What WMS Should I Use for D2C?
Most warehouse systems were built for pallets, not parcels. For wholesalers, not web stores. For legacy IT teams, not fast-moving ecommerce brands.
Descartes Peoplevox is different. It was purpose-built for direct-to-consumer (D2C) — optimized for speed, accuracy, and flexibility, right out of the box.
Why D2C Brands Outgrow Traditional Systems
D2C fulfillment is a different game — and traditional warehouse systems weren’t built to win it.
When a brand scales from 100 to 1,000+ orders per day, things break:
Errors increase
Training slows down
Paper pick lists cause chaos
And systems designed for B2B start getting in the way
Most WMS platforms weren’t made for this. We are.
At the tipping point of growth, choosing the right WMS can make or break your business.

What Makes Descartes Peoplevox Different?
Built for D2C. And Only D2C

The problem
Generic WMS platforms try to be all things to all people — and end up serving no one particularly well. They’re bloated, slow to change, and built around outdated workflows.
Our solution
Peoplevox is laser-focused on ecommerce brands shipping direct. That’s all we do. We’re not an all-in-one tool. We’re a best-in-class WMS designed from day one for high-SKU, high-velocity fulfillment.
Key Benefit
No bloat. No compromises. Just the right tool for high-growth ecommerce fulfillment.
Replace Chaos with Clean, Paperless Workflows
The problem
As order volume increases, paper pick lists and tribal knowledge collapse under pressure. Mistakes creep in, and training seasonal staff becomes nearly impossible.
Our solution
Peoplevox replaces manual chaos with an intuitive Android app that digitizes the entire warehouse — from receiving to packing. Your team doesn’t need to be tech-savvy. They can learn it in hours, not weeks.
Key Benefit
Get new staff fully operational in one shift, with accuracy at 100% in most cases — even at peak.

Implemented Remotely, Configured Without Code

The problem
Legacy WMS systems are hard to set up and even harder to adapt. Every tweak requires developers, long lead times, or costly consultants.
Our solution
Peoplevox implementations are 100% remote. Configurations are no-code and flexible. Whether you’re changing routing logic, testing new workflows, or spinning up a new location, you stay in control.
Key Benefit
Go live fast. Stay agile. Make changes without writing code or submitting tickets.
Scales from Startup to Powerhouse
The problem
Most systems work fine at 200 orders/day. Few survive at 10,000+. Brands often “outgrow” their WMS just as growth is accelerating.
Our solution
Peoplevox scales with you — across channels, countries, and sites — without skipping a beat. With built-in features like wave picking, inventory control, bulk actions, and courier integrations, complexity doesn’t turn into chaos.
Key Benefit
Never outgrow your WMS. Peoplevox is built to scale with your ambition.

Open Ecosystem, Fully Connected

The problem
All-in-one systems limit your flexibility. You’re stuck with their tech stack, slow integrations, or disconnected data silos.
Our solution
Peoplevox plays well with others. We integrate natively with ecommerce leaders like Shopify Plus, Loop Returns, Descartes Sellercloud, and dozens more. Need more? Our APIs let you connect anything else.
Key Benefit
Build your own ecosystem. No silos. No duct tape. Just seamless, real-time fulfillment.

FAQ
What is D2C in ecommerce?
Direct-to-consumer (D2C) ecommerce means selling products directly to your customers via your own online store — no middlemen, no retailers.
What is D2C fulfillment?
D2C fulfillment is the process of receiving, picking, packing, and shipping online orders directly to customers. It replaces wholesale distribution or retail partnerships with a faster, leaner, and more customer-focused process.
Should I use a 3PL or run my own warehouse?
If your focus is elsewhere and margin isn’t your biggest concern, a 3rd-party logistics (3PL) provider may work.
But if you’re growing fast, want control, and care about operational efficiency — running your own warehouse with the right system gives you the edge.
How do I scale D2C fulfillment without hurting margins?
Use a system like Descartes Peoplevox to eliminate paper, automate workflows, reduce hiring pressure, and dramatically increase throughput — all while maintaining accuracy at 100% in most cases.
