  • Pricing and implementation cost are entirely quote-based with no public reference points
  • The buyer profile is narrow: it is aimed at complex distribution, and simpler operations will pay for depth they never use

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Locate2u: How much does Locate2u cost?

Locate2u's Platform plan starts at AUD 1,100/month (approximately USD 730) and scales with functionality. The Enterprise plan requires a custom quote. Optional modules for AI Agents, White Label, and API/Integrations are priced separately.

Source
Softeon: What makes Softeon different from other WMS vendors?

Its claim is delivery reliability rather than feature superiority, backed by a published record of implementations going live on time. In a market where WMS overruns are normal, that is the pitch.

Locate2u: Does Locate2u offer a free trial?

Yes, Locate2u offers a free trial period with no credit card required and full feature access to evaluate the platform before committing to a paid plan.

Source
Softeon: Configuration or customisation?

Configuration-driven by design. That is worth verifying in detail, because customised warehouse systems are the ones that become impossible to upgrade or replace later.

Locate2u: Are there additional costs for Locate2u add-ons?

Yes, optional modules are priced separately including AI Agents for dispatch and customer service, White Label custom branding, and API/Integrations for REST API and webhooks. All modules can be added to either Platform or Enterprise plans.

Source
Softeon: What does it cost?

Not published. Enterprise annual licensing plus implementation, quoted on scope.

Softeon: Does it handle warehouse automation?

Yes, warehouse execution and automation integration are core rather than bolted on, which is the main reason it appears on shortlists with automation vendors.

Softeon: Is it right for a single small warehouse?

No. The capability is aimed at complex, high-volume distribution, and a single simple site will not repay the implementation.
