Can inventory and order software run on a Windows VPS?

Yes, the business systems: inventory, order processing, billing, customer records, and reporting, used by office staff over Remote Desktop. Warehouse floor hardware keeps its local network; the VPS is the system of record it feeds.

Does a VPS work across multiple warehouses?

Yes, that is a core use case: every site connects to the same environment, so stock records and orders stay consistent without a server per location.

What size VPS does a distribution business need?

Three to five office users on inventory and billing software typically start at 4 vCPU / 8 GB, moving to 4 vCPU / 16 GB when the database and reporting load grow. SQL-backed systems lean on RAM first.

What about barcode scanners and local devices?

Test device workflows before cutover. Scanners and printers bound to the local network generally keep working locally, while the records they update live on the server. Anything device-dependent deserves a pilot before production.

Windows VPS for Logistics and Distribution Companies

Learn when a Windows VPS fits logistics and distribution companies that need inventory systems, warehouse access, remote teams, shared files, and backup planning.

A Windows VPS for logistics and distribution companies can centralize inventory software, order processing, customer records, billing, reports, shared documents, and remote user sessions in one cloud-hosted Windows Server environment.

It is strongest for the business systems used by management, finance, dispatch, purchasing, customer service, and warehouse administration. It can also support warehouse users when the application vendor allows hosted Windows Server or Remote Desktop Services deployments and every scanner, label printer, scale, carrier integration, and packing workflow has been tested.

A Windows VPS should not automatically replace every local warehouse system. Device-heavy packing stations, conveyor controls, serial equipment, proprietary shipping hardware, or workflows that must continue during an internet outage may need a local component or hybrid design.

Raff Technologies provides the Windows VM infrastructure. The logistics company or its MSP remains responsible for application support, licensing, RDS CALs, user access, device testing, database administration, backups, security, migration, and recovery.

Centralize logistics apps, files, users, and reporting on Windows.

Windows VPS for logistics companies: quick verdict

Use the table below before moving logistics or distribution workloads to a Windows VPS.

Logistics situation	Windows VPS fit	Why
Inventory or order-processing software supports Windows Server	Strong fit after vendor confirmation	Applications, databases, reports, and users can share one hosted environment.
Management needs access from home, another office, or while traveling	Strong fit	Authorized users can reach the same Windows applications and reports remotely.
Finance, billing, and customer service use the same operational data	Strong fit	Centralization reduces separate installs, exports, and conflicting records.
Several warehouses or branches use different copies of files	Strong fit with connectivity planning	Users can work from one controlled environment rather than maintaining separate versions.
An aging office server hosts inventory or shipping software	Strong fit after dependency review	The business can move away from one physical server without immediately replacing the application.
Barcode scanners and label printers are essential	Test before production	Drivers, redirection, local services, label templates, and application behavior vary.
Carrier tools require local USB or proprietary hardware	Hybrid or local component may be required	The application may work remotely while the shipping workflow fails.
Warehouse work must continue through an internet outage	Hybrid or offline-capable design required	A cloud-only system creates a connectivity dependency.
Conveyor, sortation, or automation control is the main workload	Keep control local	Physical equipment control has different latency, safety, and availability requirements.
The company already uses a supported browser-based SaaS platform	Depends	A Windows VPS may add complexity without solving a real problem.

The strongest candidate is a small or midsize logistics, wholesale, fulfillment, or distribution company that still relies on Windows business software but needs consistent access across offices, warehouses, branches, and remote staff.

The goal is not to move every warehouse device into the cloud. The goal is to centralize the business environment while preserving local workflows that depend on physical equipment or uninterrupted site access.

Why logistics companies outgrow local Windows servers

Many logistics businesses begin with a practical setup: one office server, a shared drive, locally installed inventory software, and several warehouse PCs.

That setup becomes harder to manage as the company adds customers, stock locations, users, carriers, branches, delivery routes, and higher order volume.

Common problem	What it looks like in practice	How a Windows VPS can help
Inventory software is tied to one office	Remote staff connect through an unreliable VPN or office PC	The supported application can run in one cloud-hosted Windows environment.
Warehouses use separate spreadsheets or exports	Stock data and order status differ by location	Central users can work from the same application and database.
Shipping documents are scattered	Labels, manifests, invoices, POD files, and reports live on different PCs	Shared folders and permissions can be centralized.
The server is aging	Disk, power supply, warranty, and replacement concerns increase	The workload moves away from one physical machine.
Remote access is inconsistent	Home users, dispatchers, and managers depend on changing VPN or PC conditions	Users connect to a controlled hosted environment.
Every workstation has a different setup	Application versions, printers, mapped drives, and settings vary	A central environment is easier to standardize and support.
Backups are unclear	Files are copied occasionally, but database and restore procedures are unproven	Backup layers, retention, and restore testing can be documented.
Growth requires another hardware purchase	More users and records demand CPU, RAM, and storage	A VM can be resized and extended with attached storage.

The business benefit is not simply replacing a server rack with a cloud server.

It is giving authorized teams one controlled place to reach the applications, data, and documents that move orders through the business.

Logistics workloads that fit a Windows VPS

Inventory and warehouse-management administration

A Windows VPS can host inventory or warehouse-management software when the vendor supports the operating system, hosted deployment, database, and multi-user access model.

Potential workloads include:

item and SKU records;
stock balances;
warehouse locations and bins;
receiving administration;
picking and packing records;
transfers between locations;
batch, lot, or serial-number records;
reorder and replenishment reports;
cycle-count administration;
damaged-stock records;
stock valuation reports;
exported labels and packing documents.

The server can centralize the application and its data, but it does not guarantee that the physical warehouse workflow will function correctly. Receiving, picking, scanning, label printing, corrections, and returns must be tested from the actual site.

Read Windows VPS for ERP and Inventory Software when the ERP or inventory platform is the primary workload.

Order processing and customer service

Distribution businesses often use Windows applications for the steps between customer demand and warehouse execution.

A hosted environment may centralize:

sales orders;
purchase orders;
order status;
allocations and backorders;
customer records;
pricing and discount rules;
credit status;
returns and authorizations;
shipment history;
invoice preparation;
proof-of-delivery documents;
customer-service notes;
reports and exports.

Central access can reduce the need to email spreadsheets or export data between departments. It also makes role-based permissions easier to manage than separate application installs on many PCs.

Dispatch, routing, and delivery administration

A Windows VPS can support dispatch and delivery administration when the software is a normal Windows business application rather than a latency-sensitive vehicle-control or automation system.

Potential uses include:

dispatch boards;
route planning applications;
delivery schedules;
driver documents;
shipment status reports;
customer delivery windows;
freight documents;
proof-of-delivery archives;
exported route files;
billing and exception reports.

Mobile driver applications, telematics platforms, and live tracking systems may remain separate SaaS or vendor-managed systems. The Windows VPS can host the back-office application, integration service, reports, or exported records when the vendor supports that design.

Finance, billing, and purchasing

Logistics companies often combine operational software with separate accounting, billing, purchasing, or payroll applications.

Business workload	Typical use in the hosted environment
Accounts receivable	Customer invoices, credits, statements, and aging reports
Accounts payable	Supplier and carrier invoices, approvals, and payment files
Billing	Freight, handling, storage, fulfillment, and accessorial charges
Purchasing	Purchase orders, supplier records, and replenishment activity
Payroll	Restricted access for authorized finance staff
Costing	Margin, freight cost, warehouse cost, and customer profitability reports
Month-end reporting	Database, CPU, memory, and export capacity during peak periods

The environment should be sized for reporting peaks and database activity, not only the number of employees with licenses.

Shared documents and operational records

Logistics businesses generate large volumes of documents that support the application workflow.

A Windows VPS can centralize:

bills of lading;
packing lists;
manifests;
invoices;
delivery notes;
proof-of-delivery files;
customs and import-export records;
customer instructions;
carrier documents;
rate sheets;
warehouse procedures;
safety documents;
claims and damage reports;
exported spreadsheets;
archived reports;
scanned receiving documents.

Moving files to a cloud server does not fix poor organization. Clean up duplicate folders, naming rules, access permissions, retention requirements, and archive ownership before migration.

Read Windows VPS as a Cloud File Server when shared files are the main problem.

A practical logistics and warehouse architecture

A small or midsize logistics environment may use a hybrid pattern:

Hybrid logistics architecture showing management, finance, customer service, dispatch, and branch offices accessing a cloud Windows VPS for inventory, order processing, documents, permissions, and backups while barcode scanners, label printers, packing stations, scales, and carrier services remain in the local warehouse environment

The cloud environment becomes the shared business system. The local warehouse keeps the devices and procedures that need to remain close to physical operations.

A good design answers six questions:

Which system is the source of truth for inventory and orders?
Which warehouse devices connect directly to the application?
Which services must remain local?
What data moves between the warehouse and cloud environment?
What happens when the site loses internet access?
Who owns recovery when an application, device, or integration fails?

Do not create broad network access only because it is convenient. Permit the identities, ports, systems, and data flows that the documented workflow requires.

Connecting offices, warehouses, and branches

A logistics company may operate a head office, one or more warehouses, retail or service branches, remote dispatchers, and staff working from home.

A centralized Windows VPS can give authorized users access to the same:

inventory application;
order database;
customer records;
billing tools;
reports;
shared documents;
mapped drives;
templates;
archived records;
administrative utilities.

This can reduce application-version drift and separate file copies, but the user experience still depends on connectivity and latency at each site.

Test from every important location. A server that feels fast from headquarters may perform differently from a warehouse using congested broadband, fixed wireless, or cellular failover.

For every location, document:

primary internet connection;
backup connection;
expected latency;
firewall or VPN requirements;
active user count;
printers and scanners;
local carrier tools;
outage procedure;
support contact;
recovery priority.

Read Windows VPS for Multi-Location Small Businesses for the broader branch-office model.

Remote Desktop access should follow user roles

Microsoft describes Remote Desktop Services as a Windows Server platform for delivering managed desktops and applications to users in offices, homes, branches, and partner locations.

A logistics company should not give every employee the same desktop, permissions, or redirection rights.

User role	Likely access need
Owner or director	Reports, dashboards, approvals, and financial visibility
Operations manager	Inventory, order status, exceptions, and warehouse reporting
Dispatcher	Dispatch board, routes, shipment status, and driver documents
Customer service	Orders, availability, delivery status, returns, and customer records
Finance team	Billing, accounting, payroll, and reports
Purchasing team	Suppliers, purchase orders, replenishment, and stock reports
Warehouse supervisor	Inventory, receiving, picking, packing, and exception workflows
Warehouse operator	A limited application or task-specific session rather than full desktop access
MSP or IT provider	Administration, patching, monitoring, backups, and recovery

Use named accounts instead of shared warehouse logins where practical. Separate administrator credentials from daily user accounts. Restrict clipboard, drive, printer, and device redirection based on the workflow.

If employees use an RD Session Host for daily desktop or RemoteApp sessions, Microsoft requires an appropriate RDS Client Access License for each connecting user or device. Administrative sessions are not a substitute for a licensed multi-user environment.

Use these related guides:

Plan users, devices, storage, backups, and migration before launch.

Talk to Windows Engineer

Barcode scanners, label printers, scales, and carrier tools need workflow testing

Hardware dependencies are one of the biggest reasons a technically successful migration fails in daily operations.

A warehouse workflow may involve:

handheld barcode scanners;
USB scanners in keyboard-wedge mode;
network-connected scanners;
thermal label printers;
office and laser printers;
document scanners;
scales;
signature pads;
USB licensing dongles;
serial devices;
carrier desktop clients;
local browser extensions;
watched folders;
local services that generate labels or manifests.

Remote Desktop can redirect some local resources and peripherals, but policy, client settings, drivers, application behavior, and the device communication method all affect the result.

Test the complete process, not only whether Windows detects the hardware.

Device or dependency	Acceptance test
Barcode scanner	Scan mode, correct characters, focus behavior, prefixes or suffixes, and application validation
Label printer	Driver, label size, template, queue, print speed, darkness, and barcode readability
Document scanner	TWAIN or WIA requirement, upload path, resolution, naming, and multi-page workflow
Network printer	Reachability, permissions, driver compatibility, spool behavior, and failover
Shipping scale	Local service, serial or USB interface, unit handling, and application integration
Signature pad	Vendor support, redirection method, session behavior, and data capture
USB dongle	Vendor permission, network-license option, and redirection support
Carrier application	Supported Windows Server version, user context, updates, browser component, and printer integration
Watched folder	Path, permissions, naming, pickup timing, and recovery after disconnection
Export or import job	File format, schedule, service account, error handling, and duplicate prevention

Microsoft documents printer, drive, USB, clipboard, and other peripheral redirection as configurable RDP capabilities. A policy or client configuration can block a resource even when the session itself works.

Zebra also documents scanner behavior and remote-management options for supported hardware. That does not make every model or workflow automatically compatible. Use the device vendor's documentation for the exact scanner or printer model.

Inventory databases and integrations determine real performance

The visible Windows application may not be the main resource consumer. Inventory databases, order imports, reports, carrier integrations, and scheduled jobs can create more load than user sessions.

Document:

database engine and version;
database size and monthly growth;
peak order periods;
receiving and shipping peaks;
concurrent users;
report schedules;
import and export jobs;
EDI processes;
carrier integrations;
API services;
label-generation services;
mapped-drive dependencies;
service accounts;
scheduled tasks;
backup windows;
database maintenance;
transaction-log growth;
recovery model;
restore process.

A ten-user application can still need significant resources when a report scans years of order history or a batch job imports thousands of transactions.

Keep the application and database close to each other. Avoid placing a file-based database across a wide-area network path. If the database becomes large or business-critical, consider separating Remote Desktop, application, and database roles.

SQL Server backups should be planned around the chosen recovery model and verified through actual restore tests. A VM-level backup alone does not replace application-aware database protection.

Size for concurrent workflows, not total employees

Do not size a logistics Windows VPS by total staff count. Size it by concurrent sessions, application requirements, database activity, reports, integrations, and file growth.

Use the following only as initial test ranges:

Workload	Initial test size	Increase resources when
One administrator or reporting user	2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM	The app, browser, PDF tools, and reports compete for memory
2-3 light office users	4 vCPU / 8 GB RAM	Several sessions and documents stay open together
4-5 active business users	4 vCPU / 16 GB RAM	Inventory app, database, printing, and reports share one VM
6-10 active users	8 vCPU / 32 GB RAM	The server becomes a daily shared workspace
SQL-backed inventory or ERP system	8-16 vCPU / 32-64 GB RAM	Database working set, reports, imports, and integrations need more capacity
Document-heavy operation	Size storage separately	POD files, scans, manifests, labels, reports, and archives grow quickly
High-availability requirement	Multi-server assessment	One VM does not provide application-level failover

For a five-user office or dispatch team, 4 vCPU and 16 GB RAM can be a reasonable test starting point. It is not a performance guarantee.

Measure during representative workflows:

user logon time;
application launch time;
order lookup and save time;
inventory query time;
report duration;
CPU peaks;
available memory;
disk latency;
database waits;
label generation time;
print completion time;
import and export duration;
backup duration;
session disconnects;
storage growth.

Read Windows VPS Sizing for Remote Users before choosing a production plan.

Plan storage around database and document growth

Logistics environments can grow faster than expected because application data and operational documents expand at different rates.

Plan capacity for:

Windows and application installation;
inventory or ERP database;
transaction logs;
customer and supplier documents;
scanned receiving files;
labels and manifests;
proof-of-delivery archives;
exports and imports;
user profiles;
temporary report files;
integration logs;
backup staging;
migration copies;
12 to 24 months of growth.

Keep system, database, documents, and backups logically separated where the application supports it. Attached Raff Volumes can add block storage without using VM resize only to gain disk space, but volume layout and backup scope should be designed before moving production data.

Security must protect customer, inventory, and shipping data

A logistics Windows environment may contain customer records, addresses, pricing, invoices, supplier data, stock records, shipment history, credentials, and remote-access pathways.

Minimum controls include:

Security area	Planning requirement
Identities	Named users, strong authentication, and prompt offboarding
Administration	Separate privileged accounts and restrict administrator access
Remote access	Use a controlled RDS, RD Gateway, VPN, or private-access design
Firewall	Permit only required ports and sources
Permissions	Limit access by role, warehouse, department, customer, or responsibility
Warehouse stations	Use task-specific accounts and avoid unnecessary administrator rights
Service accounts	Document purpose, ownership, permissions, and credential rotation
Updates	Plan Windows, application, carrier-client, and device-driver maintenance
Logging	Review failed logons, changes, and unusual access
Backups	Protect backup deletion rights and recovery credentials
Vendor access	Make access approved, time-bound, and monitored where possible
Documentation	Record owners, dependencies, recovery order, and support contacts

Do not expose unrestricted RDP, SMB, or database ports directly to the public internet. Use explicit access rules instead of assuming that every office or warehouse network is trusted.

Backups must protect the application, database, files, and recovery process

A logistics backup plan needs more than a copy of the Windows disk.

Use layered protection:

Protection layer	Purpose
Application-aware database backup	Protect inventory, orders, billing, and transactional data correctly
File backup	Recover deleted or changed labels, manifests, scans, reports, and documents
VM backup	Recover the broader Windows environment
Snapshot before change	Create a short-term rollback point before updates or migration
Off-server copy	Reduce risk from server, account, or ransomware incidents
Retention policy	Preserve recovery points for the required business period
Restore test	Prove that applications, data, permissions, and workflows are usable
Recovery documentation	Preserve owners, credentials, sequence, dependencies, and contacts

A successful backup notification does not prove the operation can resume.

Restore the database to a test environment. Open the application. Confirm inventory and order records. Run a report. Test user permissions. Print a sample label or packing document. Validate integrations and scheduled jobs.

Raff VMs support scheduled backups and point-in-time snapshots, but application owners still need to define database protection, retention, off-server copies, and restore procedures.

Internet outages require a warehouse fallback

A cloud-hosted business application depends on site connectivity. Logistics companies should define what happens when a warehouse cannot reach the server.

Possible fallback measures include:

a secondary internet connection;
cellular failover;
locally available emergency contacts;
approved manual receiving forms;
approved manual shipping forms;
locally cached work instructions;
printed pick lists for limited scenarios;
queued transactions for later entry;
local access to carrier emergency procedures;
a process for reconciling offline activity;
a defined point at which shipping or receiving pauses.

Do not assume that mobile data is a recovery plan until it has been tested from the actual warehouse. Building construction, signal strength, carrier congestion, VPN behavior, firewall rules, and data limits can change the result.

The business should know whether a one-hour outage delays management reports, stops label printing, blocks receiving, prevents shipment confirmation, or halts the whole warehouse. That impact determines the connectivity and recovery design.

Migration should start with one bounded workflow

A logistics migration is safer when the first phase has a clear scope.

1. Inventory the current environment

Document:

applications and versions;
databases;
users and groups;
file shares and permissions;
mapped drives;
warehouse and branch locations;
scanners and printers;
scales and serial devices;
carrier software;
USB and licensing dongles;
scheduled tasks and services;
imports, exports, EDI, and APIs;
storage usage and growth;
backup jobs;
internet connections;
outage procedures;
recovery requirements;
vendor and MSP contacts.

2. Classify every dependency

Mark each item as:

cloud candidate;
local warehouse dependency;
integration between cloud and warehouse;
unsupported or unknown;
replacement candidate.

Unknown dependencies should block production cutover until they are tested.

3. Confirm vendor and licensing support

Ask the application vendor:

Is Windows Server supported?
Is virtual or hosted deployment supported?
Is Remote Desktop Services supported?
Which database edition and version are required?
Are multiple concurrent users supported?
Are label printers, scanners, scales, and carrier tools supported remotely?
Does the product require a USB dongle or local service?
Will the vendor support the application after migration?

4. Build a parallel test environment

Create a test Windows VPS, install the software, restore a copy of the data, and create non-administrator accounts for representative roles.

Test from the office, warehouse, branch, and remote-user networks. Do not approve the environment based only on an administrator session from headquarters.

5. Validate complete workflows

Test:

login and authentication;
application launch;
order entry and lookup;
inventory lookup and adjustment;
receiving workflow;
picking and packing workflow;
label printing;
document printing;
scanner input;
scale integration;
carrier export or client workflow;
report generation;
file open and save;
imports and exports;
scheduled jobs;
backup;
database restore;
loss of connectivity;
rollback.

6. Schedule a low-risk cutover

Avoid month-end, stock counts, holiday peaks, major promotions, large customer launches, or critical shipping windows.

Run the final backup and data synchronization. Validate the destination. Release users in a controlled order. Keep the previous environment available until the business owner, application owner, warehouse owner, and IT owner approve the new workflow.

7. Monitor the first operating cycle

Track performance and support issues through normal receiving, picking, packing, shipping, billing, and reporting cycles.

Monitor:

CPU and memory;
disk capacity and latency;
database performance;
session disconnects;
application errors;
printer and scanner issues;
integration failures;
backup success;
restore readiness;
support tickets;
user feedback.

Use the Windows Server Migration Checklist for Small Businesses and Local Server to Cloud Windows VPS Migration before production cutover.

When a Windows VPS is not the right fit

A Windows VPS should not be forced into every logistics workflow.

Situation	Better next step
Conveyor, sortation, or automation control depends on the server	Keep the control workload local and design integration separately
Warehouse work cannot tolerate internet loss	Preserve offline operation or build tested connectivity redundancy
The vendor prohibits hosted or RDS deployment	Use a supported model or replace the application
Critical workflow depends on unsupported USB or serial hardware	Keep the dependent component local or use a tested gateway
Carrier software requires an unsupported local environment	Keep the carrier tool local and integrate through approved files or APIs
A suitable SaaS WMS, TMS, or ERP already solves the requirement	Avoid adding Windows infrastructure without a clear benefit
The database requires high availability	Design database redundancy and failover rather than relying on one VM
Security ownership is undefined	Assign access, patching, backup, and incident owners first
Restore testing cannot be completed	Keep the environment in test status
No one owns warehouse outage procedures	Complete operational continuity planning before migration

The right answer may be cloud, local, SaaS, hybrid, or a larger multi-server design. The purpose of planning is to place each workload where it can be supported and recovered.

How Raff supports logistics and distribution workloads

Raff fits logistics and distribution companies that need a cloud-hosted Windows Server foundation for inventory applications, order processing, billing, reporting, shared documents, remote users, and replacement of an aging business server.

Raff Windows VMs provide administrator and Remote Desktop access, selectable Windows Server templates, NVMe-backed storage, optional attached Volumes, snapshots, scheduled backups, firewall controls, private networking options, VM resizing, and human support.

The logistics company or its MSP remains responsible for:

application compatibility;
vendor licensing;
RDS licensing;
user roles and offboarding;
database administration;
warehouse device testing;
printer and scanner configuration;
carrier integrations;
backup retention;
restore testing;
Windows and application updates;
security hardening;
migration and rollback;
business continuity;
compliance decisions.

Raff should be the infrastructure layer under a documented logistics workflow, not a shortcut around application support, device testing, or warehouse continuity planning.

Recommended path by logistics situation

Situation	Recommended path
One warehouse has an aging inventory server	Test the application, database, users, devices, backups, and restore on one Windows VPS
Management and finance need remote access	Use a controlled RDS or remote-access design with named users and licensing
Several warehouses need the same business system	Centralize the application, then test each site's connectivity and device workflow
Barcode scanners and printers are critical	Test exact models, drivers, templates, queues, and user sessions before cutover
Carrier software must remain local	Keep the local carrier component and define a narrow, documented integration
SQL Server drives performance	Size around database memory, reports, jobs, and recovery requirements
Warehouse operations must work offline	Preserve local procedures or an offline-capable component
Shared documents are the main problem	Use a structured file-server design with permissions and backup
High availability is mandatory	Evaluate a multi-server application and database architecture

Final logistics Windows VPS checklist

Before putting the environment into production, confirm:

Check	Done
Applications and versions inventoried	☐
Vendor support for Windows Server confirmed	☐
Hosted and RDS licensing reviewed	☐
Active users and roles documented	☐
Warehouses, branches, and remote locations documented	☐
Database requirements documented	☐
Barcode scanners tested	☐
Label printers and templates tested	☐
Scales, serial devices, and USB dependencies reviewed	☐
