Multi-Site WMS Rollout Quality Checklist (6 DCs in 90 Days)
A fast multi-site rollout only works when you standardize what you can, isolate what you must, and run a disciplined ramp-up plan per site. Use this checklist to protect service, accuracy, and throughput while deploying WMS across multiple DCs on an aggressive timeline.

Fast rollouts depend on ramp-up planning and repeatable launch discipline, not heroics.

Key Risk Callouts (Multi-Site Rollouts)
Risk: "Standardization theater"
If every site insists it's unique, your rollout turns into 6 custom projects. Lock a core template and manage exceptions ruthlessly.
Risk: Understaffed ramp-up
Go-live success is operational. If you don't staff super users and floor support, training gaps become service failures.
Risk: Inventory integrity drift
Bad receiving/putaway discipline after go-live breaks everything downstream. Enforce transaction discipline + rapid counting early.
