eveXso vs Microlistics

Microlistics is the incumbent you are most likely to be told is the safe choice in Australia, and that reputation is earned — Melbourne-built, in the market since 1994, and backed by WiseTech Global. If you are weighing us against them, the decision usually comes down to cold chain depth and the CargoWise ecosystem on their side, against a modern platform you can shape around your operation — API-first architecture, configurable workflows, and agentic AI — on ours.

Who Microlistics are

A Melbourne-headquartered WMS vendor founded in 1994 and owned by ASX-listed WiseTech Global since 2017, offering four product variants — Enterprise, Chilled, 3PL, and Express — as part of the CargoWise Warehouse Suite.

Which one fits your operation

There is no useful version of this page where one product wins everything. Here is our honest read.

Choose Microlistics if

  • check_circle_outlineYou run cold storage or chilled distribution. Microlistics WMS Chilled is a dedicated product variant for it and their cold-chain pedigree is well established.
  • check_circle_outlineYou are already on CargoWise for freight forwarding or customs. Microlistics is part of the CargoWise Warehouse Suite, so that integration is native rather than something either of us has to build.
  • check_circle_outlineProcurement weighs analyst coverage and long trading history. They were founded in 1994, appeared in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for WMS in 2017, and have references including Linfox and Spotlight Retail Group.

Choose eveXso if

  • check_circleYou need the WMS configured around your workflows rather than adapting the operation to a rigid product template.
  • check_circleYou want a modern, API-first platform with documented REST endpoints your team can build on — not integration through a black-box interface engine alone.
  • check_circleYou want an AI that carries out warehouse work rather than only surfacing analytics dashboards.
  • check_circleYou manufacture as well as store and ship, or you want WMS, TMS, and production on one platform.

Side-by-side comparison

Every Microlistics claim below is drawn from the sources listed at the foot of this page and was checked in September 2026.

Fit to your operation

eveXso

eveXso is configured around how your warehouse already runs — your workflows, pick rules, and compliance requirements — not the other way around. Event-driven scripts, custom fields, and configurable workflows let you adapt the system without reshaping the operation to fit rigid product defaults or waiting on a vendor roadmap.

Microlistics

Microlistics is a mature WMS with four product variants (Enterprise, Chilled, 3PL, Express) and deep warehouse functionality. Configuration and change typically run through their implementation partner model rather than the event-driven scripts and self-service workflow tailoring eveXso is built around — worth comparing if your processes are non-standard.

Platform architecture

eveXso

Modern, API-first cloud platform built on the same REST surface the product uses internally: 1,200+ documented endpoints and a public playground. Regional infrastructure in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. WMS, TMS, and production on one platform — no bolt-on modules that drift out of sync.

Microlistics

Established WMS architecture with on-premise, private cloud, or managed cloud deployment. Integration relies on a generic interface engine for connecting third-party software and hardware; endpoint-level public REST documentation is not published, so integration scope and ownership need to be agreed during evaluation.

Agentic AI

eveXso

Dave, our built-in agentic AI, carries out work rather than describing it — actioning a pick, reprioritising a wave, or reconciling against your ERP — through function calling on that same API, always inside each user's site permissions.

Microlistics

Microlistics publishes warehouse insights modules and analytics dashboards covering labour productivity, inbound and outbound trends, space, and stock movement. We could not find a customer-facing agentic AI assistant in their public material as at September 2026. If that has changed, tell us and we will update this page.

WMS, TMS, and production

eveXso

Production management on the same platform as WMS and TMS: work orders, recipes and BOMs, and batch production, with no third system to reconcile.

Microlistics

Warehouse management across four variants. Their material does not describe production or manufacturing management, or transport as a first-class module on the same platform.

Cold chain

eveXso

Batch, lot, and serial tracking with FEFO and FIFO picking rules, expiry visibility at location level, and expiry alerting. Suited to food and beverage and FMCG, but we do not sell a dedicated cold-store product.

Microlistics

WMS Chilled is a dedicated cold storage variant, and cold chain is one of their recognised strengths. If chilled or frozen is the core of your operation, this is a real advantage.

Deployment

eveXso

Cloud deployment on regional infrastructure in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, with on-premise deployment available where required. For UK cloud customers, warehouse transactional data is held in AWS London and is not replicated to other regions.

Microlistics

On-premise on your own infrastructure, or a private, fully managed Microlistics Cloud.

Mobile and floor hardware

eveXso

Bring-your-own-device iOS and Android with camera GS1 scanning, plus Zebra support — no proprietary RF lock-in. The floor app ships in 18 languages for multilingual teams; Dave's chat interface is English today.

Microlistics

RF and mobile workflows for warehouse operations. Their public material does not state a supported interface language list.

Ecosystem and ERP

eveXso

ERP-agnostic by design — pre-built connectors for Business Central, NetSuite, Acumatica, MYOB Acumatica, MYOB EXO, Pronto, and Greentree, plus an open API for anything else.

Microlistics

Part of the WiseTech CargoWise ecosystem. A strong advantage if you are already there, and worth weighing as a strategic dependency if you are not.

Segment

eveXso

Mid-market operators running their own warehouses, plus 3PLs, across Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.

Microlistics

Small business through to divisions of large multinationals. Independent analysis calls Microlistics WMS 3PL a default consideration for mid-market Australian 3PLs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the main difference between eveXso and Microlistics?

Microlistics is the long-established Australian incumbent, founded in 1994, owned by WiseTech Global, and strongest in cold chain and inside the CargoWise ecosystem. eveXso is a modern, API-first platform built to be configured around how your operation already runs — event-driven scripts, custom workflows, and 1,200+ documented REST endpoints on the same surface Dave and the UI use. Dave executes warehouse work through that API rather than only surfacing analytics, and production management runs on the same platform as WMS and TMS.

When is Microlistics the better choice?

Cold storage is the clearest case — WMS Chilled is a dedicated variant and their cold-chain track record is strong. They are also the better choice if you are already on CargoWise, since that integration is native. If your procurement process weights long trading history and analyst coverage heavily, they have been in the market since 1994 and appeared in Gartner's WMS Magic Quadrant in 2017.
