Already a frequent guest on our weekly Supply Chain Video News broadcast from our Supply Chain Television Channel and CSCMP, we've kicked off a new feature with Gartner analyst Dwight Klappich in what will now be a regular monthly segment named "Klappich's Corner."

The feature will cover a wide range of supply chain topics with Klappich and ocassionally other Gartner analysts.

In this segment, Klappich discusses the growing battle for software control of the distribution center among Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Warehouse Control Systems (WCS) , and the relatively new category of Warehouse Execution Systems (WES).

SCDigest editor Dan Gilmore calls it a "battle royal."

Please watch this short clip, excerpted from our weekly supply chain video news program this week.
