WMS TCO calculator
Six sliders, two stacked-bar outputs. Fishbowl-tier uses Fishbowl Inventory $229/mo and Advanced Warehouse $595/mo published anchors. Manhattan-tier uses a $250K-$2M implementation ceiling, benchmarked to Panorama Consulting's ERP-implementation data.
Fishbowl-tier estimate

$853,869Fishbowl-tier uses Fishbowl Inventory published $229/mo and Advanced Warehouse $595/mo anchors. Manhattan-tier uses a $250K to $2M mid-market implementation band, benchmarked to Panorama Consulting's ERP-implementation data, as the implementation ceiling. Hardware uses Zebra published list (TC78 $3,200, ZT411 $2,400) for the Manhattan tier and SMB-class equivalents for the Fishbowl tier. Blended consulting rate is $225/hr SMB and $275/hr enterprise.
How the bars compose
- Y1 license = per-user monthly anchor x 12 x named users, or perpetual per-user x users (whichever the deployment toggle picks).
- Y1 implementation = 1.5x license for SMB cloud, 2-3x license for mid-market, capped at a $2M mid-market ceiling benchmarked to Panorama's ERP-implementation data[s-17].
- Y2-5 maintenance = 18-22%/yr of perpetual license, or 5-7%/yr of SaaS subscription as annual uplift.
- Y1 hardware = RF guns ($1,500 SMB / $3,200 enterprise Zebra TC78)[s-24], printers ($800 / $2,400 Zebra ZT411), WiFi survey ($4K SMB / $12K enterprise).
- Y1 consulting = integrations x hours x blended rate ($225/hr SMB, $275/hr enterprise SI).
Calculator questions
Can I export the table to CSV?
Yes - the dedicated calculator screen will offer CSV download in v2. For now, the on-screen segments are copy-paste ready and the math behind each is documented above.
What if I am on per-order pricing (Logiwa, ShipHero)?
Toggle the deployment to per-order and the license band shifts to monthly-orders-based math. ShipHero and Logiwa are both quote-only on exact dollars, but the per-order branch lands them in a comparable band.
Why two tiers and not one number?
Because vendor pricing in this category is bimodal. SMB cloud (Fishbowl publishes from-prices; ShipHero, Extensiv, Logiwa are quote-only per-order). Tier-1 (Manhattan, Blue Yonder, SAP, Oracle) is quote-only enterprise. A single midpoint would mislead both buyers.
