SaaS (Software as a Service)
What is SaaS?
SaaS is a software distribution and licensing model where the application is hosted on an external server (in the "Cloud") and the customer accesses it via the internet. Instead of purchasing a perpetual license and installing the WMS on local physical servers (On-Premise model), the company pays a monthly or annual subscription for the use of the service.
