Three coordinators re-keying between a WMS and an ERP almost always points to one missing integration, not three staffing problems. The usual culprit: order and ASN data lands in the WMS but never flows back automatically, so people become the API. The fix is typically a one-to-two-week integration build — not a new platform.
