Datex Named a Notable Vendor in the Gartner® Midmarket Context: Magic Quadrant™ for Warehouse Management Systems 2025

CLEARWATER, Fla., Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Datex is proud to be recognized once again by Gartner®, for the second year in a row, as a Notable Vendor in the Midmarket Context: Magic Quadrant™ for Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). We believe that earning this recognition reinforces our drive to keep delivering and innovating on our flexible, scalable, and integration-ready WMS. Footprint WMS® helps midsize enterprises (MSEs) tackle supply chain complexity and compliance head-on.

Datex delivers what growing warehouse operators need in MSE-ready WMS tech. "Footprint WMS is Engineered for Easy™, built to adapt and ready for anything" says Michael Armanious, CEO of Datex. "We don't just say that; the proof is in our streamlined interface, low-code toolset, and cloud-native Azure-based architecture that deliver real benefits."

Datex' solution offers operators plug-and-play setup, real-time insights, and the ultimate flexibility to tailor workflows, analytics, and UIs with templates, without relying on vendor change requests. Other functionality includes built-in compliance, end-to-end visibility, and native EDI support for a broad partner network. With an open API and pre-built connectors for eCommerce, ERP, shipping, and automation, Datex makes integrations surprisingly simple.

We believe that Datex Footprint® WMS meets Gartner's benchmarks for MSEs, and it goes further. With 45+ years of 3PL expertise and a customer base that is over 80% 3PLs, Datex understands the complexity of managing multiple clients, facilities, and SLAs under one roof. Footprint WMS is uniquely equipped to handle 3PL warehousing challenges, providing real-time inventory visibility, client-specific workflows, and the industry's most advanced billing engine. Our customers achieve tangible results.

• Kevin Niemeier, VP of Technology, Nor-Am Cold Storage highlights the value of flexibility for their operations: "A benefit has been the use of the ePortal that allows our customers to have the flexibility to pull down their own reports and see live inventory. This is extremely helpful and cuts down on a lot of back-and-forth phone calls and emails."
• Watco's VP of Business Solutions, Justin Marr puts it simply "Footprint WMS enables our operations to grow, because of its inventory accuracy, efficiency, transparency, and real-time visibility—our customers like that."
• David Hamilton, Vice President of GMP Warehousing, Tobin Scientific says "Clients can go and view their inventory live and see all the inbound and outbound movements. We went from turning around an order in two to three hours to processing an order in a matter of minutes."

In our opinion, this recognition paired with the success our customers achieve every day, affirms Datex as the go-to partner for 3PLs and warehouse operators navigating complexity, compliance, and growth.
