Does this check suit a WMS other than Reflex?
Yes. The six checkpoints apply to any WMS project. Younesse Mellas's expertise is on Hardis Reflex, but the check does not depend on the vendor.

Will your WMS project hold its go-live date?
Six checkpoints to spot what threatens your schedule or your go-live: scope, testing, interfaces, data, team and go-live preparation. Instant result, no contact details.

Six checkpoints, scored from 0 to 3
A WMS project rarely derails because of a single technical issue: it weakens when testing, interfaces or data migration are handled too late. This check gives a score, names your two weakest points and suggests what to do first. It applies to any WMS; Younesse Mellas's expertise is on Hardis Reflex.
- Scope & scheduleA frozen scope and a schedule built from the testing and go-live milestones.
- TestingEnd-to-end scenarios, written and then run by key users.
- InterfacesExchanges with the ERP, TMS, carriers or e-commerce tested end to end, with realistic volumes.
- DataItems, locations and stock cleaned, with a migration rehearsed before go-live.
- Project teamA project manager and key users who are really available, with training planned.
- Go-liveA detailed plan, a rollback, go/no-go criteria and hypercare, rehearsed before the day.
// How to read your result
A single zero is enough to put the project « at risk »
The overall score is the average of your answers, scaled to 100. But the level is capped at « at risk » as soon as one checkpoint is at zero: a go-live depends on the whole chain, and a missing link can block the warehouse on start-up day.
Four reading levels, from the most fragile to the most solid:
01
Critical
Several fundamentals are missing. As it stands, the go-live date cannot be held without putting operations at risk.
02
At risk
At least one weak point can derail the go-live. There is still time to act, provided it is addressed now.
03
Under watch
The project is moving on solid ground. A few points remain to be locked before confirming the go-live date.
04
Under control
The fundamentals are in place. The challenge is to keep this rigor through post-go-live stabilization.
// Frequently asked questions
WMS project: your questions
Why is a single zero enough to put the project at risk?
Because the go-live depends on the whole chain: untested interfaces or unmigrated data can block the warehouse on start-up day, even if the rest of the project is solid.
What should I do if my project is « critical » or « at risk »?
Address the two flagged points first, then decide on facts: postpone, reduce the scope or strengthen the team. A risk audit by an outside expert lets you make these choices before go-live.
Does this check replace a WMS project audit?
No. It is a first screening from six answers. It helps decide whether to go further; it does not replace the analysis of your documents, schedule and teams.
