Technical-Functional WMS Consultant

Project overview

Context

As part of a WMS version upgrade project for a major retail company, the DSI PLESIO is strengthening its project team with a technical-functional WMS consultant. Their main mission will be to ensure the technical implementation of identified needs, particularly concerning IT flows between the WMS and information system applications, then to monitor internal and external developments and guarantee their compliance through testing. The consultant is not responsible for overall project management or for gathering business requirements, which has already been done.

They are responsible for producing the technical deliverables for their scope, monitoring associated developments, and ensuring test quality, under the supervision of their manager.
