A warehouse is a vital part of every supply chain. From retailers to grocers and distributors to manufacturers, the warehouse makes the supply chain work. At its core, the warehouse is a central location where goods are bought, stored, and distributed for additional processing. Making the warehouse as efficient as possible drives down cost, order delays, and errors which is critical in today’s competitive environment.
Small or large warehouse operations can require inspection, procurement, acceptance, put-away to picking, packing, order assembly and shipping. The Warehouse Management System (WMS) directs every step in the process and captures accurate records of where the inventory is and where it is going.
As companies adapt to changing consumer purchasing patterns, the WMS has to keep up. Whether you are handling individual orders from eCommerce or bulk orders from retailers, the WMS needs to perform operations efficiently and be adaptable to new technologies.
In our experience, the WMS must have:
Seamless integration to ERP
Real-time inbound and outbound processing
Unified yard management
Intelligent inventory management
Resource orchestration
Intuitive and configurable user experience
