS by integrating with existing ERP platforms like Cin7 and leveraging Microsoft Power Apps for a scalable, cost-effective, and low-maintenance solution.
Why Mid-Tier Businesses Choose .Store Solution
More than an ERP, Less than a Full WMS. Many businesses struggle with the limited inventory and warehouse capabilities in their ERP systems but don’t need the bells and whistles of a best-in-class WMS.
.Store Solution offers:
- Bin and location management
- Barcode scanning and stock visibility
- Put-away and pick-path optimisation
- PO receipt and sales order fulfilment
- Seamless integration with existing ERP platforms
- Built for Speed and Efficiency
Unlike complex WMS implementations that take months, .Store can be deployed in just a few weeks. Our recent proof of concept successfully:
- Integrated 15 000+ SKUs in under 60 seconds
- Processed large purchase orders (250+ line items) with ease
- Enabled barcode scanning for fast and accurate warehouse operations
Scalable Without the Overhead
- Businesses can start with core features and expand as needed.
- .Store provides a cost-effective and scalable pathway to advanced warehouse management without overinvesting in features they may never use.
Designed for Seamless Integration
.Store is powered by Microsoft Power Apps, making it easily configurable to:
- Integrate with your ERP and accounting systems

- Support mobile and desktop interfaces for warehouse staff
For businesses already using ERPs such as Cin7, .Store acts as a natural extension—enhancing stock visibility, tracking, and fulfilment without requiring an entirely new system.
