When you\u2019re evaluating warehouse management software, the choice between Clarus WMS and K\u00f6rber WMS (formerly HighJump, now part of Infios<\/a>) comes down to one question: what does your warehouse actually need to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both are capable warehouse management systems with multi-client support, but they\u2019re built for different operational contexts. Infios is best known for enterprise deployments: large warehouses with significant investment in conveyors, robotics and labour management. Clarus is a Syst\u00e8me de gestion d'entrep\u00f4t (WMS) 3PL<\/a> built for multi-client warehousing, quicker deployment and published pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comparison is for 3PLs, distributors and mid-market warehouse operators weighing up their options. We cover cost, implementation speed, multi-client capability and feature depth, so you can make the right call for your operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verdict in one sentence:<\/strong> Choose Clarus if you need a WMS built for multi-client 3PL operations, with published pricing and a go-live measured in weeks. Choose Infios if you\u2019re running a large, automation-heavy distribution centre with an enterprise budget and a 4 to 8 month implementation window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is K\u00f6rber WMS (now Infios)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

K\u00f6rber WMS is the warehouse management system from K\u00f6rber\u2019s supply chain software business, which acquired HighJump in 2017<\/a>. That business became a joint venture between K\u00f6rber AG and KKR, and in March 2025 it rebranded as Infios. The product is now sold as Infios Warehouse Management<\/a>, available as SaaS or on-premise, with 1,600+ WMS customers across the Americas, Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infios WMS sits within a wider supply chain execution suite that includes a warehouse control system (WCS), transportation management, order management and labour management. For large operations running significant automation (conveyors, sortation, robotic case picking), Infios can coordinate both the WMS and the physical equipment through a single control point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is it good for?<\/strong> Infios is strongest in large, labour-intensive warehouses with significant automation investment, where WCS integration is critical. It also has a 3PL offering<\/a> with multi-client support, a built-in billing engine and a customer portal. For a small or mid-market 3PL, the full enterprise feature set is often more than you need, and the implementation timeline reflects that positioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is K\u00f6rber WMS suitable for small and mid-sized 3PLs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Technically, yes. Infios even markets a SaaS WMS for SMBs<\/a> with ready-made NetSuite and SAP Business One connectors. In practice, there are three things a smaller 3PL should weigh up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost.<\/strong> Infios doesn\u2019t publish pricing, so you won\u2019t know the figure until you\u2019ve been through a sales cycle. Plan for the shape of it: a subscription or licence, a professional services engagement to tailor the implementation, and contract terms to negotiate. For a mid-market 3PL, that\u2019s a procurement exercise rather than a software purchase, and it needs sign-off to match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementation time.<\/strong> Infios says most implementations take around 4 to 8 months. A standard Clarus implementation<\/a> goes live in around 12 weeks. If you\u2019re a 3PL trying to win a contract and get operational before the client loses patience, that difference can decide whether you can bid at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complexity.<\/strong> Infios\u2019s WCS, conveyor control, robotics orchestration and advanced labour management are valuable in a highly automated facility. If you\u2019re a 3PL running several semi-manual warehouses across the UK, you\u2019re paying for capability you won\u2019t use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who it works well for in that size range:<\/strong> A mid-market 3PL that\u2019s planning significant automation investment (conveyors, sortation, automated storage and retrieval) and can treat a multi-month implementation as a capital project. If that\u2019s you, Infios is worth evaluating alongside automation consultants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who it doesn\u2019t work for:<\/strong> A 3PL that needs to deploy quickly, run several regional sites<\/a> with different client needs, or replace spreadsheets without a long project plan. That\u2019s where Clarus fits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How does Clarus WMS compare to K\u00f6rber on cost and implementation time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cost and go-live speed are where the two platforms separate most clearly, and also where public information runs out fastest. Here\u2019s what can be verified, and what you\u2019ll need to ask for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pricing and total cost of ownership<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Clarus publishes its tiers. Plans<\/a> start from \u00a31,000 a month base across Core, Scale and Enterprise. A full quote adds tiered user licensing, where the cost per user falls as you scale, plus a one-off implementation fee for configuring your layout, cleaning SKUs and setting up courier logic. What it never adds is a throughput charge: orders, shipments, SKUs, stock records, locations and carriers are unlimited, so taking on a client or running a peak doesn\u2019t move the invoice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infios doesn\u2019t publish pricing, so nobody can build an honest like-for-like table from public information. Any five-year comparison you find online, including ones that flatter Clarus, is guesswork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you can do is make both vendors answer the same questions in writing before you compare anything:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The subscription, and exactly what makes it go up: users, sites, throughput, or all three.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Implementation and professional services, as a separate figure with a scope attached.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Annual support and maintenance, and whether upgrades are included or chargeable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Contract term, notice period, and what it costs to leave.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Run that for both and the difference will be obvious without anyone having to invent a number. Our Guide des co\u00fbts des syst\u00e8mes de gestion d'entrep\u00f4t (WMS)<\/a> covers what else to include. The structural point stands on its own: Clarus publishes a starting price and doesn\u2019t bill on volume, and Infios quotes per deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Proof point:<\/strong> Garde-meubles de St John's Hall<\/a>, a 3PL, cut its invoicing time by 90% with Clarus 3PL billing<\/a>. Its managing director used to spend around four days at the end of each month checking invoices by hand, and stopped once the Clarus data proved consistently accurate. Every putaway, pick, pack, storage day, value-added service and return is now recorded as the work happens, so nothing goes unbilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Rapidit\u00e9 de mise en \u0153uvre<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    A standard Clarus project goes live in around 12 weeks. Infios puts most of its implementations at 4 to 8 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The gap comes from the scope of the project rather than vendor effort. An enterprise deployment has to work through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
