WHAT IS A WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM?
A warehouse management system (WMS) helps companies manage and control day-to-day warehouse operations, from the moment products enter a distribution center until they leave. This system gives you real-time visibility into the location and status of your inventory, in all warehouses and in transit.
A powerful warehouse management system allows you to manage the receiving, stocking, picking, packing, shipping, tracking of goods and replenishment processes.
By integrating with tools such as barcode scanning, RFID tagging, transportation and logistics systems, or an ERP software, the warehouse management system helps streamline all aspects of warehouse management through a single interface.
