MPX (by wms.Studio) - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

MPX (by wms.Studio) is a warehouse management and vertical lift machine (VLM) control software platform designed for warehouses and distribution centres of all sizes, from small stock rooms to large multi-technology fulfilment operations. The platform connects and controls VLMs from multiple manufacturers — including Kardex, Hanel, Modula, Weland Solutions, Logimat, and Megamat — alongside smart lockers, conveyors, AGV systems, and traditional racking, all within a single software and IT environment. Deployment options include cloud hosting on Microsoft Azure (available across the Lite, Host, and Pro tiers) and on-premises installation. Operator interfaces include mpx/WEB, a web-based touchscreen client for tablets and desktops, and mpx/VSU, a premium Windows desktop and Surface tablet client with barcode scanning and counting scale support.

The platform covers the full warehouse workflow: goods-in receipting, inventory management, location management, batch picking, cross-docking, rack management, dispatching, and locker management. Batch picking with put-to-light technology consolidates hundreds of orders into a single cycle using multi-operator put-to-light devices, supporting put mode, sort mode, and a perpetual non-stop picking mode. Rack-based pick-to-light provides per-location devices for high-speed zone-based picking in pick-to-order and batch-to-order modes. The warehouse control system (WCS) layer integrates conveyors, AGVs, robotics, picking trolleys, and ASRS into a centralised management framework. ERP connectivity is available via RESTful JSON APIs, SOAP 1.2, and legacy CSV file formats.

MPX (by wms.Studio) is built on a Microsoft SQL Server backend with no data volume limits, capable of handling millions of transactions per hour, and supports external analysis tools, reporting applications, and real-time integrations. The platform scales across four tiers — Lite, Host, Pro, and Enterprise — with tier changes requiring only a plan update. Documented deployments span automotive parts distribution and industrial distribution, with customers including operations in the automotive aftermarket and specialist parts sectors.
