How is execution intelligence different from my WMS?

Your WMS records what should happen — inventory, orders, and pick lists. Execution intelligence uses computer vision to verify what actually happens on the floor, catching errors the WMS can’t see because it’s only as accurate as the scans entered into it.

Does Praxis replace my WMS or ERP?

No. Praxis is the verification layer on top of your existing stack. It connects to ERP systems like NetSuite, SAP, and Sage, consolidates point tools, and reconciles physical reality back to your system of record.

Do I need barcodes or scans on every item?

No. Praxis observes work directly with computer vision, so it can verify picking, packing, and loading even for partial pallets, mixed cases, and inventory encountered outside active scans.

How is this different from scan-based or drone-based solutions?

Scan-based systems only capture what a worker remembers to scan, and drones inspect inventory on a schedule. Praxis continuously verifies execution as work happens, in the worker’s natural flow — without changing how they work.

How long does it take to deploy?

Praxis deploys without robots, conveyor changes, or warehouse re-slotting, so most operations are up and running quickly on their existing layout and workflows.

Execution Intelligence vs. WMS

Know your processes are being followed — and why deviations happen.

Enterprise operators don't just need to know an order shipped — they need confidence the right process was followed every time, and when a deviation occurs, the why and how behind it. Praxis verifies what actually happens on your floor with computer vision, in real time.

The assurance layer your WMS was never built to provide — built for teams that need proof, not assumptions, that every process was followed.

What is execution intelligence

The Missing Layer Above Your WMS

Warehouse software tells you what should happen. Execution intelligence confirms whether the process was actually followed — and when it wasn't, captures why and how — closing the gap between the system and the floor.

Systems of Record

WMS and ERP platforms store what should happen — inventory counts, orders, and pick lists. They are the source of truth, but they can't see the floor.

Systems of Coordination

Task and workflow tools orchestrate who does what and when. They route work, but still trust that each task was completed correctly.

Praxis fills this gap

Execution Intelligence

Computer vision that verifies what actually happened — every pick, pack, and load confirmed in real time against what the WMS expected.

Side by side

Traditional WMS vs. Execution Intelligence

A WMS reports what it was told. Here's how each layer handles the three things operators actually ask for — was the process followed, why a deviation happened, and whether you can prove it.

Capability comparison of a traditional WMS / ERP versus Praxis execution intelligence.
Capability	Traditional WMS / ERP	PraxisExecution Intelligence
Know the process was followed
Confirms the right action was taken — not just a scan
Confirms the right product was actually handled	Needs barcode/scanner + heavy integration
Real-time confirmation of each task on the floor
Guides frontline workers in the moment
Understand deviations — the why & how
Catches pick & pack errors before orders ship	Only if every item is scanned correctly
Shows why and how a deviation occurred
Photo & video evidence of every task
Prove it to customers & auditors
Audit-ready record with lot & date traceability	Data only — no visual proof
Reconciles physical reality back to your WMS
System of record for inventory & orders

Praxis connects to NetSuite, SAP, Sage, Zoho, and QuickBooks Desktop — it adds the verification layer your WMS was never built to provide.

Compliance & audit

Proof your process was followed — and the record when it wasn't

As warehouse staff pick, pack, and load, Praxis captures photo and video evidence of the work itself — so you can confirm the right process was followed, and when a deviation occurs, see exactly why and how it happened.

Captured as your team works

Warehouse staff just do their job. Praxis records each pick, pack, and load as photo and video evidence — no extra scans, forms, or steps on the floor.

See why deviations happen

When a step is skipped or the wrong item moves, the record shows the why and how — item, worker, time, and location, backed by the footage — not just that something went wrong.

Lot, date & traceability for audits

Praxis reads lot codes and expiration dates during normal work, building an auditable chain of custody for recalls and food-safety compliance.

Proof when claims & chargebacks hit

Pull up the photo and video of exactly what shipped to settle mis-ship claims and retailer chargebacks — protecting your team and your margins.
