Cloud WMS & data security: Why server location is crucial

Cloud WMS & data security: Why server location is crucial

Data security is not a ‘nice to have’ – it is a must!
Transparency and control are particularly important in a cloud warehouse management system (cloud WMS).

Companies must not only comply with the requirements of the GDPR, but also secure the trust of their customers.

But the question keeps coming up: Where is the data stored – and is it really protected?

1. Why data security is so important for cloud WMS

Sensitive information is processed daily in warehouse logistics: customer data, orders, returns, and payment information. Even minor security breaches can have serious consequences, ranging from a loss of trust to heavy fines.

The GDPR obliges companies to protect personal data in accordance with European standards. The situation becomes particularly critical when cloud providers store data outside the EU.

2. Background: GDPR, Schrems II and the US Cloud Act

The ECJ ruling ‘Schrems II’ (2020) overturned the Privacy Shield agreement between the EU and the US. Since then, data transfers to the US have been considered unsafe.
The US Cloud Act obliges providers based in the US to hand over data to US authorities upon request, even if it is stored in Europe.
For companies in Germany, this means that legal uncertainty surrounding US cloud services remains.

3. Comparison of shop systems – where is the data stored?

Many companies already work with shop systems that are connected to a WMS. There are significant differences here:

Anbieter	Herkunft	Serverstandort	DSGVO-Einschätzung
Shopify	Kanada / USA	auch USA	kritisch, da Datenübertragung in die USA möglich
WooCommerce	Open Source	abhängig vom Hoster	neutral, flexibel – z. B. DSGVO-konform mit deutschem Hosting
plentymarkets	Deutschland	Deutschland	DSGVO-konform
WEMALO Cloud-WMS	Deutschland	Deutschland	DSGVO-konform, hohe Transparenz

The comparison shows that differences in data protection arise even when choosing the shop system. A cloud WMS hosted in Germany complements the chain in a meaningful way and ensures that sensitive data remains protected throughout.

4. Hosting in Germany as a competitive advantage

A cloud WMS with servers located in Germany offers clear advantages:

Compliance with strict EU standards (GDPR compliant)
High transparency regarding data storage and use
Short distances for support, audits and service
Greater trust among customers and partners
Sales argument: Potential customers prefer to work with a warehouse that guarantees processes that are secure in every respect!

5. The WEMALO security concept

WEMALO relies on a comprehensive security concept:

Hosting in Germany: All data remains on German servers.
Encrypted interfaces: Secure data exchange without backdoors.
Regular updates audits: Continuous monitoring for maximum stability.
Transparent processes: Users maintain a complete overview at all times via the customer dashboard.

6. Practical example: Opting for security

A customer recently had to choose between a cloud-based warehouse management system with servers located in the USA and WEMALO. The decisive question was: Where are the shipping and customer data stored?

The decision was made in favour of WEMALO – because it is hosted in Germany. Confidence in the solution grew, implementation went smoothly, and data security became a decisive competitive advantage.

Conclusion

In Zeiten steigender Anforderungen an Datensicherheit wird der Serverstandort zu einem entscheidenden Argument bei der Auswahl eines Cloud-WMS.

WEMALO verbindet die Vorteile einer flexiblen Cloud-Lösung mit höchster Datensicherheit und dem Produktversprechen„Made in Germany“.

Incorrectly entered address details on Shopify

Incorrectly entered address details on Shopify

Who isn’t familiar with the problem of incorrect addresses on Shopify? Customers forget to include their house number or even their name when entering their address. Then the goods are returned or cannot be shipped at all. This leads to customer dissatisfaction and costs retailers unnecessary money. It’s not sustainable.

WEMALO, on the other hand, checks every order and address. If the address is incorrect, processing is stopped and the address can be changed manually via the customer portal. The order is then corrected, processed and shipped. Of course, Shopify also offers commercial solutions to solve this problem.

Possible solutions for incorrect address data:

There are apps such as “HouseX: House Number Requester‘ and ’Address Validator Plus“ for Shopify that detect and correct missing or incorrect address information in the shop. HouseX, for example: if a house number is missing, the app automatically sends an email to the customer to request the correct address. Address Validator goes one step further and checks customers’ addresses against rules and fixes shipping problems before the customer leaves the shop.
Another method is to make adjustments in Shopify’s checkout process. Simply use address line 1 for the street and address line 2 for the house number/door number. (This can be done in the Languages section.) Line 2 must then be set as ‘required’ to ensure that customers actually enter a house number.
Another important option is simply to deactivate automatic address completion at checkout and adjust the values in the address field. This usually encourages customers to enter their addresses completely and correctly.

WEMALO WMS prevents address errors

At WEMALO, we want to support logistics providers and their customers so that they can respond flexibly to problems. Without expensive apps, retailers can change their customers’ addresses in the portal and the order automatically re-enters the process.

WEMALO: A solution that thinks for itself and compensates for the weaknesses of other systems!

Traditional WMS vs. Cloud WMS

WEMALO Redaktion — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 14:23:12 +0000

Traditional WMS vs. Cloud WMS

Decision-making aid for your fulfilment

The demands on warehouse logistics are constantly growing: increasing order and return volumes and multiple clients with different requirements.

At this point, the question arises: Is a traditional warehouse management system (WMS) still sufficient, or is a cloud WMS the better choice?

Both systems have their advantages, but also clear limitations. In this article, we compare the most important differences and show which system is suitable for which scenarios.

What is a classic WMS?

A classic WMS is installed locally on the company’s servers and is often customised.

Strengths:

High degree of customisation for very specific requirements
Full control over IT infrastructure and data
Often proven in very large logistics environments

Limits:

Long implementation times
High IT costs for maintenance and updates
Little flexibility for dynamic requirements
Additional costs for extensions

What is a cloud WMS?

A cloud WMS such as WEMALO works according to the SaaS principle: web-based, flexible, without complex IT projects.

Advantages:

Rapid implementation: often go-live within a few days.
Flexibility & scalability: Expandable during growth or seasonal peaks.
Automatic updates: Always up to date, at no extra cost.
Transparent costs: Clear pricing structure thanks to the SaaS model.
API interfaces: Easy connection of shops, ERP systems or shipping service providers. Often, e.g. with WEMALO, through a large number of existing interfaces.
Multi-client capability: Integrated from the outset and therefore ideal for fulfilment for service providers with multiple customers.
➡️ Multi-client capability is particularly crucial for fulfilment service providers. A cloud WMS such as WEMALO maps multiple customers and processes in parallel without the need for additional modules.

Possible disadvantages:

Customisation is only possible to a certain extent.
Dependence on a stable internet connection
Data is stored by the provider – trust and clear security standards are essential.

Traditional WMS vs. cloud WMS (e.g. WEMALO) – direct comparison

Updates Mostly manual, often subject to a fee, release projects Mostly automatic included, continuously up to date Multi-client capability

Criterion	Traditional WMS (on-premises)	Cloud WMS (e.g. WEMALO)
Implementation	Months, high project effort, internal IT required	Fast onboarding, often within days, little IT effort required
Scalability Flexibility	Limited; extensions usually project-based	Often modularly expandable (clients, locations, peaks)
Cost structure	High initial investment (licences, servers, IT), ongoing maintenance costs	Transparent SaaS costs, predictable, low entry costs
Integrations API	Often limited; integrations expensive/complex	API-first, standard connections (shop/ERP/carrier) quickly possible
Often only available as an add-on module	Integrated from the outset – ideal for fulfilment service providers
Customisation	Very high, complex special cases possible	Partially customisable (standard processes flexible; special cases limited)
IT costs operation	Dedicated team for operation, patches, backups	Centralised operation security by provider, lower internal load

When is which system appropriate?

Classic WMS

For very large logistics companies with few clients
If there is a strong internal IT team
For highly specialised processes that cannot be covered by standard solutions

Cloud-WMS

For fulfilment service providers with multiple customers
For companies that are growing rapidly or need to cope with seasonal peaks
When flexibility, integrations and multi-client capability are crucial
For medium-sized companies that want modern processes without a large IT department

→ Many traditional providers continue to emphasise the high degree of customisation and scalability of their systems. However, these advantages often come with long project durations, high licence costs and a heavy reliance on IT resources.

FAQ

How quickly can a cloud WMS be implemented?

→ In a matter of days rather than months.

Is a cloud WMS secure?

→ Yes, updates and security are handled centrally. Often to a higher standard than with in-house IT. WEMALO is hosted in Germany and naturally complies with GDPR requirements.

Can I map individual processes in the cloud WMS?

→ Yes, standard processes are flexible. Special cases can sometimes be implemented using modules or individual configurations – however, cloud systems reach their limits when it comes to very specific requirements.

For whom is a classic WMS still worthwhile?

→ For very large logistics companies with stable, unique processes, a strong internal IT team or extremely specific requirements, a classic WMS may be the better choice.

Conclusion

A classic WMS still makes sense today for certain scenarios, especially for very large, stable structures with special requirements.

For most modern logistics and fulfilment service providers, however, a cloud-based WMS such as WEMALO is the future-proof solution: quick to implement, flexible, multi-client capable and transparent in terms of costs.

Verbinde WEMALO with JTL

Authorisation

To be able to query the JTL API, you need to authorise yourself once. To do this, click on Shops → JTL Authorisation in the dashboard menu. Then click on the Authorise button.

The next step is to log in to JTL and confirm the displayed authorisations. As fulfilers, we can now query all customers assigned to us in JTL. Authorisation per customer is not necessary.

Add a new warehouse

How can a fulfilment warehouse from wemalo be connected to JTL FFN?

Add a new JTL Merchant

Prerequisite: The customer or the warehouse has submitted a request for collaboration in the JTL-FFN portal.

https://fulfillment.jtl-software.com/fulfiller/merchants The customer is requested via the Request customer to collaborate button.

If the customer or warehouse has agreed to the collaboration, it is now possible to configure the JTL Connector in the dashboard setup.

JTL Connector configuration in the dashboard

As an administrator in the dashboard, click on Shops → JTL Connector in the menu.

Then select a customer/client from the drop-down menu on the left.

Existing merchants that are linked to the client are displayed in the dropdown on the right. To add a new one, enter the customer’s Merchant Profile ID assigned by JTL.

You can now select whether you are a sandbox customer. Then click on Install.

The merchant’s contact details are now displayed for verification. If these are correct, click on Confirm.

The merchant is now ready for configuration.

Configure JTL connection

The following steps can be carried out both as an administrator and as a customer.

Firstly, enter the Wemalo Connect token and click on Save.

The warehouse to be linked to JTL can then be selected under Configuration.

You can also activate/deactivate the automatic synchronisation of products, orders, etc. The configuration is saved by clicking on Update.

Initial synchronisation

Release articles in JTL: https://guide.jtl-software.com/jtl-fulfillment-network/onlinehaendler-mit-jtl-wawi/artikeldaten-senden-und-aktualisieren/

The initial synchronisation must/can be started manually here so that you do not have to wait until the respective job starts in the background.

However, the synchronisation ‘Initial Sync Shipping Dispatcher’ MUST always be carried out manually so that the warehouse and dispatcher are transferred from Wemalo to JTL. If a new dispatcher is added in Wemalo, you must click Update again to transfer it to JTL. There is no automatic background job for this.

Identification mapping

JTL uses up to 8 identification numbers. In addition, GTIN and Taric are permanently linked to EAN and customs tariff number in Wemalo. Wemalo offers 3 further fields, EAN2-4, in which you can enter identification numbers as required.

In the following example, the manufacturer’s number is assigned to the EAN2 field. If this number is not stored in JTL, the number from the adjacent dropdown, ‘Hazard Identifier’, is tried as an alternative, and so on.

Known problems and what still doesn't work

Shipping dispatchers removed in Wemalo remain in JTL. It may also no longer be possible to delete these if an order uses the dispatcher.
Parts lists cannot be written
There is no marketplace programme
Item attributes are currently not available
Container is not available
No note is currently created for the stock change so that the customer knows why the stock has changed.

Incompatibilities

Packs in JTL only refer to the number of products contained, no dimension/weight can be specified. It is then necessary to create containers in Dashboard/Wemalo.

JTL documentation

Items from suppliers and wholesalers are often delivered in larger containers. In the Container area, you can enter a specific container quantity (number of items in the container) and your own container labelling, for example a different GTIN, for the selected item. The container will be posted to free goods receipts according to your specifications and added to your stock with the correct number of items.

Efficient inventory management with WEMALO

Optimise your inventory processes and maintain an overview at all times. WEMALO offers powerful and flexible inventory functions that enable you to manage your stock accurately, minimise errors and save valuable time.

The challenge of inventory

Complex inventories cost time, money and nerves.

In many warehouses, inventory counts are a necessary evil that tie up valuable resources. Manual processes, inconsistent stock levels and error-prone counts lead to delays and a lack of transparency. These challenges become even more complex when different storage locations or large quantities of items need to be managed.

Regular inventories are not only required by law, but are also essential for identifying shortages, excess stock or shrinkage in good time. However, inventories that are not carried out efficiently are often expensive and time-consuming. Most companies face the problem that these processes take many hours or even days, disrupt warehouse operations and impair productivity.

WEMALO Features

Optimise production processes with WEMALO

Production processes should be as efficient as possible. WEMALO offers you the ideal solution for seamlessly connecting all processes from warehousing to manufacturing.

Production must be well planned

Is a lack of transparency and the resulting inefficient production hindering processes?

In today’s production environment, it is crucial that all processes run efficiently and transparently. Nevertheless, many companies struggle with typical challenges: a lack of real-time information about inventory levels, manual processes that are prone to errors, and a lack of integration between production and warehouse management. These problems often lead to delays in production, inefficient resource planning and ultimately higher costs. Especially in times when flexibility and speed are crucial to competitiveness, suboptimal production management can seriously jeopardise your growth.

Smooth processes

WEMALO optimises production processes

With WEMALO, chaos in production planning is a thing of the past. Our comprehensive warehouse management software allows you to keep track of all relevant information at all times, enabling you to precisely control the production of goods. Special functions such as marking production-relevant items, creating and managing production orders, and seamless production execution optimise the entire process.

WEMALO offers the following functions for your warehouse production

Mark products as relevant to production

With WEMALO, you can mark specific items in your warehouse as relevant to production. This ensures that only the necessary components are provided for production, which optimises your material flow planning and avoids bottlenecks.

Creating production orders

Our software enables you to create production orders with precision. Whether you are manufacturing individual components or complex products, WEMALO supports you with a clear overview and complete traceability.

Production implementation

Once all materials are ready, WEMALO guides you through the production process. Our software controls all the necessary work steps and ensures that each step runs smoothly. From picking the raw materials to the final picking of the finished products – every step is planned and documented in detail.

Picking

A key element of the production process is the efficient picking of the right materials. With WEMALO, the process becomes child’s play. The software enables materials and components to be picked precisely and in the correct order, allowing production processes to continue without delays.

From practice

How we use WEMALO

Our many years of experience in warehouse logistics have shown us how important it is to seamlessly integrate warehouse management and production. We use WEMALO every day in our own warehouses to ensure maximum efficiency. By clearly labelling production-related products and automating production orders, we are able to ensure uninterrupted production flow. Thanks to the precise pick-and-pack functions, the necessary components are assembled in no time and forwarded directly to production.

For example, in one of our warehouses for electronic components, we were able to reduce production times by 25% by using WEMALO to speed up the process from warehouse receipt to finished end product. Employees benefit from a simple interface that allows them to quickly find and process all production orders and the associated materials. This prevents bottlenecks and ensures that product quality remains consistently high.

By using our software, we were not only able to save time, but also significantly reduce the error rate. Seamless coordination between production and warehouse management allows us to identify bottlenecks early on and take proactive action.
