Warehouse Management System
Consolidate your inventory views with a Warehouse Management System
Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) gives supply chain managers full visibility of every stock item across the supply chain, from manufacturing to distribution centers and retail shelf space. This is real-time data so you can view the availability and location of all inventories in the system at any point in time.
This powerful software package helps businesses to improve resource deployment and maximize equipment, space, and labor utilization. WMS systems streamline inventory activities and movements, consolidating the process in a single system.
A WMS is not a one size fits all package. You can choose from one of four WMS options to suit your requirements and your budget.
- – basic systems needed to run a warehouse. They may be difficult to integrate with other systems, but many businesses have put them to good use.
- – integrate with accounting, human resources, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems.
- – ideal for swift integration and low IT management costs. Cloud-based systems are scalable, more secure, and easy to use.
- – more sophisticated systems offer full supply chain management solutions, including vendor management, transportation management, and CRM.
The best WMS system for your business depends on the size and complexity of the operations and supply chain. Modern-day WMS systems will include multi-channel fulfillment, value-added services, and warehouse automation along with logistics and inventory management.
